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 only two issues were the noise from the flat below as the person has the television on quite loud and they have a clock which chimes regularly but these are things probably out of the control of the owners. In the bathroom, the shower can be tricky to use.
The flat was lovely. It was very clean and centrally located for the town. The decor was lovely and the flat perfect for our short break. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and the lounge and bedroom were spacious and comfortable.

United KingdomThick dusty cobwebs in kitchen and living area. Wine glasses had lipstick on them and tea cups were also not washed properly. As its self catering that was a bit more understandable, could do with regular drinks glasses and more than 1 pan.
Cute, cosy, spacious living area. King size bed was perfect size as we have one at home. Property was tucked away which was very pleasant. Appreciated the chocolates as it was my partner’s birthday, would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomAs seen by other reviews, who ever lived in the flat below plays their TV very loud. It didn’t disrupt us too much but something to be mindful off. Although note this isn’t the property owners fault.
Great location and apartment. It had everything that we needed for our stay. Great communication with the owners and they were courteous with our request.

United KingdomThe only downside was the apartment below had their TV exceptionally loud all evening and into the early hours. It was hard to concentrate on our own tv. The next morning by 8am it was on full volume again. Such a shame as everything else was brilliant.
The photos don't do this apartment justice, more spacious than we thought it would be. Very clean and it was nice and cosy in the evening. The owners were very courteous and let us check in at 12 instead of 3pm. We didn't know what to expect when we first walked down the passageway as it's a little different but we were so happy with our choice once we entered. Location was excellent. Would definitely go back.

United KingdomOutside light at top of stairs not working so had to use phone torch, as we were leaving it was getting fixed, bed too hard for us, but that's our preference, kitchen not greatly stocked with crocks and pots if you wanted to make an evening meal which we did on our last night, but the one thing that will stop us returning was the constant loud TV noise from the man downstairs, ok the first night, but started at 7am and went through till 2.15 am the next morning the other 2 nights, could hear it above own tv and in bed, not the property owners fault but unfortunately not great, 😔
The apartment exceeded our expectations in regard to how large, light, and airy it was, was warm and cosy, plenty of hot water, and a huge bath, and a fabulous location just a few minutes into centre of Alnwick, 😄

United KingdomThe shower head over the bath was far from.ideal and anyone with any mobility issues would really struggle. Unfortunately the neighbour below a young guy we think played loud music/tv from 11pm until 1am most nights and kept my husband awake.
Really lovely flat which was beautifully presented. Great value and fabulous location 5 minutes walk from town.

United KingdomWe weren't aware of the steps up to the property which were unlit and we had to be cautious in the snow and ice. A fixed shower would have been useful. The neighbour downstairs was noisy, his TV could be heard word perfect over ours into the early hours.
Good location, comfortable, modern and well decorated. It was clean on arrival and good value for money.

United KingdomThere double glass doors leading into the apartment from the kitchen, we felt there should maybe be a sticker on the door that stays shut as my husband tried to walk through it twice 😀 and also, there is a shower attached to the taps on the bath, but nowhere to hang it and there is no shower screen or bracket. We didn't see the point in the shower. But the bath was perfect. Just sharing possible ideas to help.
A beautiful apartment in an old school. A proper comfortable home from home. An 8 minute stroll down into Alnwick which has some good pubs serving gorgeous food. Centrally located to the surrounding areas/attractions. We absolutely loved it and will be returning next year for longer as we crammed so much in, in 2 nights/3 days.

United KingdomThe light for the outside corridor only worked from the end nearest the street , when leaving the apartment in the dark it was quite hazardous. The light above the door also didn’t come on (it looked like a light that was on a sensor ) The shower was a little annoying as you had to hold it to be able to use it (I’m a shower person ) . None of these things impacted the holiday just worth a mention for potential improvement.
The property was in a really good location and was very homely. We loved that it had history as the old school. It was super cosy and we would recommend to friends.

United KingdomThis apartment is not suitable for people with mobility issues. Down a narrow alleyway and then up to the front door via outside well worn steps.
Perfectly situated in a side street this apartment was perfect for discovering the town of Alnwick and it's surrounding countryside and coastline. Berwick to the north and Tyneside to the south were easily accessible. The apartment was well presented and spotlessly clean with generously proportioned rooms. Parking was outside in the street but it isn't a busy street so quite safe.

United KingdomPlenty of hot water & excellent pressure, but since there is no shower curtain or glass panel showering was bit of a challenge.
The location (5 minutes walk to the High street, 3 minutes walk from bus station & supermarket). Facilities were basic (like no microwave) but very comfortable (bed, sofa etc.). Excellent tv & internet reception. Bright spacious rooms nicely put together.
