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 to dislike about the property.
Very clean, plenty of room, the kitchen is great having another tv and sofa. Every thing you need is in the house eg., iron and ironing board, hair dryer, towels, washing-up liquid etc. Just step out through the alley way and you are into the town, every thing near by, shops, beach pubs, yet the house is in a peaceful yard. A super homely house.

United KingdomOnly issues was the top floor bed and access I’m only 164cm and at 65 my limbo skills are not as sharp!!! we had to angle the bed so I could get past the brass bed end and sloping roof beams Also finding the sweet spot on the shower was fun!!!
Fantastic location and lovely property set out over 4 floors all the home comforts - once we had got our head around where to park the parking disc and permit system the holiday began ( more advance and clarity in explanation please ) located in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do

United KingdomCouncil parking policy is not visitor friendly and the sea gulls are very noisy at night; I understand this is not the property owner's fault. Otherwise, the accommodation itself was very good. Hosts do everything they can to make it a very pleasant stay.
The Kitchen diner was roomy, clean and well equipped. We were happy to self-cater.

United KingdomIt was fine for us but over 4 floors may not be suitable for either elderly or people with mobility issues.
Lovely property , right in the heart of Whitby. Was so close to the bridge but in a quiet little nook so felt homely and private. Really clean and well loved house.

United KingdomNothing really but would say its not suitable for people with mobility problems. Getting into the property was problematic the first time. You have to turn the door knob anti clockwise. I had to phone to find this out. Sykes should put it in their information as requested by the owner. Parking can be expensive and nearest car park is cash or app. No cards.
Right in the centre of Whitby. Lovely cottage. Very stylish, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomParking is a bit of an issue. The host provides a disc and a scratch card to ensure parking is free, but we could only find a parking place about 8 minutes walk from the property. It wasn't a massive issue for us, but I can see it being inconvenient for some, especially if using the car each day if your stay or if you had kids in tow. The property is on 4 floors with the kitchen being on the lowest level, the living room on the next and then two subsequent levels for each bedroom. Fortunately my 89 year old dad was up to it, but if you have any mobility issues and can't climb loads of straits, then you may struggle.
Excellent location close to everything you need.

United KingdomThe only niggle of the whole break was trying to negotiate the key lock in the dark when we first arrived. Once that was done then all was good.
Fantastic location and lovely, comfortable cottage. Unlike previous reviewers I appreciated the decor and homely touches (did they expect the owners to remove all cloth items? Maybe they should have worn their Hazmat suit instead). Being able to use the kitchen as a second comfortable room was also good.

United KingdomAwful creaky metal bed impossible to sleep on as a couple unless stone deaf! Slightest movement triggered creaking.After 3am attempt to sleep on the sofa on first night, ended up dragging mattress onto floor to try to get any sleep for the rest of the week. (not easy in your 70s.) This has been noted by others but not acted upon. Left early because of sleep deprivation....shame because everything else was fine.
Very clean, well provisioned and decorated cottage in ideal position. Would have given high rating were it not for the problem detailed below.
