Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWith it being an old house the walls/ floors are thin so we could hear the another TV. But it didn’t dampen our overall thoughts of the property. Would recommend.
The location was excellent 10min walk into Whitby. The breakfast selection was really good and the room was very clean.

United KingdomMy room, while clean and tidy was small. I knew it was a single bunk bed room but it was a little cramped. It had a bathroom (which was lovely and clean) but it was separate to the bedroom which left me feeling quite conscious of making noise when using it at night. None of these points would stop me using staying in this room again, but I did feel it was slightly overpriced for what it was.
Great location, 10 minute walk to the harbour and to town. Clean and quiet place and Lorraine was extremely friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was a "help yourself" affair and the breakfast bar was well stocked with plenty of options.

United KingdomIt was a little cramped in the room, especially as we had to have breakfast in our room. Wasn't expecting this and also expected a cooked breakfast in a dinning room.
Convenient location. Bus stop across the road. Parking at the property. Friendly proprietor.

United KingdomThe room was very cold. I had turned the radiator up but the heating didn't seem to be on overnight.
Good location. Clean. Friendly owner. We booked last minute (3pm) as decided to stay over as traffic meant we arrived a lot later than planned for a day trip. Lorraine was very welcoming and accommodating. Little self serve breakfast on the landing helped start the next day right.

Brilliant location. Just a sort walk away from Whitby. Nice room with on suite. Owner is very friendly, accommodating and helpful and told us where to go for fossil hunting. Would come back if I ever went back to Whitby. A lot of choice for the self service breakfast on the floor.

Firstly, Lorraine is absolutely lovely and beyond welcoming, she makes you feel comfortable and safe the second you meet her, the location is great, especially the distance into town. The pond outside is beautiful, the fish and turtles are adorable! Would absolutely recommend this b&b :) thank you Lorraine!
