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 KingdomStayed in a large double room which was lovely, the bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in! Spotlessly clean and lovely location. A lot we looked at didn't have parking however here we parked directly outside and you get a parking permit in your room. Would definitely recommend staying here!

United States of AmericaIt was all pretty top notch. The only thing missing was a luggage stand for the room - I had to put my bag on the ground, but that is a very small problem to have when traveling.
Recently updated - nice clean rooms with comfortable bed. Hot water in shower. There is a lockbox system to pick up the key. The email with the code was sent to my phone and I had no issues checking in (even checked in a couple of hours early).

A wonderful guest house, spotlessly clean, warm (we were there in February) and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay in Whitby even more pleasant, free parking right outside too!

United KingdomNo negatives at all.
What a fantastic place to stay! Communication from Emma prior to our arrival gave us all the check in details we needed. Parking outside and free parking permit waiting in our room. The building is beautiful with a lovely original tiled entrance. Our room was immaculate with an amazing sea view and had everything we needed and more. Fresh milk and bottled water in the fridge and additional glasses, cutlery plates etc in a separate storage box is a brilliant idea. We had a fantastic stay and can't wait to return.

United KingdomThe rooms got very damp because of the cold weather and the powerful heating system, making the walls wet and the windows drip. There was a small patch of mould in the corner, but I reported it and I understand the difficulties of property like this. I wouldn't mark it as a massive issue.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was within walking distance of everything one would want to see in the city, and yet it was far away enough not to be swamped. For the price, it exceeded any expectations I had of it. Anything we asked for, the staff helped with in moments; extra things for the room, helping with heavy bags, that sort of thing. The facilities were beyond what I expected and the room was cosy and homely. I would recommend it to anyone, even despite its one shortcoming.

The room was light and spacious. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of space to hang clothes, a mini fridge which they had kindly stocked with milk and water. Shower nice and hot. Plenty of complimentary coffee and tea. Quiet location but close to town. Lots of information provided in a folder which was great.
