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 KingdomNothing at all. It was great value for money.
The apartment is in a beautiful and picturesque location, very peaceful and quiet. The property is part of a small group of cottages with a little courtyard and horses in the adjoining field. It’s only a short drive to Whitby where we visited during the day and went out to eat in the evening. We found the location to be perfect. It’s furnished and decorated to a very high standard and the photos don’t do it justice. It was lovely and warm and we were very comfortable. The directions and information from the hosts was spot on and there’s a handy information folder too. We met the housekeeper in the morning and she was very friendly and happy, always a good sign imo. We really enjoyed our night in Granny’s Attic and would love to stay again if we are in the area.

United KingdomThe check out time is a little early, which doesn't bother us too much as we like to be up and out exploring but some may prefer to stay an extra hour for a nice lay-in, especially since the check in isn't until 4pm, 11am would be perfect.
Beautiful room, we were very happily surprised by the facilities, it had everything you need! Everything is very good quality and well thought out! Friendly & helpful host who doesn't intrude but let's you know they are there.

United KingdomNothing
Can’t rate this place highly enough. It has absolutely everything you could need for your stay, All of the facilities are high quality, from the TV and shower, down to the tea and coffee. The owners have put some real thought into every element of this place to ensure it exceeds your expectation’s and have not skimped on anything. Most importantly I was astounded at how clean the apartment was. I am an ex executive head housekeeper who now runs a cleaning business, I am trained to find dirt but I genuinely couldn’t find a spec of dust or dirt in the entire apartment, it was immaculate, almost as if brand new. We stayed in the granny’s attic but the other apartments looked equally as lovely and we will certainly be booking again in future. It is a very picturesque place with lovely grounds and a safe and spacious car park. I would not hesistate to recommend this apartment or any others at cliff house farm. You will be well looked after by the lovely hosts. Oh and to top it all off, there is even a dog shower outside for anyone with pets where they provide dog shampoo and an apron! That sums up just how thoughtful these hosts are.

United KingdomNothing to note was just that bit too small for a couple other than for a couple of nights.
Location and setting was great, the apt was very cosy but compact more suited for a single traveller rather than a couple as only one chair to sit on to watch the TV other than the bed which was very low and because of the roof line you had to be careful not to bang your head all the time. As there was no wardrobes and only a chest of drawers the only space to hang long coats, jeans was the chair or stair railing. Not wanting to sound to picky it was a lovely apt ,warm and very modern but too small for more than a couple of nights stay.

United KingdomSlightly disappointed with no cooker or hob. A 4 night stay was difficult with only a microwave and the toaster always set off the heat detection alarm. And i lost count of how many times i banged my head on the sloping ceilings.
Very comfortable apartment with very comfy bed. Gorgeous village with friendly residents. A nice touch leaving milk in fridge and chocolate biscuits 😋 hosts were very accommodating with the surprise addition of my dog accompanying me.

United KingdomThe fridge was slightly too small to fit food items in as well as milk and drinks.
Lovely quirky cottage, it was spotless and homely. A deep walk-in shower and toilet seperate. Underfloor heating. Very comfy bed and ample storage. The area was very scenic and close to other attractions and beauty spots. Robert was a lovely and welcoming host. Perfect getaway for couples without kids!

United KingdomSloped roof above the bed can make it easy to knock your head if you're taller like myself but other apartments available that looked lovely. Little difficult to find but soon figured it out, if using Google maps search for 8 The Cliff, Sleights. The address on booking for some reason would have taken us to Cayton Bay 45 minutes away, but a lovely beach there if you did end up that way.
Tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Doggy shower outside with plenty of towels and even dog shampoo to use, very nice touch as this trip was based around beachy walks with the dog. Plenty of places to eat nearby, easy to get to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Massive telly! Fresh milk in the fridge and choco liebniz biscuits which are our favourite.
