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 leisure facilities were okay, but maybe not what you might expect for such a highly rated hotel. A good number of the lockers in the men’s changing room were broken or able to be opened even when locked. There was an empty glass room next to the pool which looked as if it was just being used to store the odd bit of cleaning equipment and it made the place look a little unkept.
The hotel itself was nice and a good location. The outbuilding was very lovely, warm and nicely decorated for Christmas. The room was very comfortable and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomService was very slow in the bar area 20 minutes to get a drink . I think the spa could do with a hot tub .
Had a lovely overnight stay here , we had a room overlooking the gardens even in winter it was a nice view . Used the spa facilities which was very nice and relaxing . Ate in the restaurant Sunday dinner and had breakfast next morning . Very good . Sandsend a short walk I would definitely return again .

United KingdomAlthough the restaurant good was good it wasn’t exceptional, and we didn't think it was value for money for the evening meal. Breakfast was very good.
We were late for our spa treatment- partly our fault. We received a partial refund with no hassle.

United KingdomOur bed was uncomfortable. Large bed made up from 2 smaller beds. The join created a ridge which was a passion killer when rolling over to my husband! My side sloped down and I had to sleep nearer to ridge to get an even part of the mattress. I didn't get one good nights sleep. The quality of the food was either very good or very poor. The rib eye steak was cooked to my requirements but the quality of the meat was very poor. The Thai Crab was all batter and could taste the crab. However the pork belly and the salmon was lovely. We had a glass of wine and 2 beers and the bill came to £121 including the 10% service charge on the bill. We prefer to tip if we think the meal is good. We decided to eat out for the rest of our stay. Despite the storms, we had a lovely time and discovered several very good eating places. The White House up the road is dog friendly in the bar area and big portions of home cooked food is on offer. For a special occasion, Sneaton Castle restaurant a must and we found it cheaper and better quality than the Raithwaite. Big renovations have started so I believe this place is not available for a few months.
Spent a week with our dog in the hide. Staff were great and very helpful. House keeping even put down carpet in the room for our rescue dog who has a bad knee and problems with wood flooring. Lovely grounds but not disabled friendly especially at the front of reception which are large uneven paving stones. The Spa was lovely and swimming pool a nice temperature and has a Sauna and Steam room. A jacuzzi would have been nice but would have taken up valuable room. The lockers in the ladies changing room need attention. Bathroom lovely, big shower and bath, underfloor heating. We only ate once in the restaurant.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a little fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool but apart from that, nothing else
Fabulous hotel, very attentive staff, comfortable room. We were given a room upgrade on arrival as it was my husbands birthday. Breakfast was lovely and the spa facilities were great. Very relaxing and quiet hotel, couldn’t hear any noise from other guests. Location was nice and peaceful but within easy reach of Whitby and Sandsend.

United KingdomDecoration and furniture in room a bit beige and tired. Telly only had 6 working channels. Also no mirror near a plug. I find this in many hotels and am baffled as to how we are meant to dry our hair!!! It's a basic requirement for me.
Hotel and staff are lovely. Spa is very small only a pool, steam room. Nice breakfast. Nice relaxed hotel which I believe is undergoing a removation hopefully saying goodbye to all that beige.
