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 KingdomSlightly more attention to dust!
Room was furnished to a good standard, bathroom was OK with shower over bath. Coffee/tea available. Complimentary water. The room was rather dusty and towel rail could have been cleaned better but overall we enjoyed the stay. Lots of steps up and down to the bedroom might not suit some people. Excellent breakfast choice.

United KingdomUnfortunately I didn't realise booking a standard double meant the bed would be so bad. The bed is one of the most important things during a hotel stay, I appreciate different people like different mattress but this mattress was so old it squeaked and echoed when you moved, we could feel the hexagonal metal springs jabbing into our side so the first night stay was terrible and not much sleep at all. I was quite upset as I could have stayed in a chain hotel with a much better bed for half the price. We did however ask reception for a mattress topper for the second night and the house keeping brought us a feather topper which some what helped disguise the springs a little better. It's worth also noting this is a small standard double bed so if you need more space, you would want to book a different room type. The shower was very small, I am small but this was a squash and the positioning of the shower head was very strange. The air con did not appear to work, we asked reception to turn it on for us but nothing seemed to come out and with it being a listed building you can't actually open the window to the outside only the inner PVC window. Which would be fine, except without the air con it was quite hot as we stayed in a bit of a heat wave. The room was a little tired looking and stains on the chair and carpets but overall it wasn't unclean just a little old.
The location was great, expected road noise so this didn't bother us much. The exterior was nice and the hotel staff were helpful and friendly. The downstairs bar was very nice but we didn't get to try it out as they had an issue with card payments when we went in. But it seemed popular and had great decor. The room was a good enough size for a standard double. The room decor was nice with the historic building wallpaper. I'd consider staying again if the price was cheaper for what you get or an offer on an upgrade with better comfort. I was able to add an extra night prior due to train strikes the next day and I appreciated the ease of this as it was already stressful.

United KingdomNothing really .
This is a perfect location for leisure and visiting Newcastle . It's a lovley boutique Hotel and very instagrammy ! The rooms are nice and have everything you need . The bar and breakfast areas are nice and the hotel has a good vibe . The staff were lovley all the girls from reception to the breakfast room were friendly. It's in the hub for nightlife and on a busy road but keep the windows closed and you're ok . We had breakfast which was good value .

AustraliaThe bed size could have possibly been larger, although it was a double room, so to be expected. Doors closing a little noisy at certain peak times, but again only to be expected really. We enjoyed our stay.
We liked the central location of the property. The staff were very accomodating and friendly. The room was clean, and had everything you needed. We liked the lovely restaurant/bar downstairs- very handy.

IrelandThe room could have been cleaner. Dust on top shelf in wardrobe dust on reading lamp, dried up toothpaste on side of sink. Easily accessible cobweb in the bathroom. It just didn't feel clean considering nowadays the expense of staying anywhere. Also the price for breakfast!!! I would suggest don't bother. We didn't. Lots of great places to eat at far more reasonable prices.
The location was very good. The staff were friendly. For what we needed it suited.

United KingdomA small thing but we had to phone reception to have the air con adjusted (rather than have 'in room' control to choose a temperature below 19), this was sorted within 30 mins, so for our second night the temperature was more suited to us.
Great location for central Newcastle, the staff were friendly & helpful. The breakfast was very nice & cooked to (my very specific) order, would recommend eating at the restaurant within the hotel, Leila Lily's (good value for residents). The White Company toiletries provided smelled divine. Due to the quirky conversion of this Georgian building, be aware that there will very likely be a few steps to navigate to get to your room.
