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 KingdomExceptionally clean and only a very short walk from the town but also in a quiet location. The host was fantastic and allowed us to amend our itinerary at short notice as we’d booked a sea fishing trip. Breakfast was lovely with a wide variety of available food I would recommend this venue to anyone thinking of visiting the charming town of Whitby

United KingdomWe had the most wonderful relaxing stay and felt so well taken care of. The room was clean and beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. Our trip got off to a rocky start when we broke down on our way, and I was worried about checking in late, but Kerry was very reassuring and gave me clear instructions for parking and checking in. The guesthouse is so close to all the sights and attractions. You really couldn't ask for a better location.

United KingdomI loved all of it! Warm, friendly hosts, clean, superbly comfortable accommodation, delicious breakfast, great location! Seriously, what's not to love?
Great location, so near the beach and not far from the town centre! Loved the room - it was like a bedsit, self-contained, very secure. I felt safe - a big plus as travelling solo and the bed was so comfortable! Kerry and Jason make you feel so welcome and they cannot do enough for you. Best full English that I have ever had - not swimming in grease, which I loved. Please visit this outstanding establishment, you won't be disappointed! P.S Thank you both, I will be back!

United KingdomI genuinely couldn't fault a thing.
The breakfast was excellent. Catered brilliantly regarding my likes/dislikes so that very little or no waste was left by myself. Full range of cereals, fruits, hot and cold drinks available. The bed was unbelievably comfy. The best 2 nights' sleep I've had in a very long time. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They are more than happy to help the guests out in any way that they possibly can. In my case, looking after my luggage for me after I'd checked out until I was due to catch my bus back to Leeds later in the afternoon.
