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 KingdomThe beds were comfortable for the 2 nights, but I wouldn't want to have stayed longer than that. The sofa to watch TV from was not very comfortable. It would help also to have more shelves in bedrooms and bathrooms to be able to place personal items.
The flat was spacious enough for 4 of us, it was good to have one room with twin beds rather than two double beds. There was milk in the fridge, so we could make tea immediately, which was nice.

United KingdomDidn't like having to leave!
Stayed here in the top floor apartment for 3 nights with my wife and our 10 year old son. It is a fantastic apartment wiyh fresh decor and in great location (within easy walking distace of Ouseburn area which we love, and a few minutes walk to Jesmond Metro station). City centre is further but still walkable. Host was welcoming and knowledgeable with some great pointers for eateries, attractions etc. The apartment was SPOTLESS and the dedicated parking spot was much appreciated - I didn't drive for three wonderful days! Highly recommended.

GermanyAfter many years we visited Newcastle again, this time with the children. The accommodation had to fit and it was! Friendly landlords, central location, optimal bus and train connections (Jesmond). You could also get into the city quickly on foot. The rooms were spacious, clean and the kitchen had everything you need. Thank you for the wonderful time with you! We'd love to come back!

United KingdomOne small thing - It was very hot in bedrooms with only one fan and too noisy to keep the windows open. Only one key for back door which meant you needed to leave in key box as other apartments in block, so when you locked door you had to then walk around apartment block, key code on all other doors very convenient.
The apartment was clean and well furnished. Good location, local pub few minutes walk and few shops for breakfast. Great free car parking. Good communication from hosts.

United KingdomIt was a lovely place that accommodated me and my group of friends. I was concerned about the sleeping arrangements as there was five and was worried someone would have to seep on the sofa, however when we turned up a 3rd bed had been placed in the spare room. The place was clean and modern and filled with all the necessities. They were very welcoming and easy to book and contact if I had any concerns. The area was lovely and there was no worries about safety if you would like to stay with your family. It is a good 15- 20 minute walk from city centre however it’s very easy to book an Uber. Highly recommend.

United KingdomThe only slight issue we had was the parking as we have a long coupe car which was quite hard to fit in the space but we still managed it and there are other parking options nearby which the owners were really helpful with.
The property and the service we received was perfect. It was really clean and modern and had a lot of quirky features / decor. It was really close to the centre (only a short walk away) and had local pubs and shops which were nice too. The owners were lovely and available at any time during our stay for anything we needed and they checked to see if everything was up to standard and that everything was okay. When we arrived there was complimentary tea, coffee, milk and water and shower gels / shampoos to use. Free parking was also available which was really useful. The whole apartment was pretty soundproof and not much sound was heard at all. Thank you for a lovely stay we will definitely book again when returning to Newcastle.
