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.).

- • Four-Bedroom House
- • Stayed 3 nights
The we are a tall family and the sofas are tiny with very low backs. We decided to have one night in and watch a film but we all ended up sitting on the floor . I noticed in the guest book we wernt the only ones to say this.
the garden room was a real bonus and we loved sitting out there having rep diner drinks and breakfast. Location is really good short walk into town over the swing bridge, but far enough away for a peaceful retreat after days sight seeing. The Abby is 10 mins walk away and we recommend a visit to the Whitby brewery just before you get there.

We loved it all
Maggie May was an amazing accommodation. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It truly felt like a home from home and we will definitely return in the future. We loved the sun house, decking and garden furniture too. It was in a quiet location but still within walking distance of the centre of Whitby. Communication with the owner was great too. Highly recommend

There was nothing we didn't like.
Maggie May was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed, and the location was perfect, just a little stroll, and you were in town. At the top end of Green Lane, there is an amazing view of the Abbey.

The lounge was comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped with cooker, hob, microwave, coffee machine etc. & had every utensil imaginable. The standard of all facilities were excellent. Comfortable beds & good quality pillows & bedding. Parking space available right in front of house (absolute advantage in Whitby!) The host was particularly helpful & in touch before the stay to answer various queries.

Bit of a rush this morning when cleaners arrived at 9am as I had agreed a 10am departure so all a bit manic trying to finish breakfast, wash up, finish packing and vacate
Loved the location and the accommodation. We were a part of 6 adults here for the weekend and it was just perfect, lovely and clean, everything we needed and a beautiful garden to relax in.
