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 KingdomThe cottage was difficult to find - we had to ask for directions at a nearby hotel, as we couldn't spot where we needed to go from in our car. There was a Nespresso coffee machine provided, along with several different coffee pods, but the coffee produced wasn't very nice: it looked like the machine needed a good clean.
The cottage was in a nice quiet area despite being close to the centre of Whitby. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

United KingdomLovely house, just needed a few small things sorting. Arrived to a broken Nespresso machine, the toilet seat was very loose & slid to one side when sat on, the ensuite shower was very slow draining & maybe needed drain cleaner down it & the join between the wooden flooring & carpeted area downstairs needed re-doing. The map wasn't accurate showing the property in Bagdale Hall itself but it was up past the back lane & had to get out to walk & look for the house, but other that that a great stay!
Lovely clean, modern, tidy house. Great location with parking for 1 car.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like a minor grumble we couldn’t fathom the coffee machine, that was probably down to user error.
The location was ideal & onsite parking a rarity in Whitby. The property was a nice size and would comfortably accommodate 5 although only 3 of us on this occasion. It was clean comfortable & modern.

United KingdomIt was difficult to locate as it is tucked away, and there is no sign to help you discover it.
The property was clean and had everything we needed (except a chopping board and potato peeler). The location was perfect and extremely close to Whitby centre, a stones throw from the rail and bus stations if you wanted to explore further afield. Will definitely go back, but for a longer break next time, 2 nights wasn't enough.

United KingdomMy only criticism is that there were no bins in the bathrooms or bedrooms. And there were no toilet roll holders in any of the bathrooms. It would be helpful with better instructions on how to find the cottage. We luckily got help from the staff at the hall.
This a lovely place to stay. Very close to the station and only a short walk to the sea front and town. It is very well equipped and clean with comfortable beds and furniture. I would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay again. It isn't easy to find you need to drive up the side road past the hall towards the hospital and you will see a large black metal gate the cottage is in there hidden from view.

United KingdomDespite comments in previous reviews saying it just needs some finishing touches to rate it excellent, few changes have been made...a few pictures on the wall, a mirror downstairs, coat hooks on bedroom doors etc. It is a little stark. An ashtray is provided outside but hasn't been emptied or cleaned on either of our visits. The noise from the commercial facility next door can't be helped but does have a negative impact.
Really handy for the town centre, and good to have off-street parking. The property has quality equipment, and the new sofas are an improvement. It's good to have a little outdoor seating area.

United KingdomSome of the facilities / amenities weren’t suitable for 5 - sofas have been upgraded since pictures were taken so now have 6 seats but only 4 outside seats, 4 seats at the kitchen table (however there is a breakfast bar right next to it with 2 additional seats) and 4 forks.
Amazing location - couple of minutes walk to the front, property is setup with everything that you could need.

United KingdomEn suite shower, pressure was very poor, either freezing or literally scalding hot and shower tray showed signs of a blockage. Water wouldn’t drain effectively. Sofas need to be steam cleaned or replaced, to be fair we always take our own throws with us, been caught out with this before, so we used our throws when sitting on the sofas. Communication needs updating to reflect changes, outside bins are not located in position suggested, they have. Even moved from Lobster Hall to Bagdale Hall car park.
Excellent location, quiet but within easy reach. Facilities were great, beds were really comfy.

United KingdomWe are a returning party of 5 adults. Lovely little cottage but we were disappointed that none of the suggestions we made last year had been done. As a party of 5 adults additional seating is essential in the living and dining area. Only 2 x2 seater settees and 4 dining chairs. No hanging space in the second double bedroom. No hooks in the bathrooms to hang damp towels. No mirror in the en suite bathroom. Also the front gate can be difficult to open and would benefit from a sign stating that they were for the cottage. Unable to empty the Bins as they not where stated.
Great little cottage in a central location with onsite parking.

United KingdomSome of the decor could do with a bit of TLC ie floor boards move in the kitchen which can be a trip hazard, slight smell of damp in the bathroom upstairs when we first arrived. Also property has no sign outside or anything to give you an inclination of what your looking for when arriving. Feel a small sign on the wall would be very helpful as we spent about 15 mins driving round a busy area trying to find it before contact the management company.
The house is in a brilliant location, very centrally located near the bus station. Perfect for my mum who has copd and therefore can struggle to walk long distances. Property has everything you need for your stay. Managed to also park 2 cars at the property which was an added bonus. Walk in centre/ hospital right next door which was also useful when one of our party got tonsillitis during our stay.

United KingdomWe could not get the tv to work but as we could stream the programs we wanted to watch it didn't matter. The ensuite shower room could have done with a mirror over the sink a shelve to put tooth brush toothpaste etc and a towel rail to put damp towels on.
The property was clean and tidy. There was plenty of room for us all. The facilities were excellent. There were plenty of glasses cups plates etc.
