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 KingdomThe Bed was too hard, the two seater settee in the sitting area was a bit too small and only hard chairs to sit on, you could always go upstairs to the bedroom to watch the t.v. while lying on the bed.
Lovely little cottage, well designed and quite comfortable. Only one two seater settee, so as long as you like being cozy fine. The bed is a good size double but very firm. I prefer a softer mattress,

The little home from home is one of our favourite places to stay. We have been now for the last two winters. It is warm and cosy and has everything you could need. The bed is so comfy and when we arrived we had 6 fresh eggs and tea biscuits waiting for us. Perfect rest

United KingdomEverything is great!
The Hayloft Cottage is a beautiful, idyllic holiday getaway just a short drive away from Whitby. Bird feeders in the small garden at the front of the cottage attract the local sparrows, blue tits and blackbirds, and the cottage is cosy and perfect for a couple. The owners are fantastic and it’s a nice touch to provide guests with a pack of biscuits from Botham’s and fresh, free range eggs from their own chickens. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and there is a hob and oven to make your own food in. The cottage is ideally located for exploring the local area such as the cinder path; a walk from Goathland to Grosmont (along the old incline railway track) and Scarborough is only a 40 minute drive away. We have stayed here twice and look forward to returning in the future when we want to visit Whitby again.

There isn’t anything to dislike about The Hayloft! Loved absolutely everything about it. They say great things come in small packages and that’s certainly the case here! Caroline was helpful and friendly and always available if needed. The eggs were an added bonus - delicious. Will definitely be returning!
