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 KingdomEvery year we hope the mattress will have been upgraded. Sadly we don’t find it very comfortable and it ‘twangs’ as you move… and the bottom sheet was very bobbly and pilled which didn’t feel very nice. Everything else was fine. We just didn’t sleep very well.
Excellent location and lovely hosts. The improvements each year are much appreciated. The cottage had everything we needed. Nicely decorated and the bathroom is much improved. Nice to have Wi-Fi and a parking permit for the car park.

United KingdomThe bathroom looks new and is very clean. However the shower is impossible to get to an acceptable temperature. It was either too hot or too cold. Perhaps get someone to look at it as it looks new.

United KingdomMeals / Restaurants. The Royal George, as we were travelling over 200 miles, I tried to book table for 5 for two nights. No they said we only take walk in's. So walked in all empty tables had reserved Table markers on? Went to Cod and Lobster. Went back to Royal George, we were a group of 5 having our last night so we had a few shorts. First round £18, second round £28, difference was a Run and coke rather than a coke. Third Round £30 same round? Questioned bar staff and they said sorry we forgot to charge for the mixers last time! Asked to see the previous tab,"sorry can't do this on our till.

United KingdomHeating very unpredictable - controlled by the owner on an app - guests can only choose whether the electric radiators in the property are on or off, and 'on' was sometimes red hot or sometimes cold with no apparent logic! Some road noise during the night from vehicles going over the cobbled street outside.
Lovely little house - very nicely decorated and furnished with modern stylish bathroom and well appointed kitchen. Log burner was a bonus on a chilly evening! Ideally located for access to Staithes harbour and shops.

United KingdomHardly anything to be unhappy about. The shower is effected by low water pressure but still Ok. Not a problem for us but the parking 10 mins walk up a very steep hill could be better explained in the listing (though it's possible to park for a short time to unload right outside)
Great location 10 mins walk from the harbour. Superbly equipped kitchen. Plenty of storage space. Nice enclosed court yard at the back. Plenty of seating and nice dining area. Next-door to a lovely Delhi and yards away to the nearest pub. Staithes is a lovely place to explore.

United KingdomLounge gloomy and chilly. Lighting poor, outside area not in the sun. Second bedroom awkward sockets, no bedside light, beds soft. Water dangerously hot. We were both a bit under the weather so may have influenced our slightly negative review. We left a day early
Quite spacious, nice bathroom, good location, good to have parking but quite a walk away. Main bedroom nice.

United KingdomThe location is great, right in the middle of the town. The rooms all good, maybe kitchen could do with some improvements like the oven which is a bit worse for wear. The kids were happy with their bedrooms on the top floor and the double room was great. The log burner was lovely - could have done with some heating being on as it was a bit chilly and I don’t think we weren’t meant to touch any thermostats. A lovely stay, thank you!
