How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I found it annoying that even after I asked at the desk, I never had milk for my coffee and or in fact any coffee at all. I also was not told that my room would NOT be made up at the weekend but I also stayed overnight on Thursday and the room was not made up then either. I had to ASK at the desk. This could be much improved.
The room was comfortable and just right for my short stay. I find the location very good especially proximity to the Light Rail. The desk sand restaurant staff always tried to be helpful.

The carpark is not great so I parked on the road outside as arrived after a certain time and left early. The window is double glazed but seal must have been slightly broken as could hear the road noise but was fine over the weekend. Walk was about 10 mins to get to places, would be handy to get a map to where to go to see/ buy things in the area.
I like the bathroom and the shower were super nice and powerful.

Only one cup in the room for 2 people, TV remote didn't work so we couldn't use the TV, discolour on one of the sheets (don't think it was dirty just stained).
Great location close to Honeysuckle and lots of restaurants. Nice bar for a drink, very friendly staff. Quiet considering it is right in Newcastle. Comfortable bed and great pillows! Good Aircon and easy parking. Easter eggs!

Lights in my room didn't work so I had to be relocated, which was well managed by the staff. At checkout, the staff couldn't fine my booking. It was disappointing that there was no freezer in the room and it was surprising to be stung $25 dollars for parking overnight.
Access and every was super easy, which was great when I arrived late at night. Bed and bedding was very comfortable and shower was spacious. Staff were, generally helpful

I was questioned by reception as to why I was parked in disabled parking. You don't see my illness, he asked if I had a pass to which I confirmed I did but he still questioned my authenticity. The absolute worst thing then occurred and he told us to go to room 212, we went up and entered to our horror, there was someone already in that room and the assumption was they were in the shower, we quickly got out of there. Went down and he gave us another room card. That was below standard for the stay!
24 hour check in

The rooms were dark and the bathrooms are small -like on a cruise ship. A chair in the room would make it more comfortable.
It was close walking distance to Huckleberry Dr which is a lovely walking area with good restaurants choices. Close to the train station . The staff were helpful .
