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 KingdomWe loved everything at the Coast Guest House. The owners were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfast was excellent and they made it gluten free for us. They gave us some great tips on places to see, restaurants and pubs as well. The guest house was only a short walk away from Whitby centre and having a parking space was very handy. We would highly recommend it and would love to stay again.

United KingdomThat we couldn't stay for longer! Wasn't an issue for us but property is on a hill but fantastic bus service if required. For us it worked off all the food we ate.
We came as guests and left feeling like family. It was nice to feel so welcomed. True Yorkshire couple couldn't do enough for us. The room was beautiful with a lovely view of the Abbey. Breakfast was great lots of choice and all the best ingredients.

United KingdomWow! What a place. Lynne and George were amazing, welcoming and chatty, making us feel like we had come to a family members house more than a hotel. We had arrived a lot later than we thought because of the drive up, but Lynne was very welcoming into the guest house, providing us with some local places to see and visit. The room was amazing, well sized with a lovely bathroom and beautifully decorated. We could have easily stayed in the guest house for the entirety of the stay - but there's so much to explore in Whitby. The breakfast was very nice, well proportioned and very well cooked which always filled us up until dinner time. And the COFFEE! Never had it before, but it was the best coffee I've had in a very long time, thoroughly recommend the coffee. We were the last guests of the season and had the guest house to ourselves on the last two days of our stay. Lynne even offered us the large top floor room if we wanted to move (the top floor room is what we're hoping to book next time, with its stand alone bath). The guest house was the right distance from town, not too far out of town with a little bit of a walk up hill from Whitby. Lynne and George were always happy to provide ideas of places to visit or special ways of how to get there, which is great when you've never been to Whitby.
