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.).

Hong KongI stayed at the Dorset Arms to visit my daughter, who is studying in Newcastle. The location was very suitable for me as it is a short drive to my daughter's place. It is not in the centre of the city. Stan the owner operator was a great host who went out of his way to ensure that I had a great stay. The hotel is currently being renovated but this didn't spoil the stay. Stan's breakfast is better than I have experienced in some 4star hotels. Overall extremely enjoyable and I'll be staying there the next time I'm in Newcastle.

United KingdomWhen you arrive at the hotel you will feel that you are at home or just a guest of Stan. Such hospitality is rare in Europe and not even in Britain. The atmosphere of home, museum and restaurant at the same time! I highly recommend it to everyone!

United KingdomStan was very welcoming and there were so many options for breakfast. We had cereal, a full English and actimel yogurts. The room was big and included complimentary shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, and even a toothbrush and toothpaste each. There were blinds as well as curtains to minimise light coming into the room in the morning. We had a lovely stay.

United KingdomOnly because I have to write a con - tv didn’t seem to work but we weren’t bothered by that as we were heading out anyway. Everything else exceeded expectations. I’m sure if we had brought it up he would’ve been right up to fix it but we just used the room for sleeping so never bothered with the tv.
The owner was incredible and we had a wonderful stay. We are used to hotels and Airbnb’s so were pleasantly surprised by the difference - from the cosy rooms to the beautiful garden with chickens, doves, and an apiary with bees to make honey for him! Partner said the cooked breakfast was delicious. There were no problems with us returning to our rooms late as we had our own key to enter the property, and the owner went above and beyond to help us in any way he could. I didn’t want to say, in case others come to expect this, but two other guests (that we knew!) happened to stay here too and joining us at our location that evening. There was a football match so no taxis to be had, so he drove all four of us himself!! Definitely would choose to stay here again above any sort of hotel or Airbnb. Ours was the “budget” room but more than you’d get in a hotel, with a comfy bed and huge bathroom. Despite the weather everywhere was warm and toasty.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was great.
We had a huge room and a really comfortable bed. The hotel has lovely unusual artifacts throughout, collected by Stan, the owner. The breakfasts were superb. The garden is a haven for birds, including morning visits from the wild green parakeets. I really enjoyed staying here and will make this my regular stopover when I visit my family.
