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 KingdomLovely large modern loft style apartment with stunning views of the estuary and sea. You could spend a whole day watching sea birds from the big balcony. 3 great pubs 5 mins walk away that all did excellent food at great prices. Lots of castles to visit within 40 mins drive.

United KingdomWe couldn’t use the rear parking as we have a large car, but not a big issue as we did find free parking in front of the property. Some of the kitchen equipment could do with replacing and sky tv was glitchy.
Amazing views and perfect location! Very clean and spacious with high quality fittings and lots of tech. Nice village with good places to eat and lovely walks along the coast.

United KingdomOn arrival - initially quite complex system of obtaining keys / entrance. If you are arriving in the dark make sure you have some form of illumination. Parking - We had the ground floor and the locked 1 x parking space allocated at the rear of the property is the smallest of the three (one for each floor). This was challenging, if not impossible to get our SUV into due to the narrow alley and cars parked opposite. I would also question if the top box would have been fitted this would cause height issues to. However, we rented out of season and there was an abundance free parking outside the front of the property which is currently without restrictions / payment. During the weekend it was busier during the daylight low tide periods. Summer / school holidays could present some challenges having access to this free parking. Sewage smell around the lift / entrance hall area - very occasional and can only link this to the sewage outflow and tides / rain conditions. This smell was also noted on walks in certain areas of the beach but not everywhere. High technology flat fittings - not all worked and some the electric blind shutters were jammed in the closed position. Could not work out how to shut the conservatory blinds - perhaps rectify this before the spring weather ramps up.
Th local was exactly what we were looking for. The floor space was massive and more than comfortable for 6 people and two dogs. Alnmouth itself was perfect - restaurants (good quality) and other high end food shops. Would we use again? Yes :-)

Garden and middle floor flats. Very spacious and luxurious accommodation. Lovely views over River and sea beyond. Well equipped with en suite bathrooms for all bedrooms. Modern well appointed kitchen with everything you need for self catering for a group to a high standard. Living areas very spacious. Excellent central heating, Air Conditioning and lighting.

United KingdomThe beds heights.. Extremely low probably less than 18 inches. No good for those with mobility issues which is ironic bearing in mind general accessibility is ideal with the lift. Anyone booking on that basis would possibly be unable to then access the beds. One of our party had to place spare pillows and duvets on their bed to heighten it.. If we had been full capacity they wouldnt have managed. Very unusual for such a high spec apartment.
The setting and the stunning high spec interior of the apartment. A couple of things needed fixing, one of the ovens and the bathroom radiators but both were dealt with.

United KingdomSome minor additions would have been helpful - a hoover or dustpan and brush to clear up the sand which we inevitably brought in from the beach. Some salt and pepper, kitchen towel.
Beatiful apartment with a fantastic view of and easy access to the beach and esturary. Spacious, well designed and comfortable. Kitted out with high end appliances. Will be happy to return. The communal play room and washroom also useful.

United KingdomThe lift smelt of sewage, it got worse during the week. The tech was unreliable. The TV cut in and out constantly. The freezer drawer wouldn't shut and wouldn't keep temperature. The wine cooler wouldn't cool below 18. Our shower (the smaller double room) sprayed water all over the place, the screen is too short, had to mop up all the time (but there was no mop). The toilet flushed as soon as you got anywhere near it. I could go on and on.
The house is full of tech and quite quirky. The view over the estuary and beach are stunning. The main kitchen and lounge are lovely light filled rooms.

United KingdomSome of the 'mod cons' in the apartment are a little style-over-substance, and there are some signs of wear and tear. We couldn't get the Sky to work. Some of the kitchen cabinet cupboards were difficult to open (the push device no longer worked). We could only get one of the blinds in the bedroom to open from the lounge keypad. On the last day the heating stopped working, although it was fine before then, quite toasty. The kitchen fridge is bizarre - very strange design - and the sink tap is really annoying! I was also a bit freaked out by the fact that the lift opens directly into the apartment! There is a code, and a front door key, but it still gave me the heebie-jeebies! I guess I've seen too many horror movies! However, none of these things actually mattered to me, because the living space was lovely and the views were complete and utterly gorgeous. I don't care about a fridge when I can stare out at the beautiful sunrise....
This apartment is 100% about the VIEWS! We loved this apartment. It is huge. The views are absolutely stunning, and the main living area is a really lovely design, with exposed beams, felt a bit like a trendy seaside loft apartment. There is loads of space. The layout was great, nicely furnished. The bedrooms were nice - one double and two twins, all en suite. Beds were comfy. Showers were good. I had to contact the management company for a couple of minor things, who responded straight away. There is a lovely big balcony - we were there in December so we spent limited time on it. I would return here in a heartbeat - despite the issues below, we absolutely loved it!

United KingdomThe electronic blinds! They didn’t all work - for example we had to put a blanket up to cover the main living room window. There were a few examples of areas where the owner had spent far more money than necessary on things that weren’t actually that functional (such as the fridge/freezer, ironing board). Cheaper alternatives would actually have worked far better
Absolutely stunning location, could not have been any better. The apartment itself was enormous - huge rooms, high ceilings, loads of storage. My son absolutely loved the games room too - especially the arcade machine. The layout was excellent, and we were very pleased to be able to find somewhere dog friendly in such a wonderful location. Off street parking a bonus too - think 3 cars would struggle to fit (one from each apartment), but we had a roof box on ours and could get under the garage door in the first spot (we later found out the second door was too low!!). However, on street parking was not a problem and often got a space pretty much right outside

United KingdomSome of the apartment is slightly style over substance/should be fixed or removed e.g. the Bose sound system doesn't run through the apartment (but does work in the living room), the electronic blinds in the living room need fixing (the solar power clearly doesn't work) and there needs to be far more cutlery!
Absolutely stunning location. The penthouse opens up fully to the sea view and you are on the beach in a stone's throw. The apartment is well set up and the lift to the penthouse is a great addition! The parking is limited to one space but even when busy it's usually possible to get a space outside the apartment for extra cars if you drive around a little bit. The local town is lovely albeit slightly quirky with opening hours! Dogs are welcome in the apartment and also almost everywhere in the town.
