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.).

United KingdomThe walls between rooms are very thin, so you could hear everything going on, which was a nuisance when the people next door came back at 3:45am and had conversations and kept opening and closing doors. It was also extremely hot, even though we kept our window open all the time, and radiators off. It was only March, so can't imagine what it will be like in summer.
Very close to where our daughter is living while in uni. Had available parking, which was convenient. Staff were very friendly.

United KingdomHotel bar ran out of John Smith's beer on first day. Takes 3 days to restock? Room a strange shape, have to climb over bed to get to shower. TV would benefit from being on a swivel. Shower extractor fan on constantly. Hotel kitchen extractor fan blowing till after 11pm. In fairness hotel does offer free ear plugs. No lift. Paintwork needs a refresh.

United KingdomThe radiator in the bathroom was ridiculously hot & could not be turned off. With it being so very close to the sink my partner & I did burn ourselves several times. There was a slight stain on one of the bathroom towels we were provided with, but easily avoided and surely would have been replaced if necessary.
The staff are very friendly, negotiable & attentive. The room given was very cosy, clean & comfortable. Although the location of the hotel has a very lively nightlife, there were no disturbances whatsoever.

United KingdomThe parking arrangements aren't the best due to limited space you basically have to be blocked in if you didn't plan on going back out on the day you get there which is a little restricting and we wanted to get and go early but unfortunately couldn't as we were blocked in a didn't want to disturb the guest that had blocked us in as they're there to relax too so we were hanging around for a couple of hours before asking the staff to contact them. The only other downside I found was the walls are quite thin and you can hear a lot of noise if you're a light sleeper then maybe this isn't the best for you. It's lively outside on the street up until 11pm and then the bars close so again if you want an early night it may be hard for you and them guests were walking down the corridor talking at the top of their voices and showing a severe lack of respect but I soon put a stop to that confronting them for their inconsiderate behaviour. It's clearly a common problem as there is a sign in the room saying ear plugs available on request. Other than that it was a lovely stay and I would certainly stay again in the future.
Staff were friendly and helpful gave us a warm greeting and explained everything we needed to know. The Superior room we had was spacious and very comfortable and clean.

CyprusNothing that would keep us from choosing Cairn next time we're in Newcastle.
Room was exactly what we expected as the photos are very accurate. It was a bit chilly at first until we figured out how to use the heater. Other than that clean and comfortable. Light switches and outlets for our chargers are usefully placed near each nightstand. The smart Samsung TV was a highlight since we had galaxy devices and we streamed directly to the TV. Shower was spacious and functional with warm water always available and it felt clean. Location was really good for us. The hotel is under 10 minutes from the nearest Metro station (West Jesmond) and 2-3 very short stops from the centre (Monument or Haymarket). Near the hotel there's a Pharmacy, a Tesco Express and a Sainsbury's Local (small Supermarkers) and various coffee places and restaurants all within a 10-minute walk. Breakfast wasn't out of this world but it was good for 10£. The buffet included couple of fruits like apples and mandarins, a few baked goods that felt very fresh like croissants and pain au chocolat as well as English breakfast options of sausages, bacon, baked tomatoes and mushrooms. There was also a toaster for bread (and there was butter, margarine and marmalade).

United KingdomWe were in room 504 and whilst the room was lovely, it was absolutely sweltering, even with the window open during the afternoon/evening and with the fan on over night. No radiators were on but myself and my other half barely slept due to the excessive heat in the room. We also couldn't leave the window open whilst we tried to sleep with the noise from the bar downstairs and surrounding areas. I also have MS which heat heavily impacts and woke up in alot of pain this morning due to the temperatures in the room.
Parking on site. Friendly welcoming. Room was clean.
