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.).

Unfortunately I may not have made clear that we were a group of 3 ladies in their 70's and chose the accommodation because it had 3 bedrooms, but sadly the bed in the small bedroom was not made up until we found the bedding under the bed.
We loved it all, the house was extremely comfortable, very well equipped and perfectly positioned. We could not have asked for anywhere nicer to stay.

The bath was out of order at the time which was hard with a toddler. Otherwise it was perfect!
This home was a perfect location and set up for us. We were very comfortable for a week, everyone slept soundly and we were happy to come back to this lovely home after busy days exploring. Great location to walk into town and the castle. Will definitely be coming back!

We were a family of three adults and liked everything - general consensus was 'we could live here!' Beautifully appointed house, the hosts seem to have thought of everything that you could possibly need and then some!

Just a very small issue was the rush to strip six beds and leave by ten o'clock... hopefully covid restrictions will be lifted soon.
Everything was lovely at the house...everything we needed and Fiona was very helpful with messages, letting us know the house was ready a little earlier, sorting out baby items and places to visit etc. We attended a fabulous wedding at the treehouse so didn't get to spend too much time around Alnwick and plan to revisit soon to see more of the beautiful Northumberland area and wonderful hospitality...such a friendly place.

Insufficient towels and toilet rolls. Toilet roll holder needed securing. Grandchildren too old for bunk beds but we were aware ! Suggest upgrade of lounge to conform with the rest of the house, as it seemed a little dated
Excellent location. Easy access and parking. Clean and well maintained. Tastefully decorated. Loved the tiled floors. Well stocked. Pleasant outside seating area, although painting brickwork white would brighten. Comfortable large beds. Good communication from owner.

There is nothing is can think of.
Beautiful house, a home away from home feel. Has everything you need. Great location Alnwick Castle is at the bottom of the road a few steps away and so is town/resturants/shops. Fiona the owner was lovely and made sure you had all the information that you needed before arriving and is very quick and help about answering questions.

The long winded 'house rules'. Nothing particularly onerous but they went on a bit! (Especially the ones about heating - made one feel guilty when turning the heating up on what was a very cold day). Couldn't help thinking the hosts were rather begrudgingly letting you stay there!
A nice, comfortable well equipped house in an excellent location.

Not as clean as we expected. No instructions for dishwasher or washing machine. Very little work surface in kitchen. Outside yard small, unkept and not really child friendly. Didn’t agree with the instructions to strip every bed before leaving.
