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 KingdomCould have done with a little more toilet paper to start with for 6 people. Also a J cloth/dishcloth and a sponge would have been useful for wiping down the large counter top and for washing up bits and pieces. Waterworks very noisy but this probably can't be helped. We had a burst shower hose upstairs which flooded the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms on Sunday afternoon. This was dealt with promptly however there should be a clearly documented emergency number in the folder at the top of the general blurb. Also the instructions for finding the stopcock were not very clear when water is pouring through the ceiling and one is in a panic!
Very good location being in a very quiet part within easy walking distance of the town centre. Parking was fine for our 4 cars. Kitchen/downstairs lounge great for dining/entertaining. Beds comfy but no bedside table for second bed in front twin room.

United KingdomSome of the kitchen could have done with more thorough cleaning,. In the downstairs bathroom the shower handle is damaged and the dial to show the settings is loose and therefore not much use. There were a number of dead houseplants around which was strange in somewhere otherwise nicely furnished.
Great location for touring the area, parking was not always easy as it is in an area of narrow streets. Quiet and comfortable house with good range of cooking equipment.

United KingdomThe only criticism (and this is me being picky) was that the decor of the bedrooms / living areas didn’t match the kitchen & bathroom decor vibes but still luxurious beds & cosy living areas.
Arrived to a big hamper on the kitchen island filled with tea / coffee / wine / biscuits / crisps. Gorgeous house - especially kitchen & both bathrooms. Beds were really comfy. Easy to gain access (I received an email the day before with code to door lock).

United KingdomThe main family bathroom upstairs - water leak from sky light had made the wall ‘bubble’ slightly. Had been for some time by the look of it. Wasn’t a big issue to us but thought it was worth mentioning.
The welcome box and milk was a lovely touch. The stair gate we requested had just arrived as we got there. Most definitely needed for our twins

United KingdomNothing major. However, be aware that neither the fan oven nor the dishwasher have been bolted in properly and tip forward when the doors are opened. It would have been nice if the previous visitors’ bins had been removed from the back garden.
Lovely, spacious house in the centre of Alnwick. Comfortable bedrooms and two well equipped bathrooms. Perfect for up to eight people. The kitchen/dining area was a super space to hang out for meals, games and chat. The little back court was also lovely and would be even nicer in the summer. We all had a great holiday and would book again. Excellent value for money.

United KingdomThere were a lot of balls of dust around the property (behind lamps/tables) and all house plants were dead. In the large green bedroom there was a large patch of mould/damp in the corner of the ceiling which was quite off putting.
The location was perfect, nice very spacious property to accommodate a large family.

United States of AmericaWe had a somewhat weird experience with heating and the drying racks in the bathrooms, but the owner/representative was quite responsive.
Location, roominess, furnishings, kitchen facilities - all amazing!
