How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It was fine for us but worth noting that it's an old, character property and the stairs are quite steep, plus it's a way up to the top floor - worth thinking about for those with mobility issues.
Wonderful stay, great location. Owners were very accommodating to our last-minute booking and then for extending our stay. Close to South Bay and the wonderful market hall (highly recommend for fruit, veg, bread and meat, and lovely meat pies). Also only about a 15 minute walk over to the North Bay. We cooked in quite a bit and had all the pots, pans and utensils we needed. Highly recommend and would chose to stay again.

Getting the hang of an induction hob, was it me? Maybe. Slight issues with plumbing in the property, but resolved immediately - theres a theme - the public Toilets in Scarborough are limited, 40p or 50p tho rigged up for contact less 🤔 . Lots of shops insist on cash, be prepared.
Parking permit wonderful, 2nd toilet a bonus. Ideal base to see all that Scarborough has to offer. You're situated in South beach area, getting to North beach is easy too - it can be flat and long (around costal path to catch the dolphins early) or 10-15 ,mins over the top. Bedrooms are spacious and bedding comfortable. Bathroom huge great as utility,drying space. Be prepared for steep climbs and that's not just the stairs in the property. Cobbled paths around the town so good walking shoes are ideal companions. The property has everything you need for a relaxed time away.

Nothing, everything was perfect. The only thing was the weather! Not a hot and sunny Scarborough but that didn't stop us from having fun.
Very homely house, everything you could wish for. The location was perfect for the town centre and the beach, a nice quiet street. I spoke to Emma prior to the visit and she was so helpful and friendly and sent us a message during our stay, nothing was too much trouble, thanks for making happy memories for my foster son and granddaughter, we will be back xx

The bathroom and toilet were on the second floor with narrow steep stairs. No problem for us but could be for visitors who do not expect it.
The self-catering accommodation was in an ideal location for the seafront, the market and other aspects of the town. The facilities were very good.

Parking is an issue. we couldnt get close which made arriving and departing an issue, especially with so much stuff for our kids to carry. I appreciate the owner can’t do much about this though. I also thought the kitchen lacked a few basic items like oven gloves, and oven ware. Also, there was a little too much furniture that it gets in the way! Only small issues though, and I write them so the owner is aware and can address them easily. Overall a lovely stay.
Location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the seafront. Very clean and comfortable, lovey outdoor space. Handy to have laundry facilities.
