Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomBed was not particularly comfortable, but this is personal taste. Lack of an iron and ironing board inside the property itself although there was a shared one very close by .
Perfect. Location situated right near robin hood bay, Scarborough and Whitby. Amazing view from patio. Property was spotlessly clean.

This is our fourth stay here with our dog Honey. The property is ideally located to allow for trips to all the local Beaty spots and beaches. Always a friendly warm welcome from the hosts, Graham and Lisa and we regard this as our home from home

United KingdomWow! What a jewel in Whitby's crown this hidden gem is. Far away to be in the peace and tranquility of the yorkshire countryside, yet close enough to lots if places to explore. The cottages are just beautiful, comfortable and cosy and VERY VERY hard to leave for a day of exploring... in fact for that reason we had a whole day in the cottage one day, watching the gorgeous goats, sheep and donkeys playing out front, birds on the feeders and admiring the sea view in the distance. The cottage had everything you needed, with a fantastic kitchen and all the utensils you could need. Loved being able to buy fresh eggs on site too and the welcome easter egg and Milk was very well recieved. Our 15 year old son really enjoyed "The Scratching Shed" and announced that when he was older he was going to make his own (sorry not Leeds Utd themed but Leicester City lol). Despite being a foxes fan 😉 He loved looking at the memoribila and tickets and we all really enjoyed a nightly 2 or 3 games of pool. It was really good fun. The shed has some old skool games, including retro pac man, darts board, full size table football, fridges full of drinks to purchase with an honesty box oh and a special mention to the owners home brew cider... It was great! 🙂 Cant recommend Meadowbeck enough, lots of memories made and we hope to return later in the year.

United KingdomIf I had to be really (and I mean really!) picky the only thing I could fault is the size of the kitchen bin! Only the size of a wastepaper basket. This had absolutely no affect on our holiday, just an observation!
Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Quaint and peaceful but within close distance to Whitby, Filey and Scarborough. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equiped. A real home from home with friendly, helpful hosts on site. Compared to other rentals in the summer holidays it was really reasonably priced. I would definately recommend!

We loved the view from the patio and watching the birds in the garden. The whole cottage was bright and inviting. The pictures don't show the little details that make it so inviting. It was very comfortable especially the bed and we felt right at home. Can't wait to stay again. Lisa was lovely and very warm and friendly.
