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 KingdomNothing, it's about 20 minute walk into the main part of Whitby so have good walking shoes due to the hills.
The room was clean and everything we needed was there. We were kept informed by the owner and had no issues. Plenty of tea, coffee and sugar to help ourselves to. Even toilet roll had been left for us. Thank you would highly recommend

United KingdomI had a very enjoyable few days here. Location is great, just a 10min walk into Whitby. Room was very comfortable, warm and clean. Parking to the rear of the property was a real bonus too. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

United KingdomNo meet & greet with owners and definitely not having breakfast .
The accommodation was spotless and clean , comfortable bed and lovely rooms . We missed meeting the hostess as we’ve always stayed places in Whitby where the owners have been on site , also this is our first time of staying somewhere without breakfast , we definitely missed that . Location was ok , 20 minute walk into main centre but too steep of a hill coming back up Outside light not on when we arrived back at accommodation so quite dark so used our lights on our phone.

Very comfortable stay, with heating coming on throughout the day. Reasonable pricing compared to many other guest houses in the area. Great proximity to the town, with not far to walk. The parking space was also handy after travelling far for the visit.

United KingdomAs someone else had said, the pillows were a bit hard but if that's the only criticism I can think of so it gets my recommendation. Will return.
Booked room only to do some walking around Whitby so 10 min walk to town was no problem, actually a bonus as we found a park and museum. All very clean and cosy. En suite toilet with unusual but functional shower cubicle in the room. We left early each day and got back late so didn't actually meet hosts but as we had no issues it was no problem.
