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 KingdomBathroom window would have given more privacy if frosted glass or transfer on lower aspect. The light through the window is great but worried a passing neighbour might see inside the bathroom area.
Really comfortable room, efficient and friendly staff, lovely hotel and grounds. Lovely chat with Paul, head groundsman.

United KingdomRoom 9 Laurel had an open plan bedroom and toilet/bathing area. Too impersonal even for couples. The toilet at least should have been enclosed for privacy and hygiene purposes.
Loved the room all except the open plan bathing and toilet area.

United KingdomInside doormat required, we were wiping our feet on wet outdoor mat trailing in dirt and leaves. Shower door didn't shut resulting in us having to mop up water, sink in kitchen dripping all night, disturbed sleep.
Location beautiful, breakfast good but still over priced for overall experience. Balcony littered with leaves, debris including cigarette butt's.

United KingdomHad such a fabulous experience at the Black Horse Beamish from making the reservation to departure, nothing seems to much trouble for the team This was my first stay and I will definitely be back. It was their attention to detail that made my experience exceptional. Reception letting me into the room an hour earlier meant I could change for the wedding as a guest upon arrival. The Holly Room was immaculate, During the evening reception I asked for weak black coffee and that’s exactly what the bar staff provided at a reasonable charge. Breakfast was hot and delicious. and the winter views are just beautiful. To the team at the Black Horse Beamish thank you so much for making my stay memorable

United KingdomThe bed side lights were both on the same switch, so when my wife woke and wanted to read, my light came on as well and woke me. There was very good shower but it had been plumbed in incorrectly, as you could have a hot or very hot shower, but you couldn't add cold water to make it more comfortable. The safety light outside the door wasn't working nor was the one at the neighbouring property so coming back after dark was difficult for two reasons, firstly the number of steps leading to the rooms and secondly by the lack of light. The outside door to the reception was approached via steps and was very heavy and awkward to open when loaded down with luggage. This would have been less of a problem if it had been dry, but as it was raining we didn't want to make more trips to the car than necessary.
The room we booked was very good. there was lots of room and storage facilities. There were tea and coffee facilities, but the biscuits were not replaced on the second day. There was also a fridge and we could get fresh milk from the bar.

United KingdomWe could not understand why when so much thought had obviously been put into the comfort of the room the designer had thought it appropriate to have an open plan toilet! ....An open plan bathroom yes but toilet NO!! When we saw the pictures of the room online we thought that they had left the bathroom doors open to showcase the lovely copper bath....so just be advised that the bathroom is totally open and if you are ok with that you will really enjoy your stay.
The location was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was also very good, we ate there 3 nights and each meal was very good. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, we particularly liked the fridge in the room. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Great shower too. Everything in the room was finished to a very high standard.
