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):
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 KingdomNothing. But worth mentioning that the WiFi was poor. The property could probably benefit from an extender as signal was very low in the room we were in. Not a big issue for us as we were not in the room very much.
Lovely property. Sally and her gorgeous four legged friend were fabulous hosts! We had four nights and enjoyed it immensely. Our room was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great en-suite with an amazing shower. Cooked breakfast available every morning.

United KingdomThe bed was a bit crammed in against the wall on one side, a bit more space to get in and out would have been helpful.
Excellent breakfasts, attractive location and a host, Sally, who could not have done more for us, even filling a flask of real coffee for our journey back. We had chosen this place as being a good and fairly central place for us to vist Banburgh, Alnwick and Berwick which it was. Only sorry we didn't have time to visit Cragside. Our room was clean and comfortable with an en suite bathroom and television. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay for our first visit to Northumberland and we hope to come again.

Located in a quiet village, greeted by the host who made us very welcome. Excellent breakfast each day. Room was very quiet, only the noise of the birds could be heard. Would recommend this as a cosy, quiet and very pleasant base to explore the wonderful surrounding area Northumberland has to offer.

United KingdomLeaving!
What a perfect spot for exploring Northumberland. The house is lovely, the village is beautiful and we were made to feel like we were staying with friends rather than a B&B. Plus we got to meet Minky who we fell in love with instantly. The breakfast is amazing - don't think we need to eat ever again! Sally is a wonderful host, very friendly and knowledgeable. Will most certainly be back in the not too distant future.
