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 KingdomFlorence Guest House is 3-4 minutes walk from the railway/bus station. The welcome from Pete and Amanda was very friendly. My room on the top floor with separate bathroom which was fine. Very clean and comfortable and most important for me, very quiet. Good tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was superb. Full English with a smaller version also available. Good selection of cereals, preserves, yoghurts and fresh fruit. Amanda is a super chef ably assisted by Pete as waiter despite his Basil Brush jokes. All in all an excellent B&B.

United KingdomBreakfast was fresh and hot with just the right amount of choice. Nothing was too much trouble. A lovely outlook over the park from the bright & stylish breakfast room. Our room was the attic room which was tastefully decorated and had a very comfy mattress and bedding. Our bathroom was next door but as we had the top floor to ourselves, this wasn't a problem. The little extra touches made it feel like the B &B was really cared for, toiletries, umbrellas to use, mints, little pockets of freshness in the wardrobe an electric fan if you got to warm, complimentary tea, coffee, milk, sugar biscuits...of which you could get more, if needed, from the breakfast room. Pete, Amanda and Cooper the dog were so friendly and accomodating. Parking was just up the road, make sure you book it before you go. Pete takes you to the parking so youre not to flustered about where youre going. The B &B is right in the centre so a little walk and you're in the midst of everything. In all, this was a very pleasant stay in the quaint town of Whitby and we would definitely recommend The Florence Guest House to anyone.
