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.).

The single room I had was tight for space and the toilet and shower were separate across the corridor but no one else has access to it during your stay and is only applicable to the single room.
The hosts Julia and Paul were very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The bed was very comfortable.

There was nothing we did not like about the Guest House. It was perfect.
We loved the location. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Our Hosts Julia and Paul were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us during our stay. Breakfast was great and nothing was a bother. Covid restrictions applied and tables at breakfast were well spread out. First time I have stayed in Whitby and will definitely be back and will be back to stay at the Glenora House ❤

Nothing.
Julia, the owner was really friendly and made me feel very welcome. My single room was spotless and comfortable. It was not en suite but I had the sole use of a bathroom just across the landing. I was even provided with a dressing gown which was a nice touch. Breakfast was excellent.Overall it was great value for money and I would certainly stay again.

If I had a niggle the only one would be powder scrambled eggs. Would have preferred real eggs but this was only my preference and dis not spoil my stay.

There was nothing not to like about my stay at Glenora.
The owners were very welcoming and friendly. They were happy to chat and give information and advice about local attractions. The room was clean and comfortable with lovely facilities available (kettle, tea, coffee, biscuits, bottle of water, towel, map of area, WiFi, TV with Netflix). The breakfast was amazing. I had cooked breakfast both mornings and the quality of the products used was superb, plus everything was cooked to perfection. Parking was available in front of Glenora and the location of the property in relation to accessing Whitby was very convenient. I am looking forward to returning to Whitby and I will try to book the Glenora again.
