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 really, although the sofa wasn't very comfortable.
A lovely modern apartment on the top floor of the building (Sparrows Nest). The facilities were brilliant, and allowed me to relax whilst working locally and within the apartment overnight. The Wi-Fi was fast and allowed seamless connectivity for all my devices. The property was also well equiped and had virtually anything I needed, and I will certainly be back as I carry out more work in the local area in the New Year.

United KingdomA much better alternative to a hotel for a 2 night stay. We were in Swann Sanctuary. Spotlessly clean, well appointed, and in a fabulous location. We had no trouble finding a space on the free on-street parking. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

United KingdomOn the first night there was a lot of noise from the apartment above. Due to the age of the property there is little soundproofing, however the noise was not the fault of the host, rather other inconsiderate guests.
Great location, and the apartment was fabulous, done to a really high standard, and well equipped. Hosts were great and paid attention to little details. Highly recommend, and would stay again.

United KingdomThe only thing we felt could be improved would be improving the limited space for hanging clothes. There is a space/open cupboard at the side of the bathroom with a rail to hang clothes but only enough room for approx 5 hangers. The rest of the space has a "hanging/velcro shelving" detail. We felt it would have been better without this giving the full use of the rail and putting a couple of shelves underneath.
Perfect location for beach and bars. Superbly appointed apartment - lots of thought has gone into the decor, furniture and comfort. Room was situated on the ground floor at the rear of the building. Zoned into different areas giving it a spacious feel. Small outside seating area available. Kitchen area had everything you could wish for - even a washing machine! Beautifully matching crockery and glasses. Bedding and towels were of excellent quality. The Nespresso machine another nice touch. Bathroom was excellent - forceful shower over the bath and no issue with hot water. We had an initial issue with the central heating and Nassar was available immediately on the phone and was there within the hour - organising a plumber who arrived and everything fixed.

United KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
The location at Saltburn by the Sea is now my favourite place in North Yorkshire - utterly beautiful. The apartment with Black Pearl is self-catering, which is perfect for occasional meals at home, especially with there being a convenient supermarket just around the corner. Black Pearl apartments are wonderful, discreet, and always communicative via email. The apartment had a massive comfortable bed, a large bath with rainwater style shower, and a well appointed kitchen with all the utensils you could need. The apartment was clean, wonderfully located next to the coast, and the hosts, whilst leaving one to enjoy the privacy of one's holiday home, were always on hand, via email or phone, regarding any queries or advice. In short, I highly recommend Black Pearl apartments. So much so, I shall definitely be returning there on my next visit to Saltburn. Thank you.

United KingdomThe bathroom sink was really small, couldn’t wash face. No full length mirror, made it difficult when getting dressed to see outfit. TV too high up If you want a lay in your not going to get it if you are on the ground floor as you can hear every movement from the guests upstairs, unfortunately ours were particularly loud banging about at 7am for over an hour.
Great location couple minutes walk from sea front and local shops/bars. Loved the decor

United KingdomI stayed in the Shipwreck Cove apartment on the ground floor. This was one of the nicest places I've stayed in! The apartment was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Lots of nice touches here and there and clearly attention had been given to the way the apartment is kitted out. All my interactions with staff were friendly and they were quick to respond. Unfortunately (for me) I was staying there for a work visit so wasn't able to make the most of the location (which is very good). I'd be more than happy to stay again for a leisure visit and would happily recommend Black Pearl. Thanks!

The location of the apartment was superb, literally just a few minutes walk to the beach. The apartment was beautifully decorated and clearly the detail was fantastic. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was lovely that there tea, coffee etc had been provided. This meant that I could have a cup of tea as soon as I arrived.

United KingdomThe parking was probably the only issue, but not a major thing
We spent 5 nights in the Swann suite and enjoyed every minute of our stay, Saltburn was such a fantastic place to base ourselves to travel around and take in some of the beautiful and breathtaking scenery with the knowledge we were going back to a home from home afterwards, we ate out at some great places and were so lucky with the weather, even a bit of a tan in September! Would highly recommend!
