Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe single track lane from Coldingham village to the beach can get a bit busy in high season but there are passing places.
Superbly equipped flat in a quiet location overlooking Coldingham Bay. Easy access to A1 road to explore the borders country, River Tweed and the coastline from Edinburgh to Alnick all within an hour's drive. Wide range of supermarkets & restaurants in Berwick-upon-Tweed with top ups locally from Eyemouth Coop or Coldingham Spar. Surfing or hiking for the energetic or rock-pooling, crabbing, fishing or just admiring the views for the more leisurely days.

United KingdomThis property is absolutely incredible — even better than the photos! Everything was spotlessly clean, brand new, and perfectly maintained. The design is elegant and tasteful, and the space is simply stunning. It was so comfortable and pleasant that we truly didn’t want to leave. We were also touched by the thoughtful welcome treats that had been left for us. There were games available, toys for our child, and even something for the dogs — every member of the family was considered! The attention to detail and the care for guests is truly exceptional. The location itself is breathtaking, set in a beautifully scenic area with a lovely beach nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are genuinely grateful to the hosts for creating such a warm and beautiful place. You can really feel how much love and effort has gone into it. We would return in a heartbeat!

United KingdomThere was nothing about the flat we did not like. The only observation we had was the cooker hood was of a height that we both hit our head when cooking on the the hob. We also thought where would a visitor park their car.
We both loved the flat. The flat had a full kitchen / lounge so we could cook any meal from breakfast to dinner. The lounge area was really nice and had large floor to ceiling window and sliding panel. The two bedrooms were a good size and also had the same large window with sliding door so the views were panoramic. The garden is great for relaxing and looking out over Coldingham Bay. The location of the flat is perfect for visiting border towns including Berwick-upon- Tweed. Having private parking is a great advantage This flat is one of the best holiday accommodation we have have been in.

United KingdomOne insignificant oversight. I asked for bed two as a double but it was singles. Not a big deal.
Such an impressive apartment from the moment you arrive. Everything is impeccable from the enclosed garden to the interior. The best quality everything. Glass walls open every room to the garden and you can see the sea. It makes you comfortable and relaxed. It is also located a couple of minutes away from a special beach. We took the dogs on twice a day because it’s so close. An experience we’ll never forget. Communication from the owners is fantastic; even including a welcome pack. Hopefully we’ll be back.

United KingdomIt had the ‘wow’ factor when we drove up. Modern, comfortable, cozy, beautiful inside and out. You could hear the waves as we opened the door. The apartment has everything you need and the welcome pack, along with the Christmas decorations was a nice treat. We had a very relaxing stay, enjoying walks to St Abs, Coldingham Village, and you are minutes from the beautiful beach. We had beautiful sunsets and sunrises from the apartment. You can see the sea through the hedge. Our weather was excellent for this time of year. We came to relax and eat out at local restaurants and we did both. Our mini dachshunds loved the secure garden area. Such a beautiful place, setting, with tasteful decor throughout.
