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 negative to say. Maybe blankets in the bedrooms for the colder months as it was a tiny bit chilly when the heating went off in the night.
Very clean and in a great location. Lovely owners that were very attentive. Lots of little touches like plenty of towels and nice coffee and tea to be had! The best bakery around the corner as well!!

United KingdomPerfectly positioned to explore all of Scarborough, with lots of nearby amenities. Everything seems to have been catered for, from the obvious bedding and towels etc, to family games and books, and the owners regularly keep in touch to ensure your stay is a good one. We stayed in 2022, and were so impressed we booked again for 2023; it was good to see that even a year on the house is still as immaculately clean and well kept.

United KingdomThe only thing we agreed was that we wish there was more than one key as there were 6 of us and a few more bins to put rubbish in on the upper floors. But other than that, there wasn't anything we didn't like :)
It was a lovely, comfortable stay and every member in our party enjoyed the house and all of its facilities. I don't even think we had enough time to appreciate everything Durham House had to offer. There were lots of amenities nearby (pub, shops, places to eat), and we loved staying in on our 2nd night to play some competitive games of Yahtzee 😂 A wonderful stay, definitely worth the money and we would definitely visit Scarborough again just to stay here. Also a quick shout out to Shaun & Ruth who were very attentive during our stay and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was okay and answer any questions we had. Thank you so much.

United KingdomThe length of our stay so we've booked for longer next year!
There's never anything to complain about Durham House. Stayed with my family for the past 2 years and now booked for next year just as we left the house! Perfect location for so many attractions, all kinds of shops on the doorstep and the town centre super close too! The house its self is immaculate, has literally everything you need. The hosts are amazing too, always go above and beyond and are super helpful if they're ever needed.
