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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomA very minor concern was the noise from the pub below, however I appreciate that this is a popular and busy pub. However they did provide ear plugs which helped a lot.
This is a great location to stay in Whitby, the room was clean and tidy and had an excellent view of the harbour and sea. The staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The carpark is easy to find and the spaces are good for SUVs.

Great location with views of the river and Abbey. Room was compact but in a good position with private parking provided you did not mind being above a lively pub.

United KingdomGreat location right on the harbour front, if your wanting an early night and it's the weekend that's not happening, ear plugs are supplied but it's a room above a pub so what would you expect? 1st floor rooms so the folks on the top deck of the tour bus will smile directly at you, but the room was nice, it wasn't expensive and the staff were lovely. Oh and the car park is fun to find and if you have anything much bigger than a focus it's a tight fit.

United KingdomI needed a one night stay in Whitby reasonably close to the railway station and the Buck Inn was just what I was looking for. The room was very clean and comfortable and the view over the river and harbour was excellent. It was a midweek night so only a little noise from the pub and that finished around 23.00.

United KingdomInexpensive room above a pub in an exceptional position by the harbour. Staff very obliging, room small but clean, well maintained and comfortable. Pub noisy. We were there Thursday, Friday and Saturday have live music/karaoke. Extremely close to a wide range of excellent eating places.

United KingdomThe room was clean and tidy with tea/coffee facilities. Comfy bed . The staff were friendly and helpful and we had no issues. Ear plugs were provided due to music from the pub which wasn't that loud but ear plugs were a nice touch. I'd definitely stay again as it's in a really good location and close to shops.

United KingdomThe karaoke is loud but we were warned about that. It didn't bother us as we were prepared for it so decided to join in and make the best of it. Earplugs are provided (great idea) if you wish to retire earlier.
Location is perfect. Room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, only downside was it is a bit small. The staff were lovely and cheerful. Good atmosphere in the pub.

United KingdomNo bulb in bedside lamp, the fancy coffee machine was a nice touch.....the choice of coffee pods not so....I'm guessing all the nice ones disappear early in the season🤣 I think this accommodation thinks too highly of itself. There is far better availability very close by for the same or less money: as evidenced by my visiting fellow members of our parties' respective establishments. That said, I wasn't disappointed, it served its purpose.
Location. Check in, with Holly, was pleasant and easy. Room was clean and comfortable The shower was hot and powerful.
