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...).

United KingdomThe steep stairs There was a very bad unwashed mark/stain on a quilt cover and I'm waiting for a reply, we had to take the quilt cover off. Bad laundering but other bedding and towels were spotless.
The location was perfect. The downside are the steep stairs with luggage. The welcome pack is fabulous. Very cosy, spacious, well equipped. Spacious bedrooms, particularly liked the top bedroom.

United KingdomIt is called the Wizards Loft but wished it had been on the 1st and 2nd floor and not the 2nd and 3rd floor. Need to be quite fit for all the stairs. Everything thought out but need to take shower gel as no dispenser in either shower.
Central position in Alnwick with a Harry Potter theme. Lots of information about the area, where to eat and where to shop. Parking nearby and could park for 2 hours immediately outside. Both a bathroom and one bedroom with an ensuite. Provided a basket of goodies on arrival which was a nice touch. Grandchildren who like Harry Potter will love it.

United KingdomFabulous location, we were in the area visiting family but also booked to visit local attractions. The apartment was really clean & spacious. Our girls loved the Harry Potter theme, it added lots of excitement to the stay & there was so much attention to detail with all the props which made it extra special. Great to be able to view Alnwick Castle from the living room window. Would definitely look to book again.

Amazing location and a must stay place for Harry Potter fans - loved the music at the front door! Large apartment with super comfy beds and exceptionally clean. Good communication beforehand to arrange access etc. Easy parking outside flat for up to 2 hours and then free 24 hour parking within a 10 min stroll. Morrisons and High Street shops on your doorstep, with pubs and restaurants galore all around. Easy to walk to Alnwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle just about 25 mins away too. Just watch as some of the crockery isn't dishwasher compatable. And don't put a light sleeper in the blue bedroom as they have the boiler in the cupboard which fires up when someone showers, a CO2 detector which flashes green all night and the macerator in the ceiling for the bathroom above - but a deep sleeper won't be bothered by any of this though. We would definitely return.

United KingdomSo many stairs! And possibly could have been a little more child friendly with the option of a cot and high chairs for babies.
We had a fantastic stay at Wizards loft, my little boy was so excited with the decor and Harry Potter themed rooms. The Wands in the welcome Basket and the Harry Potter music coming on in the hallway were fabulous little touches! Great location too and a treat to see Alnwick Castle from the window!

United KingdomIt would be great to have black out blinds in the top bedroom.
This place is so beautifully done. It far exceeded our expectations from the listing. Every detail has been thought about and more. The theme runs throughout. The facilities are lovely, it is impeccably clean and in a wonderful location. Alnwick was lovely, and everything was within easy reach. A real gem.

Lovely Apartment in a great location. It was very clean and looked great in all the rooms. The welcome basket was a super surprise. We all loved the themed rooms and decor.

United KingdomWe were blessed with fantastic weather, and it would have been good to have been able to open the windows in lower level rooms, not just velux windows in upper level for more ventilation.
Wonderful duplex apartment right in the centre of Alnwick but very quiet at night. A great selection of restaurants within walking distance and a great base to explore the beautiful Northumberland towns, beaches, and castles. Very well equipped, including dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods. Everything in the apartment looked brand new. Super comfy beds and great showers. Parking disc provided allows for 2 hours parking outside of property, which is sufficient for unloading and loading car. There are plenty of free 24 hour long stay car parks within a 3-minute walk.
