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 KingdomBest to reverse in to the Car Parking space if there's already a couple of Vehicles parked close to it, as a bit of a squeeze to get in to.
Fantastic location, beautiful Apartment with everything you could need. Exceptionally clean. Parking space too more or less outside the Apartment. Nicola is a wonderful Host. Will definitely be staying here again in the future and would highly recommend.

United KingdomNothing to report at all
The view from the lounge was wonderful at all times of the day. The fact that there was a separate room for the bedroom. It was in a great location for both the north and south beach and Italian gardens. My husband was able to have a surf. The thoughtful birthday cake and candles that Nicola left for my husband’s birthday the next day! Nicola was really responsive with communication.

United KingdomWhilst the apartment had parking and the owner provided a free parking permit. The parking was difficult and a little bit stressful at times as the space for maneuvering is very tight and restrictive. That said, parking in Scarborough is at a premium and the owner has done the best that she can with the space available to her to create free parking next to the apartment which is appreciated. For much of the available accommodation in the area does not have any parking facilities, far less free parking, as such, free awkward parking much better than no parking facilities.
The apartment is lovely and spotless clean, it is well appointed and equipped to a high standard with high quality furnishings, fitments and decor. A standard that others should follow. It put most hotels and other holiday accommodation in the area to shame. The apartment was additionally equipped with free fast Wi-Fi, and an excellent choice of free TV channel entertainment to include Sky, Netflix, Prime etc. There is also a a lovely view down to the beach and overlooking the harbour from the living room window. The entrance hall to the flat was equipped with passive light sensor which illuminated the hallway upon opening the door. A nice touch was fresh milk in the fridge upon arrival and the packet of chocolate digestives gifted by the owner. My wife and I were impressed and very pleased with what we walked into. It made our stay in Scarborough very comfortable and relaxing. 10/10.

United KingdomWe did have some difficulty in initially finding the apartment, partly due to a road closure. A simpler explanation would be: From the seafront turn towards the town at the traffic lights opposite the harbour, follow up the hill and take the 3rd left over the cobbles. Keep to the right and follow round the corner to the parking space.
Both my wife and I thought it was the cleanest, freshest and best equipped holiday apartment we had ever stayed in. It wanted for nothing and we could have arrived with just clothes and found everything we needed was there. The shower was excellent as were all other facilities, this includes the view. We assumed the tea bags were "Yorkshire tea!!"
