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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomA very small point but the mirror in the bathroom is above the bath and not the wash basin.
Super property in a quiet village location but within easy reach of Malton for pubs, shops etc. The apartment itself was well equipped and very comfortable. Excellent pub restaurant below the apartment (open Wed to Sun) which served really delicious food. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Would love to stay here again!

United KingdomNothing other than perhaps a fan in the bedrooms.
Very detailed directions forwarded in advance. The apartment was very spacious and well equipped. Due to traffic and heavy rain we were much later arriving than expected. We were able to order a takeaway from the pub downstairs ‘The Blacksmith’s Arms’ the food was absolutely delicious (we ate there the night after) and the staff are lovely and friendly. My husband said it was the best steak and ale pie he’s ever eaten (and he should know, he’s eaten a lot of them over the years)

United KingdomThe mirror in the bathroom was over the bath not the sink!!
There was no breakfast. I expected some milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea. That was very disappointing as there were no shops near. It would have been good if the pub offered a breakfast of some sort. We had to drive to Malton to get a coffee and breakfast. 5 miles away!!

United KingdomIt was a good place and we'll be back, but remember its a cottage not a mansion, stairs are steep (if you have a young child who is active and won't sit down) .. Its also in a small village in the countryside and the nearby pub is the central attraction, so pay attention to when the pub is/isn't open/serving food and also stock up on essentials before you arrive because its a 20 minute+ round-trip if you forget anything ....
Near to the pub (but not so near it causes a problem) Lovely little front garden and also outdoor chair set Two decent downstairs rooms, plus kitchen 3 bedrooms and plenty of washing/shower/bath facilities given the compact size Kitchen has the essentials and more Pub food is very good and they offer a takeaway - this was a real bonus

United KingdomA wonderful location- really convenient for York and the beautiful moors. The owners apartment is a very comfortable home away from home with everything you need for a self catering experience- including a washing machine and dryer (handy when you have children). But the beds- oh so very comfortable- they deserve a credit all by themselves. I wish we could have stayed longer- we were all happy to do so. I’m recommending this place to friends and family.
