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 KingdomRecently we have found that some of the hotel is looking a little run down and in need of a spruce up. Also we were disappointed to find that the restaurant menu had changed as I always looked forward to the amazing chicken Masala they used to serve and my Coeliac wife had a nice selection of GF meals to choose from. Small point I know, but these things make a difference to us and where we stay. The biggest disappointment was not really the fault of the hotel. My wife has mobility issues and cannot walk up the hill from the seafront so we rely on the funicular lift close to the hotel to get us up and down especially on an evening when going out for a meal. We were shocked to find that on the Saturday night we were there it stopped operating at 5pm. This is no good for us and we will need to find a different location to stay in Scarborough in the future
My wife and I come to this hotel quite regularly mainly because of the location and also the relaxing bar area. Plus the rooms are always very spacious

United KingdomOn 2 occasions we did not have hot water for a shower, we had to go and tell reception. Additionally, the key cards were very sensitive and we had to keep going down to reception to re-config them. It wasn't only me that kept doing this. There were a few more people that had this issue.
I like the spa and pool. The location was amazing. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely go again!

Lovely hotel. We had such a lovely stay, facilities brilliant. The food in the restaurant was lovely. Special mention to the young bar man making the cocktails, credit to the hotel.

The bed was supper comfy and the facilities (gym and pool) were great! Also the bar and restaurant staff were brilliant, attentive and friendly. We will definitely come back 😊

United KingdomI had no hot water for 2 out of 4 days which was tried to be rectified by a very well mannered and experienced maintenance worker to no avail but was managed by the use of the spa and another room on the final day with full apology from again excellent staff Parking is hit and miss outside with permit and no clear direction to use permit in other streets meaning could be driving round one way system some time until space becomes available. There is private parking but this is expensive per night even to guests
Easy to find location with stunning sea views. Large airy room although a little tired furniture was exceptionally clean. Good facilities with bar/eating area and spa all well run by excellent and friendly staff. Breakfast was good offering full English and continental and ample seating.

United KingdomThe water temperature in the room was boiling and was too hot to wash hands with the hot tap in the sink. The staff on the bar didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing although not sure if they were new staff. The state of the room and the whole hotel (decor etc) could have been better so I would rate this 3 star, not 4 star. The car park price per night (£15) is ridiculous and no prior warning of how much it cost before checking in, so if you were here for more than a few days it would cost a lot extra.
The location was great for both the seafront and the town centre. Easily accessible from the main road. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was also lovely, with both cooked and continental options available every morning.

United KingdomPool was a bit small and the sauna was not near it you had to go through to another area to use it. No sunbeds or chairs to sit around the pool either. If you wanted a drink or snack again u had to get out the pool get dressed and go to the main hotel bar area.
Breakfast was good nice choice of items. The location was great easy to access all Scarborough had to offer and to visit other places locally.
