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 KingdomRoom was a bit rough around the edges, cracked mirror, broken wipe dispenser, just the overall finish… Half smoked cig and litter on the balcony… And the building site directly outside, gorgeous view
The hotel looks and feels expensive/posh on the ground floor

AustraliaThe room did feel a little old, the bathroom flooded after a shower if towels weren’t laid down
The area was great, lots of nice places around and walking distance to most of the city.

United KingdomFor the money (£175 on matchday) I was a little disappointed. We were disturbed all night with sirens going past, window was closed. Would recommend a non stadium view if your a light sleeper as the metal windows do not stop any noise. There were notifications around the hotel about the gym being closed ( had no intention of using as there for the match but would have been good to notify in advance for those who were intending using) Room and shower were abit grotty which again for the money was disappointing.
Location for St James Park was perfect. Bed was comfy. Check in early by chance when we went to drop bags off. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

the proximity to St James Park, it’s comfort and spacious rooms and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff working there.

United KingdomWith it being a city centre hotel, I completely understood it might be noisy (especially because we were staying on the bank holiday weekend), however the amount of noise (even 9 floors up) was insane. People were out on the street screaming at 4:30 in the morning, police cars were flying about outside, and there was people running up and down the corridors late on into the night. Whilst that isn't the hotel's fault, it's just something to consider if you're planning to stay at the hotel.
We got a really good rate for the room, and were pleasantly surprised with the view - we were overlooking St James' Stadium which was a treat for my partner who's a huge Newcastle FC fan. The room itself was lovely, excellently furnished and had everything you'd expect. The staff were brilliant on reception, we arrived early, so were going to drop the bags at reception, but it turned out that a room was ready and we were able to check straight in. My only comment would be that there was a flickering light in the bathroom, one of the lights wasn't working in the bathroom, and the wardrobe door was stuck, so you couldn't actually open it to put anything in.

United KingdomBath plug wouldn't open, they give you hobs but nothing to actually cook with so the hobs are pointless. Said we would have had bath robes, none in sight. Balcony and all glass on the balcony was manky black. For the price I'd have expected more cleanliness. The bed was so soft that when my partner rolled over I'd fall into him.
It was close to everything we needed.

United KingdomThere was limited crockery, ie 1 spoon, 1 small plate, no bowls. The crockery that was there also wasn’t very clean however when I asked for more the staff brought more. We also didn’t like the size of the bath towels they were far too small and didn’t wrap around our body and there was only 1 bath robe.
We have stayed here before because of the location and also the room we had. The room we stayed in had a small kitchenette which meant we didn’t have to eat out for all our meals and it also was spacious and had a settee. Each time we have stayed all the staff have been exceptionally helpful and very accommodating. It’s a lovely touch to be able to use the coffee machine in reception.
