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 KingdomAmazing location and wow, the views! We had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning inc dishwasher tablets. Ali our host was very helpful with excellent communication and if anything was missing or needed fixing, Jens would come to the rescue and/or there was always a back up. He’s the chap that also tests the hot tub every single morning so you don’t have to. Follow the rules of the steamer properly too and cover your neck are for it to work properly. It’s fabulously soothing. I would advise to check what’s left over from other holiday makers (cooking oil etc) and then buy your own stuff from the local shops. Also do your research and read the reviews e.g. bring your own loose coffee and dressing gowns. And yes it’s an ancient white low-sloped cottage, I think the only one left on that side of the hill so there are a few steps to get in. For the actual parking and entry address, I would use the YO22 4HD post code for ‘Marsden Place’), look on The Ropery road side and Google street view it. Look for the 3 parking slots - it’s the one in the right out of the three facing the water.

United KingdomThere are a couple of things that could of been better, the first is when you return in the dark the steps in between the gate and hot tub are not lit up, there is light near the gate and lights near the cottage but not over the actual steps and in our party of 5 two tripped and fell but luckily only resulting in a couple of bruises. The other thing is the upstairs bedroom and bathroom, the bedroom is in the loft which is very comfortable but also very low due to the shape of the apex roof which if you don’t bend over when getting in or out you bang your head. You do get used to the bed/bedroom but the bath I couldn’t as it was tucked under the apex roof in the bathroom. I am only 5ft 8 inches but couldn’t sit up at the end of the bath as I kept hitting my head so I had to kneel in the middle which wasn’t easy and trying to stand up was even worse, I tried twice and gave up and ended up using one of the downstairs bedroom en-suite which was inconvenient at times as I accidentally woke up family using that bedroom whilst showering. Overall the cottage is ideal apart from the couple of issues. I would stay there again if only two bedrooms downstairs were needed but if three rooms were needed I wouldn’t unless they installed a full sized shower.
The cottage was lovely and in a good location. The two bedrooms downstairs were good with the beds being comfortable and both having en-suites. It was clean throughout and the hot tub was large, warm and checked daily. It was well stocked with cooking equipment and had all the appliances. The views over the Esk were wonderful and the living/dining room was spacious.
