Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomRoad noise might be a problem for some but ear plugs were provided in the drawer. Didn't bother us as we live near a busy road so used to it.
Very cosy room but also spacious. Very clean. Very comfortable bed and sleep. Fridge in the room with milk , water and juice provided. Kettle and range of teas etc. Pastries also. Don't get that with more "famous" companies! Thoughtful touches like corkscrew, wine stopper, toiletries and even cotton buds! Ten minutes walk down the hill into the centre of Whitby. Also the same by foot to the train station going downhill but on arrival suggest a taxi if you have luggage as it's a steep bank. Brilliant value for the price we paid for three nights. Donna was a very welcoming, friendly and helpful host.

This little gem is an absolute bargain a 15 minute walk from Whitby town centre with free parking. The little details in the room - there was a fridge, Danish pasties, hot chocolate, pint of milk, orange juice, decent toilet paper, air freshener, toiletries, cotton buds, a desk top fan, ear plugs and a couple of plates and glasses with a bottle opener - Donna has thought of everything. There is also a dvd player and films to borrow. Would thoroughly recommend. Thanks Donna x

Some great personal touches in the room, it had everything we needed and we were welcomed warmly on arrival. A fridge stocked with fresh milk, juice and water was a nice surprise given this was room only.

United KingdomLiked everything nothing to dislike.
Donna and Jamie were very welcoming. The whole place was immaculate. Attention to detail in the room was fantastic. Lovely little touches such as some bakery items left for us milk and water in the small fridge in the room. The room was spacious well equipped and very clean. The fact that it had parking too was also a big plus point. We will definitely be going back again the next time we are going to Whitby. If you’re thinking about booking here don’t hesitate you won’t be disappointed.
