Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyThe location was perfect, just a short walk away from a variety of restaurants and attractions. The extra touches in the room were great. A wide range of tea, coffee and snacks available, and the host was very friendly and helpful when asked about restaurant options close by. I would highly recommend staying here for a weekend break.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike.
Excellent location with plenty of places to eat nearby. Easily reached by car from the A1. Small car park at rear of the property. Room No 3 is at the back and therefore very quiet. It's a good size, with fridge, kettle etc. The en suite bathroom is roomy and the shower excellent.

United States of AmericaThere is no sitting room or public space in the house, that space is reserved for the host family.
The host was lovely and very helpful with suggestions for the town and things to do. The room was small but perfectly set up with tea, coffee, biscuits, plenty of places to put your clothes and a small but perfectly equipped bathroom.

United KingdomNicola was an excellent host and the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Nicola provided us with an ice bucket to keep our milk cool as there was no fridge/mini bar in the room. The supply of teas and coffees were excellent, so we could relax in our room with a drink of our choice. The guest house is only a few minutes walk from Barter books, Alnwick Castle and plenty of eateries highly recommend

United KingdomNothing at all comes to mind! No elevator though, for those with disabilities - but it wasn't a problem for me.
The room was one of the most comfortable ones I've ever been in, & everything was spotless. There're plenty of coffee & snacks restocked daily, & they've got all toiletries (even an extra glass for brushing!) covered. The location is superb - right opposite the bus station where the train arrives, & there're plenty of cafes in the area that serve good food. Nicola is a sweetheart & I've spent one of the best nights of my life there.

United KingdomThe room was so much bigger than we expected and it was so comfortable and clean. It was a lovely space to unwind in after a long day of wandering around the sights of Alnwick. The location is perfect as you are so close to the centre near all the bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions. We had a gorgeous time and cannot thank Nicola enough for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back for another stay soon!
