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.).

As with many holiday lets, there wasn't a clothes airer available for hanging up towels after showering, we hung them over the bedroom doors, the shower cubicle on the top floor was small and needed a shower caddy for shampoo and soap etc as they had to be left on the floor and being a tight space it was very difficult to bend down to pick them up.
Excellent location for local attractions, restaurants, pubs, 30 minutes drive or so to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses. Visitor parking available at rear of property, first come first served basis, as not allocated to property as such, there is also some street parking available nearby. Large, cosy three double bedroom house, clean, airy, everything provided for. Many thanks to the host(s) for leaving an excellent information bundle and a very generous welcome tray of goodies, the best we've ever had.

The mattresses were large but "springy". Even so, we slept well. We took a large sourdough loaf but couldn't slice it because there was only a blunt carving knife and very small sharpish knife.
The location was very good: a 300 metre walk into centre. A large TV with comfortable seating which, unfortunately, is missing in many rentals. The house had everything apart from a bread knife.

Had a washing machine but nowhere to dry clothes after washing. Please provide an airer. Dining and seating areas would be cosy for 6 people. Good for 4 I’d say.
Very nice place to stay. Had most things. Big beds. 3 loos which was very handy - one on each floor. Would return. The location was perfect for access to everything but was quiet in the evenings so we were able to sleep very well. Some items provided for the dishwasher, washer etc which was very helpful. Clearly Margaret the owner has put a lot of thought into making Column Mews feel like a home.

bedding needs to be ironed and not just put on beds all creased which makes one question if it is clean and fresh. otherwise everything was fabulous. kitchen well equipped with all you would need for both a short or longer stay. other than bedding the cottage was immaculate and exceptionally clean. would not recommend for anyone with waking problems/disability as sitting room and first bed room on 1st floor. very near to town centre and the castle.

The location was excellent and was easy to park. The house was clean, comfortable and cosy with lots of extra touches that really made us feel at home and the kitchen was the best equipped of anywhere we’ve stayed. The file provided at the house was also really detailed and helpful.
