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.).

United KingdomAs a retired Health and Safety advisor, I would advise that the steps and front gate should be looked at as it is an accident waiting to happen,I would suggest that water proof mats are used to cover the wooden steps which when wet could lead to slip hazards, this brings me on to the gate which the design is actually hazardous if someone slipped on the wooden steps they could fall on to the pointed gate because the height is much lower than the steps and if fallen on could cause serious injury maybe ditch the gate for one without the pointy spikes on it just a suggestion
Great location and was great value , housekeeping were very helpful and we really enjoyed our stay

United KingdomThe bed was so uncomfortable! It was borderline painful to sleep on. The heating was on constantly during our stay and was set at 24.5*C which was pretty much unbearable. The staff were available through message on booking.com but suggested I try to take the batteries out of the hive heating system, and also mentioned “it was working fine the day before”. The wire covering had been pulled off the wall under the TV which was an eyesore. The room is very very small. We weren’t in it enough for it to be too much of an issue but it was super small for two adults with two suitcases. I forgot a pair of sunglasses (completely my fault) and was told housekeeping would let me back into the property. I stood outside for 15 minutes to be let back in and didn’t receive a response from the messaging system for a while either.
The property is in a prime location in South Shields. The kitchen and games room were great although the latter was a little tired looking. The room was decorated nicely and was very secure.

United KingdomNo hand rail outside the bedroom door where there is two steps and being infron of stairs I thought they were needed. Being a 75 year old woman I was nervous going in and out. There was a hole in the duvet c9ver which my hand got caught. It didn't hurt but it should have been changed.
Cleanliness. Beautiful towels. The vase on the drawers was fabulous. If it was for sale I would buy it as have been looking for exactly that. Lovely hot water.

United KingdomFirst room 2 smelled really bad, but we were moved (to room 5) so it was fine and they were dealing with the problem. The room they moved us into after (room 8) had a dirty sock over the smoke alarm but everything else was great and the staff were really nice to move our bags to the more appropriate room available.
Great location, really friendly staff that helped me when the first room had something wrong with it - they gave us another room to stay in. Great games room with kitchen
