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 Kingdom1 small suggestion something in the shower (shelf ) for soap ,flannel. Being bit older I would probably book a appointment on lower floor due to steps.
The accommodation was immaculate, all furnishing was luxurious, excellent sleep and some lovely little extras 100% satisfied.

Perfect location, such a short, walkable distance to everything - 2 minutes over the road from the Pavilion which was great as we’d visited for the Scooter Rally! The apartment was beautifully decorated and spotless throughout, left lovely touches like milk & a bottle of Prosecco, we all felt that it was an absolute steal for the price, a real hidden gem. Beautiful sea view from both the bedroom windows & the living room / kitchen overlook a church. We would 100% stay here again if we came back to Whitby, thank you for such a lovely stay! 🤍

United KingdomI have no problem with the property at all, but felt that the check-out time of 9:30 was a little on the early side, especially when it's requested that the beds are stripped. Unfortunately, we left on a Sunday and were a bit idle as we had to wait for most things in the town to open (of course, no fault of anyone's, just an unfortunate situation)
I thought the property was lovely, nicely kept/decorated with a comfortable amount of space and all the facilities, as well as a couple of generous additions (biscuits, milk and a cheeky bottle of wine!) The location was ideal as it was such a short walk to the beach and a short walk into town. The carpark nextdoor was a massive relief as well and wonderful that a parking permit was obtainable at the property!

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment in a quiet location but not too far from Whitby centre. The owners have put in a great deal of effort to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay - the welcome pack of milk, Prosecco and biscuits etc. was especially appreciated after a long journey. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend Stowaways.

United KingdomThe shared stairwell isn't great, it would benefit from being decorated and the stair carpet replacing, as it lets the apartment down and doesn't give the best first impression. The apartment isn't suitable for anyone who struggles with stairs, but we we aware of this before we booked and it didn't affect our stay.
We loved the location, and the apartment which had everything we needed. The bedrooms have sea views and we liked the fact that you could open the windows. The apartment was lovely and clean and there were nice touches. Parking wasn't an issue as we staying 'out of season' and there was a car park behind the flat. Overall we had a great stay and we would stay again.
