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 KingdomThere was nothing I disliked.
I thoroughly enjoyed my two night stay, and would happily have stayed for longer. The bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed in the room, including a kettle, tea and coffee. Even a dressing gown was provided. Wi-fi connectivity was great. The shared bathroom was next door to it, with good pressure in the shower. Sean could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The continental breakfast he provided set me up nicely for the day. His house is only a two minute walk from the railway station, and there are 'bus stops just round the corner. It takes only a few minutes by 'bus to reach the town centre - or 15 to 20 minutes in foot. I thought this property offered excellent value for money, and would not hesitate to recommend it and to stay there again.

United KingdomIt didn't affect us but be aware some rooms share a bathroom.
The house is on a quiet side street and our ensuite room was very comfy and quiet. The arrival instructions were very clear and our host very helpful. The morning continental breakfast was a bonus, it was a casual arrangement to help ourselves. For room hot drinks it was good to have real milk from the shared fridge on the landing. We walked to the Kynren show which took us around 35 minutes (the Kynren path down the hill after the bridge took us 10 mins).

United KingdomNothing it was great, maybe a fresher smell, it was quite old, had a elderly smell especially with the bedsheets, but can understand if that's their main clientele.
Warm and welcoming, big room, nice bed, good quality tv, definitely shocking considering the price (in a good way) felt like it should be at least double for a night.

United KingdomThere wasn't much to dislike really, for what we wanted it was ideal, one thing if I wanted to advise rather say dislike, is the bathroom, when you come out in the dark, it's a few feet before sensor turns light on, when unsteady on feet can be unnerving, but something easily put right.
Our stay was our second visit, which tells you a lot in itself, and it didn't disappoint, we were welcomed by friendly host, who could not have been more helpful, It is in a perfect situation, close to many place for food, and a supermarket within walking distance, will certainly be returning at some point.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast. The place was spotlessly clean, and the host went above and beyond—exceptionally friendly and incredibly helpful. For the price, it was an absolute steal, especially with breakfast included. The location couldn’t have been more convenient—just a stone’s throw from the train station—and the check-in process was smooth and easy. I would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomUnfortunately as this location is near a hospital. The on street parking require a permit for specific hours. Thankfully the host is able to provide parking permits for guests for these times. But as it is public street parking, spaces can be limited.
Best value I found in County Durham. The host Sean was very friendly and made sure to welcome me and explain the available facilities.
