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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewThere was no breakfast! Unbelievable in b&b! Had to go up the street to a cafe for our breakfast. Lights In the bathroom didn't work properly. The menu for dinner at night had absolutely nothing to my taste. All in all a very bad experience and unfortunately we will not be back.
More choice of food on the menu. Lights that work properly in bathrooms.

Verified reviewThe 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.
A little disappointed that they didn't do breakfast, but they provided a 10% discount for breakfast at the cafe 200m along the road.

Verified reviewNothing at all - the exit
Everything Shocking entrance , horrendous dirty carpet on staircase to room. Room looked like it had had a revamp of sought but not finished Dated, shower horrendous , door handle falling off , sink cracked and tiles Cobwebs , no sound proofing Room smelt of stale smoke . Totally horrendous and we really didn't want to stay for 5 mins. We tried to find an alternative accommodation in the area but due to last minute and quite rural we had no alternative. We slept and as soon as light we left . Tried to ring booking . Con and really will pursue getting a refund . This hotel is not fit for purpose and certainly not at all as advertised .

Verified reviewBarstaff 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.
Hotel 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!!!

Verified reviewGreat sized room with a bath for a very sore hiker.
No 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.

Verified reviewThey cancelled me in the middle of my cycling trip with one days notice (while in the middle of the bike ride) due to issues with plumbing. They really apologised, over the phone and said I would be reimbursed as by this time they had taken full payment. But then they then did not let booking.com know that they had cancelled my stay so it was down to me to do the running to get my money back. I phoned them a week down the line and they just said to me I would need to contact booking.com. When I contacted booking.com the booking.com representative said that the hotel had not even informed them that they had cancelled on me, and that the Cheviot was in the wrong on this. At the time of cancelling me on the phone they had named another place that would be able to accommodate me. When I phoned this other place, they couldn't, they hadn't had a conversation with the Cheviot about this and they said the Cheviot had no right to say that to me. So a pretty appalling establishment. But Bellingham is a lovely place to stay in, but perhaps go anywhere else.
