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 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 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.).

Comfortable for our one night stay. Had dinner in their restaurant which was lovely. Lovely hot shower. Bathroom quite large. We were on top floor so lots of stairs. Breakfast you had a choice of a hot one. It is limited selection wise but my pancakes were lovely. Quiet location,

United Kingdomfriendly staff, gammon for dinner was quite good, breakfast average, bacon and mushrooms very well done, options a bit limited. Twin room clean and comfortable but in the attic, not easy to access with golf clubs. Overall pretty good and fair value for money.

United KingdomHotel is in need of refurbishment. Our room had peeling wallpaper and the toilet flush didn't always work. Would request a room on a lower floor another time as we had a lot of stairs to climb.
Good attentive service. Location perfect for the places we wanted to visit. Good to have parking available. Nice substantial breakfast.

United KingdomThe room was very noisey in the morning due to traffic and deliveries. The shower had little pressure and was not very hot. There was dead flies in bathroom. Room was not cleaned after first night. Breakfast could be better. Not enough information given at breakfast _ had to ask for milk, that was kept in a pint bottle . Second day shared the milk with two other tables!
Location was good. The room was a great size. Friendly staff.

United KingdomFirst night no heating in the room or bathroom, reason given "forgot to turn it on". Second night still no heating in the room or bathroom. Third night still no heating in the room or bathroom. Both rooms needed heat, it was chilly. The hotel has a restaurant with a very decent menu and offers bar snacks, but on Bank Holiday Sunday evening there was no food available, I was offered a bag of crisps. That was disappointing.
Room was fine, bathroom was fine. Parking was good. Hearty breakfast available.

United KingdomWe've visited Rothbury many time over the last 30 years and have stayed at the Queen's Head Hotel and had many enjoyable family meals there. It's an old building and although it was refurbished a few years ago you have to accept that it's not a new building so there's some creaks and knocked corners.

United KingdomThe breakfast was horrible. The bacon and sausage were so under cooked they were almost raw. The toast looked like it had been threatened with a toaster. My wife wasn't even offered any toast with her breakfast. I had one piece of sausage and the hash brown and left the rest. Not the best way to start your day. We ended up going to the shop further along the street and bought a couple of pies. As for the place itself they have spoiled what was a lovely local pub and ripped the heart out of it by turning it into a eaterie.
The fact that we were able to check-in early was good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomThere is a sign saying reception, yet when you look into the room it's basically where the glasses are cleaned and there was nobody in there. Might be easier if check in was just at the bar. Other than that I couldn't fault the place, and will definitely stay again.
Beautiful room. Comfortable bed. Lovely bar and restaurant area. Lovely breakfast.
