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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Breakfast was good but it was about 150mtrs away at a cafe down the street, not very good in bad weather.

United KingdomA little disappointed that they didn't do breakfast, but they provided a 10% discount for breakfast at the cafe 200m along the road.
The room was very clean and comfortable and at the top of the hotel, so it was quiet. En-suite was great with lovely toiletries. We ate dinner at the hotel which was very good.

United KingdomHotel needs desperate refurbishment, all doors to rooms are different and stained, it has a very musty smell, the carpet on the stairs absolutely needs replacing, it's very very dirty!!!
Barstaff were absolutely fabulous! Room clean enough and very spacious, very cosy, nicely stocked with coffee, biscuits, an oat milk option, water. It was ok for two nights, whilst attending a wedding.

AustraliaNo fan so I had the window open, because of this the wind kept lifting up the man hole in the ceiling and dropping dust and dirt onto the bed.
Great sized room with a bath for a very sore hiker.

United KingdomNo one had told us that there wasn't any food available on the night we stayed. The other pub was fully booked so we ended up having a Chinese take-away
Perfect location in the centre of town, nice quiet room located at the back of the hotel. All facilities were good.

United KingdomWhen we first arrived our room was freezing as the heating wasn’t working but the staff got us an electric heater which worked perfectly. We didn’t realise how steep and narrow the stairs were, but again staff helped us carry up our heavy suitcase, thank you. No dedicated car park, so first come first served around the town, but free. No breakfast at the hotel but the nearby cafe was excellent with discount as we stayed at the Cheviot
The room was recently renovated, modern and clean, shower was excellent and we ate in the pub both nights, food was excellent too, large portions and tasty. Staff did there best to help us

United KingdomBooking-in was tricky barman was more concerned with the bar clientele. Using booking.com is not a good way to handle this fundamental task.
Our evening meal was taken at the hotel and my friends beef was the best my pizza was OK. Breakfast was taken locally at a café on their recommendation.

United KingdomThe bathroom was ultra-chic, with the most stylish taps, bowl and shower equipment, but they weren't very practical for the space, and splashed everywhere. Breakfast is not included and is not available on-site, though they have a deal with a B&B up the road to provide residents with a discounted breakfast. (But we made use of the tea/coffee-making facilities, and nipped across the road for a couple of almond croissants and a bottle of orange juice.)
The bedroom was very comfortable, elegantly furnished. The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was good, with excellent food. Bellingham is a very attractive village, and it's a beautiful area. 10/15 minute drive to Housesteads Fort on Hadrian's Wall.

United KingdomUndergone change of ownership and some previously valued services like in house breakfast and packed lunch service no longer available. During our previous stays the hotel has been full of walkers, fishermen and cyclists so early breakfast is important. Suggestion to go to a cafe down the road that doesn’t open till 8am is not an adequate alternative
Lovely pub in middle of nice little village
