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 KingdomAs we visited in August and had lovely weather it was warm in the room at night and we had to sleep with the window open. This meant we were subject to noise of the seagulls at random periods during the night and early morning. And very early one morning what sounded like a recycling collection down the back street which went on for some time. Obviously these are outside the control of the guest house and the seagulls have been a problem at all the places we have stopped previously stopped at in Whitby. Is this may be a problem for you I recommend you stop outside of town or pay extra for an air condition room somewhere.
Very well presented guesthouse in an excellent location, a minute from the shops, 5 minutes walk from west cliffe or down to the habour. The room was very nice with good facilities, the ensuite was a little cramped but typical of any guest house in this price range. We were able to street park a short walk from the venue and it was good value at £5 for two nights using a permit from the venue. The breakfast was hot, fresh and tasty as good as any we've had. We will definitely use again when we return to Whitby.

United KingdomParking- difficult to get parked outside the property, and you may have to park on a different street. This is not the fault of the owners, the parking regulations are set by the local authority. But you don’t have to pay to park, as you would if you were visiting. You are given parking cards to cover the duration of the stay. You can also easily drop off your luggage, before finding a parking spot.
Room was large and very well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Tastefully decorated in a more up to date style. Cosy breakfast room, decorated with music memorabilia. Very good breakfast, with juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, and of course full English. Kerry and Jason were very welcoming and friendly.
