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 KingdomBeautiful location. Very peaceful with amazing views. Easy to get to Rothbury, which has everything you need. Not far from the Coast or Inland too. The cottage itself is gorgeous. Deceptively spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The bed and bath were amazing!! We both had the best nights sleep ever! The patio is an added bonus which we luckily managed to make use of. Communication with the owners was exellent too.

AustraliaThese are easily 'fixable' things, but a blind/curtain in the lounge and kitchen that can be completely closed for privacy would be good, and the Bathroom towels 'have seen better days' and unfortunately lower the excellent standard of the accommodation.
'Little Heatherlea' is a cosy apartment providing most of the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. Our host was friendly and greeted us on arrival. The information booklet was informative with restaurants and things to do around Rothbury. The highlight for us was having a 'King' double bed, which made getting a great night's sleep possible.

United KingdomThere wasn’t any hand soap in the bathroom until we found some under the sink and with bookings like this there does tend to be body wash in the shower that felt it was a miss. As we had a very warm weekend, it was also a shame that we couldn’t have our own ice as there’s no freezer compartment in the fridge but the owners did let us have some from their house.
An amazing location and such a nice space inside with a very comfortable bed. Appreciated a well stocked kitchen also! We were in the perfect location to view the northern lights this weekend!

An excellent property in great location for exploring Upper Coquetdale. Well equipped cottage with some nice personal touches such as the wide selection of books which we enjoyed browsing. The information on the history of the house greatly was appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and probably was the biggest I have ever slept in. Great walks from the door. Including easy access on to the National Trust's Cragside Estate. Only 5 minutes walk to village.

United KingdomWe do not like synthetic bedding and would have preferred feather pillows but we do understand that we are probably unusual!
This comfortable cottage was an ideal base from which to explore an interesting area. The kitchen was well equipped; the bed was very large and comfortable; lighting throughout was good; and the host was very friendly and obliging. It was good to have on-site parking. There was outside seating and it was quiet overnight. The village of Rothbury provided for our shopping needs including fresh artisan bread.
