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.).

Nothing could have been better, except staying longer.
The location was excellent -- charming village -- lovely for walking on the beach -- excellent breakfast -- room both comfortable and elegant -- and the owner, Harvey, couldn't have been more gracious or helpful. His place has my highest recommendation.

there wasn't anything that we could find wrong. we were happy with everything. and we can't wait to get booked in with you again sometime.
what can I say. Harvey was a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and informative of eateries, where to go etc, the room was very spacious and comfortable relaxing. we had the St Cuthbert room and honestly it was brilliant clean comfy not too warm and we had a brill night sleep. we then woke early on the morning and took a walk down to the beach then once we got back we had our breakfast and i must say it was a lovely variety of breakfast on the menu with cereals etc for you to choose from too. honestly everything was great and we hope to come again soon for a coupe of days rather than just one night. and Roxy the resident dog is just the cutest we loved giving her tummy rubs x

Nothing - all good.
The welcome and the efforts that our host Harvey put in to make us comfortable was exceptional. The room was spacious and very well appointed with an enormous bed, tremendous shower and even a large bath. Breakfast was entirely to order as we choose rather than keeping to a menu.

Perfect B&B in the middle of Alnmouth, a lovely little village on the coast of Northumberland. The room was beautiful and luxurious, the bed really comfortable and the bathroom/toiletries first class. Harvey was the perfect host and cooked wonderful breakfasts! We wouldn't hesitate to return again when visiting the area.

Thank you to Harvey (and Roxy) for being an accommodating, charming host and for a fantastic weekend! Room was large, incredibly clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options to choose from, served between reasonable hours. Would recommend to anyone interested in staying in the area and will be visiting again in the future.

Wow! What a gem of a place! Harvey and Roxy the dog gave us the warmest welcome, lots of recommendations too! The B+B was amazing in every way and a perfect location, so close to the gorgeous beach, pubs, restaurants and a good base for coastal walks. The breakfasts were incredible too! Lots of choice, delicious and fresh, perfectly cooked plus we really enjoyed the coffee and chats each morning.

Absolutely loved our stay at St Valery. Harvey was so welcoming and a fantastic host. Rooms are fantastic and comfortable. Breakfast was second to none. The highlight of the property has to be the wonderful Roxy! Can't fault this beautiful b&b. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to all friends and family.
