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 KingdomEverything was great.
The Metropolitan was a really lovely place to stay. Very clean, comfortable with a stylish spacious bedroom and en-suite. The owners Lee and Paul were very welcoming and all services were to a very high level. Breakfast was cooked to order with great choices and with quality ingredients. Location was perfect, a few minutes from the Metro and beautiful Whitely Bay. Would recommend as the perfect place to stay!

Great breakfast, Paul and Lee accommodated our dietary needs very well. The place is fairly near the promenade, and also near various eating places.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower was not the best however it was lovely and hot.
The Metropolitan was spotless and beds were comfy. The hot breakfast was cooked to order meaning it was hot and fresh. I was in a single room which was lovely. It was above the kitchen so if you are a light sleeper/want to sleep in I would recommend ear plugs. Paul and Lee were fabulous hosts making sure everything was great.

United KingdomCould do with a long mirror in the room.
I had a lovely stay. I felt very welcome from the moment I checked-in! Although I would have been happy with a smaller room, I was upgraded to a double room which was lovely. It was really comfortable and well decorated. The room was nice, it had a decent shower, hairdryer, iron outside and lots of cushions for sitting watching TV.

United KingdomEverything was first class
When we arrived we were given a family room which was out of this world, everything about it was first class and very clean, we couldn't have asked for a better room if we tried. Paul and Lee couldn't do enough for us, they gave us information regarding places to visit and where to eat out at night. We were asked to fill out a breakfast request so that they new what we wanted to eat in the morning, the quality of the food was first class. We will certainly recommend 'The Metropolitan' to friends and family.

United KingdomOn street parking is free but it's very busy. If you can't get parked ask Lee or Paul and, if they haven't already done so for another guest, they will move their car and you can take their space :)
Lovely room with everything we wanted and more. Modern but with some lovely, quirky touches. Superb breakfast with wide variety of fruit, etc. Extensive folder with information on restaurants, things to do, etc. Lee also discussed personal recommendations when we arrived. Most importantly both Lee and Paul were so helpful and friendly. I really can't rate the Metropolitan highly enough.
