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 KingdomLeaving! Stairs a bit steep to top floor, felt it I'm my knees first time but it's ok...just flagging.
3rd attempt at review! Warm welcome, Debbie & Jason are fab hosts. Room had everything you could want from range of teas etc, home baked treats to a REAL fridge with chilled (real )milk & bottled water. Bi folding mirrored wardrobe doors near plug point- ideal for hairstyling! Windows open..perfect, bathroom sleek,modern,large shower, lovely white fluffy towels, lots of toiletries. Breakfast out of this world,lots of choice, fresh coffee... But you won't want to eat again all day. I've a good appetite but left plenty on my plate and still wasn't hungry all day / night. They are lovely people, fab hosts who really know the area, best places, walks etc. the furry book in bedroom is encyclopaedic, put together with the same care they treat their guests Garden so tranquil and pretty for a quiet read/ relax.

United KingdomWe can’t think of anything we didn’t like, if we are back in Scarborough we would certainly return.
We were made very welcome from the moment of arrival, Debbie served us tea and home made cake and Jason introduced himself, both made it clear they were there to help with any problems/questions. Our room was very comfortable and clean, and more cake in the room for us along with a large selection of tea/coffee, also fresh milk and bottled water in the fridge We stayed four nights, there was a notice in the shower room asking guests to reuse towels, which we did, they were replaced after two uses without being asked, which was nice. The breakfasts were excellent, and a selection that is sure to suit anyone! Perfect poached eggs every day 👍 A parking pass was provided which meant we didn’t have to fear the parking wardens. The location is very good, a short walk to a couple of parks and North Bay.

Firstly, the warm welcome we received by the proprietors. They are nice, genuine, kind and friendly people.. In my experience I've never received such a wonderful reception from anywhere else. It quickly dawned on us that we had made the correct choice. Room was comfortable and warm with excellent amenities..kettle, coffee, tea, a tv, dvd's and a dressing table with chair. All with a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was fantastic..plentiful and delicious with amazing service. Location was fine for us..accessible to public transport and walking distance to the town itself.

Beautiful homely, cosy place. Hosts are fabulous, Debbie and Jason thank you, our stay was perfect. You feel right at home from first arrival, nothing is too much trouble, breakfast is amazing perfectly cooked and plenty to choose from. I’ve never seen such a vast array of choice! Debbie knows so much about the area, what’s on, where to go, places to eat. We loved the morning quizzes, such a laugh! Would recommend and we’re definitely going back.

United KingdomEverything was fabulous.
Yorkshire hospitality at its finest! On arrival we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes by Debbie and Jason. We were offered a pot of tea and freshly baked cakes, then given a comprehensive guide to all things Kensington Guest House and Scarborough (a helpful tourist pack up is also provided in all rooms). The facilities and location were excellent, with both North and South Bay only a 10-20min walk away. We felt thoroughly looked after and well fed, the breakfasts here are fit for a King and Queen! Would love to one day go back. Highly recommend!
