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 KingdomThe whole package! Carolyn and her husband exceptional hosts, quiet location with beautiful views, breakfasts perfect. We loved the fresh berries, muesli, mixed seeds, yoghurt - plus a full English breakfast. The bed was super comfy and room spotless. Location couldn't be better. Definitely recommend and would stay there again.

The hosts are very welcoming and happy to help with information on the local area. The location is beautiful and perfect for a peaceful getaway, ideally located for Hadrian's Wall, Corbridge, Hexham and many more local attractions.

United KingdomNothing! We will hope to return here in better weather, to enjoy more of Hadrian's Wall.
Carolyn and Lex were very welcoming and helpful hosts. The breakfasts were excellent, eaten at a large dining-room table which also accommodates other guests. The traditional farmhouse is set in pleasant countryside, along a very narrow and winding road off the A68, which goes through to the A6079 - so a bit more remote than we had realised, but we soon got used to it in driving to Hexham (about 15 minutes) or Corbridge (about 10 minutes) to explore these towns or to eat in the evening. (Carolyn has information about the best places to eat, including a good pub in Humshaugh, a short drive away.)

United KingdomIf you have a dog there is a front porch or utility room for them to sleep. Some dog owners may find this difficult but our dog was fine and the owner does not charge extra for dogs which was refreshing.
Great choice, fresh fruit available every morning and homemade marmalade. Walks for the dog on the doorstep. The garden area is secure too. Bedroom immaculate and very comfortable bed. Excellent shower. Owners are very knowledgeable about area and places to explore.

United KingdomErrington House is in Northumberland, about 5 miles from Corbridge, and convenient for Hadrian's Wall. It is a large comfortable house set in farmland down a small lane, and is very quiet as a result. The room was comfortable, and the hosts, Carolyn and Lex, charming and helpful. They are a fount of knowledge about what to see and do in the area, on hand with a welcome cup of tea after a day out. Breakfast was good, with a cooked breakfast available on request. Own car or other means of transport essential.
