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.).

Well equipped, quality of the property and very clean. Bonus with two bathrooms and separate staircases to each bedroom as we had friends staying one night. Everything there we could need. Very comfortable beds. Location great for the North Yorkshire coast. Two good pubs in the village ( West and East Ayton) One of the best cottages we have stayed in and we have stayed in a lot.

United KingdomThe only things I would say that could be improved on are: Pan stand/trivet for hot items from the cooker. Bath sheets rather than bath towels. Quality good but far too small. A choice of duvet weight. It is a 13.5 tog. Too hot when the weather is 26 degrees!! More toilet rolls. Never enough wherever you go. Larger wine glasses. Biggest size would only fit a sherry in it!! Smell of dampness in twin en-suite. Think its due to having a bath and loose shower head but cant fit a screen or curtain due to sloping ceiling and velux.
A lovely cottage, two knocked into one. Large kitchen diner with stairs to twin room with en-suite. Living room has stairs to double room with en-suite. Utility room with washer, dryer, freezer, iron, ironing board and highchair. Basic needs for crockery, cutlery, pans etc are met. All good quality. Welcome tray with a few tea bags, coffee, biscuits and longlife milk in the fridge. Only salt, pepper, vinegar and tin foil are supplied. You will have to take or buy everything else. All areas are clean and well maintained. The car parking space is across the front windows. Any other cars have to use the road before you turn onto the lane and then into a courtyard area. The rear area is very small. We sat on the bench at the front in the evening and chatted with the neighbours. This was a base for travelling to the coast and surrounding areas so we didnt go into the village at all. Lovely stay that came to an end too quickly. Some constructive criticisms are below, none of which detracted from the property or stay, merely suggestions of what may improve the customer experience.

Location... Garth cottage is just brilliantly tucked away in a little shared hidden courtyard... With a lovely riverside walk only seconds away.... & a welcoming country pub at the end of the lane only a few hundred yards away.... A great location to explore the wonderful North Yorkshire coast & only 15 mins in the car to Scarborough sea front. Spacious enough for a group of 4 adults or family of up to 4... & with most things you'd typically enjoy at home.

United KingdomInternet connection on the TV was sometimes abit slow. Also it says on the website that there is no capacity for extra beds or cots yet says children of any age welcome. Theres plenty of room in the childrens bedroom to fit a travel cot. Maybe the hosts could be abit more clear of what they mean by this.
Clean and tidy , had everything we need, beds are comfortable and in a peaceful area.

United KingdomHad requested an early check in at time of booking. Host advised they would confirm nearer the time. Text again on day of arrival to confirm if this was possible due to poor weather, to receive no response until 10pm that night. Only 1 bin bag for 4 adults and no instructions regarding recycling (what is accepted etc) and only 1 toilet roll per bathroom. Beds were very uncomfortable, double bed definitely needs a new mattress as you roll into the middle and the bed creaks terribly.
Lovely cottage and property, ideal small fenced garden for dogs to nip out. Lovely layout and good amenities.
