Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWonderful B&B. Ali was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We had homemade cake and coffee on arrival, which we enjoyed on the "guest decking". The bed was very comfortable. Our continental breakfast was the best we have ever had in a B&B. Very tasty and well presented. And we were able to enjoy it in the room, which for me was a bonus. Thanks Ali for a lovely overnight stay.

The whole experience of staying at Glen View was relaxing and re energising. We were spoilt by Ali and appreciated her extra touch to our stay. From arriving to cake, lovely bed, beautiful scenery and finally a yummy breakfast. Both Pete and Ali were beyond welcoming ♥️

United KingdomWas a bit unsure where to park when we got there, that’s all. There is a Glen View B&B sign, but didn’t realise it would be just one of the houses, all ended up okay though :)
Great location, so peaceful and charming, super comfortable bed, great pillows, hot and roomy shower, fresh milk with tea, cushions and blankets provided ready on the side when sitting on the patio and it gets a bit chilly, lovely breakfast, and the most wonderfully warm host.

United StatesAli and Pete are the most wonderful hosts ever! The room is beautiful, clean and calming with a private terrace and entrance, with gorgeous views of the countryside. A five minute drive from the town center, it made for a great base to explore Whitby. The breakfast itself was absolutely scrumptious and so fresh! The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable stay. I loved all the personal and thoughtful touches, and would return just for the homemade lemon drizzle cakes! Highly recommend the Glen View B&B :)
