Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe heating in the room did not work. I contacted the property and didn’t get a response so we were a bit cold whilst in the room!
It was a lovely clean property, nice tea and coffee facilities and a shower. The bed was extremely comfy and the location was perfect for what we wanted to do in Whitby. I loved the aesthetic, the ammonite door handles were fab!

United KingdomThe furniture in the living room were a little bit worn, looked dull and dated, but not dirty? The heating were not set very well, come on in the middle of the night so wake up sweating and then cold in the morning when we get up and had to put fire on! Suppose to tell 'Alexa' to turn on/off heating but didn't work.
The location were excellent for us as we were in the Pavilion all weekend. We were all self catering, so no food were included. Some took their own food and were very pleased with all the facilities.

United KingdomParking is a nightmare, paying in advance for parking doesn’t guarantee you a parking space. They are very strict with 4pm check into the property which I really don’t understand when you have to check out at 9:30am! We were given a code from 1:30pm because it was ready but we’re not allowed in. The double room was great and in the middle of the property but the back room was soooooo noisey. Noise echoes around the courtyard and me and my son were up by 3am from the seagulls. We moved the mattresses into the lounge the second night to get some sleep. The curtains are only just hanging on and don’t stop any light coming through because they are so thin. Getting into the property was a challenge the keypad only worked sometimes. Getting out was harder as there was no door handle which must be a serious breach of health and safety. In a fire I’m not sure I could have got out. Any elderly definitely would not be able to. Alexa is also fine for people who can use it. But elderly people may struggle and it’s the only way to turn on the heating. Ideally a control over the volume would also have been good. The children above us played music so loud we knew exactly what was being heard and every word. The location is its best feature.
The property was a good size and the location was good.

United Kingdomwe didn't like the climb up 5 flights of stairs because the lift was out of action, when booking was told there was parking then realised you had to pay and as for getting in the room with the touch key pad it was a nightmare, needless to say we won't be staying again
