Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, 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 like 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 KingdomComfort:- The walls seem hollow & you can hear guests in next room & bathroom. Doors in property also slam, maybe could do with a softener/silencer? Blind nearly blacks out the light from the window but light shines through the sides, if you're easily woken by light/sound I'd suggest taking ear plugs & a sleep mask.
Staff:- Plenty of information in rooms as what to do/who to contact if needing anything. Nice corresponding email a week before arriving. No staff seen during stay but the idea of the bunkhouse is more like a hostel rather than a B&B where you just help yourself. Facilities:- Shower pressure & heat was lovely. Towels, bedding & toilet roll all provided. Nice communal kitchen with all the commodities needed & spacious bedroom for the family. Wife said a kettle in bedroom would be nice but kitchen is literally next door. Not much room for sharing in kitchen fridge but 2nd fridge/freezer located downstairs near entrance. Bike storage is excellent, located on site in lock ups that easily hold 4 or more bikes at no extra cost. Comfort:- The mattresses aren't premier inn but I can't say I had a bad night's sleep. The communal kitchen can get a tad overcrowded if everyone's using it at the same time but I did find it useful when it was raining so we could wait till it passed & in the meantime have a spot of lunch/cuppa whilst watching TV. Value:- Great value for a family of 4 & compared to other hotels in the area. I've tried nearly everywere Newcastleton has to offer over the years & I'd say this is good if you're looking to use it just a go between i.e. sleeping/washing & nothing else. Location:- More or less situated bang in the middle of the village with all your local commodities like shops, pubs, bus stop, petrol station & walks/bike trails all within walking distance.

United KingdomTin opener that works!! More kitchen knives, only one made cooking a meal for 6 a logistics issue. Too many written instructions provided beforehand when most of them were in writing in the building. A panscrub and some washing up liquid would be useful to shift the stuff the dishwasher doesn't.
Location and facilities superb. Overall a fantastic experience. Bike storage pods very helpful and secure.
