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.).

It was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and food very good. Ideal location for our destination of the Beamish Museum. Plenty of parking which is always good. Had a singer on while we were there which was a bonus as we love live music.

United KingdomThe toilet was very small, my feet were jammed up against the wall which was not comfortable. I wasn't aware that you can get a lower rate by booking direct.
Breakfast was fine, sensible proportions. Very handily placed on the bus route so good for the cricket. Good, roomy shower that was hot and powerful.

United KingdomAlthough the rooms were very clean and had a comfortable bed the furniture design is not suitable. It is extremely ornate but totally unsuitable for the rooms. It is extremely large and heavy and leaves no room for a chair or chairs. Our wardrobe had no door handles. The bedsteads are huge and heavy and in my and my family’s opinion a bit of a health hard. The ornate legs at the bottom of the beds are huge and bulbous all of us banged our knees on them more than once and quite painfully. We have stayed here before and suffered with this on every occasion. We are positive other customers must have suffered similarly. Sad to say they need to be disposed of or suitably altered in our opinion
Really helpful and happy staff very good breakfast and evening menu. Comfortable bed and the location was perfect for. Our particular needs.

United KingdomThe fire alarm went off twice during our stay. Once on Saturday at 6am and then again on Sunday during breakfast. The bathroom was quite small and the shower basin filled up quicker than it drained.
The staff were all very helpful throughout our stay. The food was really nice and their was a large selection to choose from for breakfast. The rooms were comfortable and cosy and we had a good sleep.
