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 KingdomCould do with a freezer compartment in the fridge. Bathroom in the extension is a bit chilly
Apartment is in a quirky part of Whitby, a bit like Brighton's Kemp Town. Ground-floor flat is big and airy, comfortable and clean, with easy key retrieval and drop-off. Lovely firm big bed, no passing late-night revellers! Well located for the short walk down into the town or turn left for the cliff walk overlooking the beach, which is beautiful.

Nice and light living/dining/kitchen. Washing machine. Short walk downhill into town but still in a quiet area. Resident's parking permit.

United KingdomWe were surprised having booked to be asked to pay either damage insurance of £25 or handover a deposit of £250 which would be returned 7 days after we left minus an administration charge of £10. This should be made part of the up front booking rather than being sent out after the booking had been made. It increases the price and makes price comparisons on booking.com incorrect.
Spacious living and dining area and the large window makes this room feel light and spacious. The bedroom and bathroom are less spacious but serve their purpose. The apartment was well cleaned prior to our arrival and the keysafe by the front door worked well.

United KingdomOur bedroom was downstairs in the apartment and was a little stuffy/warm as we were unable to open the window. There was no plug point next to the dresser to use the hairdryer so had to improvise and use it upstairs in the living room which had better ventilation with the windows open. Also slightly disappointed with the free parking offered with the booking as there was no availability at time of check-in within the W zones. This was a bit frustrating initially having to drive around trying to find a spot nearby so we had to use pay and display for some of the duration of our stay.
Central location and great information shared via Host & Stay about everything associated with the booking.

United KingdomDisappointed that the washing machine/drier wasn't working. Washing machine okay but no heat with the drier. I believe you were aware of this problem before we arrived but we were not pre-warned. Apparently no extra towels were available either!!! If we had known, we would have brought our own from home.
The location was very good - only a short walk to town centre. Apartment was well furnished, comfortable and clean. Enjoyed our stay very much.

United KingdomHad to be patient/lucky to find a parking space, but once you are in, no need to use the car as the location so good. First stay where I've been expected to strip the beds and bag the bedding and empty bins and dispose of rubbish in the property's wheelie bins outside. Probably reflected in the good price, and I'm sure was covered in the 'staying with us' agreement.
Amazing location for the town and the Pavilion. Lots of space in the shared areas. Very clean. The Online guide and it;s recommendations of what to do/where to eat in the area.
