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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThere was a mechanical noise that distubed our sleep. It was not possible to stop it or move our room.
Its a good model. Tastefully maintained period property, good sevice, good food. And they allow dogs (in some places only).

United KingdomIf there was one thing I would say the bed was too hard.
Stunning gardens including a maze to walk around. Waking up to birdsong was a treat . The food is excellent and the restaurant is set out beautifully with candlelit tables for dinner . Small ‘no fuss’ spa that felt just right for us - pool , sauna,steam, jacuzzi. We didn’t have treatments . Great location for exploring Northumberland. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful and our stay at Doxford Hall felt special.

United KingdomNot much choice for food, on a evening, although it was delicious no simple dishes or bar meals. Breakfast was excellent. Lack of seating areas on an evening, bar area used for meals & circular room had a Lack of tables/seating. Hotel extremely remote, nowhere to walk to, which may suit some people.
Style of hotel & decor was elegant, staff were lovely, beautiful grounds especially the maze. Good size room with a beautiful bathroom. Very dog friendly, (we didn't have one!) Which made the hotel feel welcoming! Didn't use pool or spa facilities.

United KingdomLighting in the bar & restaurant was too bright and the lights outside our room were on too bright & too long which lit up the room, even with the curtains closed
Location for Alnwick & Lindisfarne was excellent. The room was large & comfortable. Food was excellent with service to match. Loved the grounds but unfortunately, were unable to have a try at the maze.
