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 KingdomThe bed was a little on the small side (double) for a couple & kitchen a little small. But given it’s a cottage - understandable. This wouldn’t stop me staying again but if you’re looking to cook for the evening etc might find it a squeeze!
Great Location, lovely views, clean & modern yet still maintaining cottage charm. Host was very nice & kind letting us stay a little longer on checkout. Loved the log burner and would certainly stay again.

United StatesA little more storage for clothes would be good.
Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Very close to Helmsley for shopping, restaurants etc. Very peaceful. The cottage is very comfortable with good beds and comfy sofa. Nice, modern decor throughout. Lots of attention to detail. Dave was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely come back here.

United KingdomThere was nothing that could be improved upon. Everything was perfect - we would definitely go there again!
The property was very clean and situated in a beautiful part of the UK. The owners live on site so if there had been any problems (which there weren't), they could sort it quickly. There was no pressure to leave on time - in fact, the one owner told us we could have an extra half hour!

United KingdomI think it would be even better if you could get in the cottage earlier. 4pm is late. We then had to leave property by 9.30am which is early. The owner did in fact say we could leave a little earlier as their cleaner was going to be late-so that was good.
Decor in cottage was lovely. Owner came to tell us about the heating and log burner. Scenery was gorgeous.

United KingdomI couldn't fault anything!
Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. It was well equipped, everything was super clean and fresh. Ample parking space and a lovely, big green area to the side of the cottages with picnic benches. Helmsley is a 5 minute drive away for essential shopping, supermarkets are about 25 minutes but easy to get to (based on me going to Morrisons!) A fantastic base to explore the area around and further afield as it's well connected to main roads just outside of the village. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again. Our little boy particularly loved the outdoor toys that were kindly left out by the owners for all the kids to enjoy. It was a nice touch that set the tone for our stay :)

United KingdomKitchen knives!!
Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts who made our stay a real pleasure and one we will repeat; they changed the cooking knives in the kitchen when we pointed out the ones in the cottage were seriously blunt. It was a perfect size for us but It would be pretty tight for four adults as we needed to use the spare bedroom to store our clothes; maybe one or two young children would be ok. Wonderful outlook from the lounge and plenty of excellent pubs and restaurants of all types and prices within a short distance but none in walking distance. We spent our time in and around the national park, great scenery and walks but it is also in easy reach of York, Harrogate and Scarborough.

United KingdomNothing not to like
The location was idyllic with lovely country views and giving a truly rural feel. The interior of the Cottage was immaculately presented with all essentials provided for a self catering holiday. The cottage provides an ideal base for exploring by car or on foot lots of fantastic walks. The hosts Dave and Helen were very helpful in all communications .. recommended places to eat, walks, taxis nothing too much trouble. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
