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 shared entrance is looking a tad unwelcoming.
The location was great: close to all that Whitby has to offer, including the beach which is dog friendly for 7 months of the year. It was very quiet, apart from the seagulls in the early hours. The parking permit was very welcome as we could leave the car just a short way up the street.

Irelandstates on booking that checkout is 10 but the emails received from host & stay stated 12. we were delighted about the 12 checkout as i had a late flight home but decided to triple check - we were told nope, it’s 10…then received another email about 12. We would of really appreciated the later checkout as it had been raining that day & there was nowhere to leave our bags so had to lug those around for the day.
beautiful property with everything near by, felt like our own little home for the weekend. I will definitely come back.

United KingdomThe apartment could do with more of a deep clean. Huge cobwebs in the bedroom. Layers of dust on the beams. This is not a big job so it would be good to see it completed. Two tea bags and two coffee capsules. (One of which had already been used) is not very substantial. As was one shower gel and one shampoo.
The location of the apartment is ideal, view of the abbey and view of the sea and some lovely places to eat and drink on Skinner street. The interior of the apartment is also very stylish.

United KingdomI found the property not very well kitted out as kitchen wise. One of the saucepans had food burnt on to the bottom of it. Also in the cupboard l cut my finger on a broken item (think it was a vase)

Modern property , perfectly placed to reach heart of Whitby. Very comfy bed and hot shower. The view form the apartment window was beautiful

United KingdomThe bathroom door was difficult to manoeuvre. Ended up leaving it open wide enough to squeeze through, and the other person going to the sitting room while we used the toilet. Door lock to the Loft itself was unpredictable.

United KingdomThis property has so much potential, but some of the small details that make a big difference have been missed. The high wooden beams hadn’t been dusted, and the cream rug in the living room is grubby. There are photo frames on the wall without pictures in them- with these things attended to, it could be a perfect space.
The location was great, and the view from the top window is amazing. It’s a really cosy space, especially in the evening.

United KingdomAnnoying sliding bathroom door and auto bathroom light that kept turning on automatically through the night. Living room on the cold side and bedroom hotter than the sun when you could get it to turn on. oil the doors - they creak terribly but all teething problems I guess

United KingdomPillows/bedding could have been comfier and cosier furnishings and towels which I imagine over time the hosts would invest in. Mainly I think the whole apartment needs a regular dust and deep clean and invest in a guest Hoover as guests with dogs like to hoover up after themselves and every self catering property we have stayed at throughout the UK has always had a Hoover. Whoever is in charge of the amount of emails needs to reconsider the communications as I don’t want to be pestered as often as the emails came and just to emphasise we really enjoyed our hassle free beautiful view stay of the apartment, but again if the hosts read this, thorough and better cleaning needs to be implemented as your apartment isn’t being showcased to its absolute best!
Amazing views from the arched window with views of the abbey and all windows around the loft property were exceptional! Modern layout and furnishings and equipped with most things you would need for a break away. It is worth staying for views of the estuary, harbour and cliff tops and felt a real treat to be spoilt with that view.

United KingdomThere were a few area that weren't quite finished off which in such a beautiful place was a shame. Eg where the doors had been shaved the edge was still unfinished, pictures frames with no picture and marks on the walls. Generally it was very clean but cobwebs were starting to form on the beams and the bedside tablet was dusty. What did annoy me was all the emails with rules, it made me worry instead of being able to relax. I understand not everyone treats places with the respect they should but should everyone be punished? Also a lot of the automated email were badly timed and didn't make sense.
Beautiful place, modern and beautiful views. The owners had done a very good job renovating, the style was modern but not boring.

United KingdomWe got lots of automated emails about 'verifying our identity' which were a bit confusing (as we'd verified ourselves upon booking). We also got multiple emails about the check out process even a few days after leaving.
The location and views were excellent. We stayed for our wedding and it was a great base for everything we needed to do in Whitby. The place was well equipped and comfortable. There was a nice kitchen area with everything you need. They'd left 4 days of parking tickets out for us (which unfortunately we only spotted when leaving).
