How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

As former student of the city I knew the exact location of the apartment. Nice quiet area within 5 -10 mins walk of Haymarket metro, 10 minutes walk to up and coming Ouseburn area decent food cafe round the corner, very clean, good security in place. WiFi good.. Good clear communication from hosts. Would highly recommend!!!

Our stay was amazing, beds were comfortable, appartment was clean and such a great location for going out and seeing the universities which was the main purpose of our stay. We recieved a call when we got in to check everything was up to standards and the owner was helpful in guiding us on the public transport. Absolutely couldn’t fault anything.

It 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.

The 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.

You need to travel a little bit to get to the best bits of Newcastle, but you're trading location for price. Parking was extremely tight for 2 cars in a 3 apartment house.
Very nice apartments in a decent area, very close to Jesmond Metro station, pubs, cool breakfast spots.
