Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomWould have l enjoyed slightly bigger portion of veg on the evening meal as they were very small - but the meal was delicious.
The staff were super friendly and nothing too much trouble. The room was lovely as was the food.

The building has loads of character and lots of history, with a small derelict castle section still standing.

United KingdomThe decor was top notch, the beds were comfortable, especially after I'd walked 125 miles in a week along the Pennine Way. The showers were hot & it was great to be able to walk just a short way to the restaurant where the meals were good.

United KingdomNo negatives really apart from the broken plug in the sink in the bathroom - this didn't cause any problems however.
A very good breakfast was included in out room rate. We ate in the restaurant on the evening of our arrival and the food and service was very good. The hotel doubles as a pub for the locals in the attached retirement complex and we got chatting with some of the locals who were a really friendly bunch. Staff in the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent location for visiting the local attractions of Hadrians Wall and Vindolanda.

United KingdomTwin room on the ground floor with an accessible bathroom (but the room was too small for a wheelchair or anything like that and had steps to get in). The bathroom was not great, the shower was barely worth it, no way I could wash my hair in the drip of water it was not powerful in any way- yet the tap sink was so powerful and loud!
Gorgeous food in the restaurant- had a call a few hours before arrival asking if we wanted to book a table which was much appreciated. Breakfast pancakes special was delicious, and never had such a lovely steak. Very quiet place. Nice to see the castle ruins.

United KingdomI wish there'd been a bath!
The food was good! The chips in the pub are the best. Jaz also helped carry my bag after a gruelling 35km hike over the middle of the wall. Really comfortable room too. Proper oasis.

NetherlandsTo get to this accommodation on our bicycles, we had to use the A-road. Fortunately there is a little side-path that can be followed and on our way back, we noticed that there is even an underpass. Maybe this underpass is safe to use, but it is well hidden and maybe it is no longer in use. Would recommend looking better as crossing the A-road is not very nice.
The accommodation has various rooms. Ours was of a good size with simple decorations. The on-side restaurant is very convenient and good price/quality. The environment is quiet at night. Breakfast was very good.

NetherlandsEh… if I have to put something… shower pressure? 🚿 Mah, we figured it out.
Oh my… what a gem of a place. We had the fortune of arriving on quiz night, which had a super nice atmosphere! 🥰 The dinner we had was just perfect, so nice and a great beer! The room we stayed was so nice, looked amazing outside and in. Clean and comfy, well stocked. Then breakfast, no buffet, ordered high quality breakfast. Wow! We were sorry to leave, and will store this gem! 💎 dear reader of this review, thinking about staying here.. why haven’t you booked yet? Quickly quickly!!
