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 KingdomBeautiful property well furnished and comfortable. Hamper of goodies on arrival was a real treat. The property is well located and very well equipped - a complete home from home. Could not fault it and would certainly recommend and stay there again if we visited the area. It was a great base for the area as well as within a short walk of the main centre of Alnwick. Parking was not an issue but not necessarily outside of the property. Really good communication from the owner.

The house is in a great location and central to the town. Easy access to the Castle and all shops and supermarkets. The coast is only 8 miles away, such as Alnmouth and Amble. The house has everything you need to make your stay an enjoyable holiday. Parking is directly outside and there is always a chance of finding a space. Falstaff house is a very cosy home, so wasn't cold at all. The place is very spacious and the main bedroom has its own bathroom. Second bedroom uses the main bathroom, which has a bath tub as well as shower. A big thank you to the owner Louise, who does her upmost to make your stay so enjoyable. Milk is provided and their is plenty supplies of tea and coffee and homemade cake and biscuits to get you started. Would highly recommend this property to stay in for a short break or long term holiday. Can't wait to return again.

United KingdomJust one thing - we could of done with a hoover just to whip over the downstairs floors while we were staying.
The accommodation was perfect with a large front room, kitchen which leads into a lovely courtyard, big upstairs with two bathrooms and roomy bedrooms! We travelled with our young son and I can confirm you can fit a ‘next to me’ next to the bed in the main bedroom - just incase anyone else is looking to book here with small children. It’s lovingly stocked with all the things you’ll need for a comfortable stay - tea, coffee, cooking equipment, fluffy towels etc The location is really central to Alnwick, we walked into town to collect a takeaway on the first night and it was a 10 min round trip! it's also a perfect base for travelling to seahouses, alnmouth, craster, bamburgh etc! Plus the famous Barter Books is 5 mins away. Finally, we were greeted by a welcome hamper with a card complete with suggestions of things to do during our stay + a lovely bottle of fizz and card for our anniversary. We’d love to stay again!

United KingdomCannot fault property . The swing sign outside the pub opposite could do with oiling as it’s squeaks loudly in the wind but that is nothing to do with the property ;)
Perfectly situated just off the Main Street. Excellent facilities with attention to detail and added treats on arrival. Superhosting at its best with advice and information on places to visit and things to do.

Excellent location, close to the centre of town but still able to park in the street outside. The house is bright and airy and there are so many little touches that make it special. Louise text to check that all was okay and had left us some treats for our arrival. There was tea and coffee (including decaffeinated) and milk waiting for us, which meant we did not need to go out again immediately. There was lots of information about how to use the various equipment in the house and also lots of information about the local area. The kitchen is well equipped, the house was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a base in the area.

United KingdomWe liked everything about this property
Falstaff House was one of the best ,if not the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. The hospitality goodies the owner left in place were excellent and most welcome. The house was warm, cosy extremely comfortable on all levels, with all the information re the area ,the equipment, the local hostelries etc we could wish for. Books to read, games to play,and comfortable beds to sleep in . Pretty much perfect..
