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 KingdomIt would have been nice if booking.com would allow vendors the opportunity to describe exactly how much parking there is. On this occasion I had to leave my car on the street for the first evening as they can only accommodate 6 vehicles for 8 rooms.

United KingdomThe only thing which we could find fault with was that we could hear normal level conversation from the next door room! Is it possible to retro-fit decent sound insulation? If it's not, I don't think that would stop us from returning
The Windmill is a lovely place to stay. It's located down a short, narrow road which opens out into a gated courtyard with room for several cars. The owner welcomed us and was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room was a good size, clean and tidy, pleasantly individual with a large bathroom and a very comfortable four-poster bed. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including the usual tea/coffee and TV but it also had windows we could open and heating we could control. Brilliant!

United KingdomThere wasn't a thing I could find fault with.
EVERYTHING. The hosts were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The room was really clean and comfortable. The windmill is situated near to Scarborough town centre and when the lights around it's own courtyard are on at night it looks lovely. We posted pictures on social media and have friends looking to book here and we will DEFINITELY be booking again.

United KingdomCar parking is a little tight when full but the owners came out and helped with this and accommodated us to park two cars within the gates.
Loved seeing the windmill and the staff were great. There are two cottages beside the windmill and then apartments on the other side. The windmill itself has two rooms which sleep two guests in each room. We loved the attention to detail and the location is quite central to Scarborough as it's within a housing estate.

United KingdomWhat an amazing place - Andy and Nicola have thought of everything and have executed it perfectly. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome. The room (we had #8) was beautifully appointed, huge TV, comfy sofa and bed, well stocked tea/coffee tray, bottle opener, cork screw, pint and wine glasses, hairdryer, iron, fan, lots of sockets, wi-fi and parking included. We stayed for two nights and loved the fact that servicing our room after one night was an option - there is no need, so appreciate being asked as it makes for a more relaxing stay for everyone. We would definitely stay again and look forward to doing so. Well done guys, you have created perfection.
