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.).

Stayed for one night in a single room. I was surprised to find a double bed! Room had everything you may need. Bed on the hard side, but I managed a reasonable nights sleep. Host very helpful and friendly. Can't comment on breakfast as I didn't book one.

United KingdomI’d upgraded to the family room to get en suite and some space. It housed a double bed and 2 singles (double bed really comfy) but I would’ve liked an armchair, though to be fair, with sleeping for 4 in the room I’m not sure there would be room for a chair. Other rooms may have this.
Very comfortable bed. I upgraded to get an en suite which was lovely with a good shower. Friendly host. Privacy guaranteed. Walking distance to a park and the beach and lots of restaurants and takeouts. Parking on street is fine - always found a space. Breakfast was phenomenal! And although I had no dog, being a dog friendly guest house is a bonus. Also very quiet. Plenty room for clothing. Unlimited tea/coffee/milk and plenty choices of tea. Free view tv and free wifi (decent strength).

United KingdomThe only downsides would be the bed , was a smaller double bed and wasn’t that comfortable. Room was very warm even with window open.
Great location , clean , staff very friendly and welcoming, on-suit bathroom was great. Rooms very up to date and stylish , B&B on a whole very up to date. Couldn’t fault the breakfast, plenty to chose from , great value for money.

United KingdomSecure storage for our bicycles in the yard, would have been good if they had been covered, but fortunately it was a dry night so all was fine.
Very good location for the end of the Hadrian's Cycleway in South Shields. Very warm welcome from our host and a welcome beer from the quirkily and comfortably furnished lounge bar. Decent sized room well appointed with en suite and tea and coffee and biscuits and water. Wifi was excellent. Shower really good. Guest house well located for a range of restaurants within a very short walking distance. We only had time in the morning for something quick on toast with juice and coffee as we had a train to catch, but host was more than happy to accommodate our needs and timings and had we had more time, there was a full breakfast menu which sadly we missed! Would definitely recommend to others.
