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 coffee stains on the walls and furniture wasn’t great. The weather was very warm too and it would have been great to have a fan in the room. The pillows were not great as they were clearly old and lumpy.
It was fit for purpose. The owner was very friendly and the bed and bathroom was clean and functional.

United KingdomWhen we booked it said bed and breakfast but there was no breakfast option. Being disabled I found it a trek having to walk to Wetherspoons every morning for breakfast . It was quite a walk and had to cross a busy main road. Also there were no comfortable chairs to sit on in room.
Owner was very helpful and friendly. Tea coffee and milk were filled up daily. Room was nice and clean

United KingdomThere was no breakfast option at the time, however when we arrived, the owner said that there should have been. I think it was a conflict with Booking.com. Car parking is not just a problem at this location but a general issue in Scarborough. The owner helped as much as she could and we ended up paying £5 per day which is not bad in Scarborough. The main problems at this location are to do with a lack of space and noise. The room is barely big enough to have a double bed and has no chairs or much storage space and the bathroom is of minimal size too. Lack of double glazing meant that traffic outside is quite loud, people who have been drinking can be heard shouting as they pass by and sea gulls calling in the morning wake you up. Also, the walls are thin so you can hear snoring next door and people walking about upstairs.
The location was good, in that it was relatively close to the town centre. Parking was not ideal but the owner really tried to help as much as she could. In fact, the owner was very approachable and incredibly quick to respond to any questions. The room was probably what I would call basic in terms of facilities. The owner did say that she had many other better rooms, which was frustrating in that we paid more for a worse room.

United KingdomBreakfast would have been nice but not at £15 pp and there are plenty of shops selling breakfasts and a Weatherspoons nearby so it wasn’t a problem.
We enjoyed the spacious bedroom and position over looking the quadrangle at the front. The room was nicely furnished and light being on the front of the building and had two big windows. Seb our host was lovely and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us.

United KingdomThe mattress needed replacing, it was far too soft, not because that was the way it was designed to be but ecause it was old - there was a big dint in one side where someone had slept. Did not sleep at all for the two says we were there.
