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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The only issue we found was the plug socket in between the beds was a bit loose, obviously being electrical it was a bit concerning but our chargers worked fine so maybe just needs a screwing in.
We came up to Newcastle for the England game and the location of the avenue was brilliant for the town and the stadium. Steve is such a top host, he made sure to sort out room out as soon as the previous guests had left as we had arrived very early due to an overnight coach. He offered to call us a taxi when we checked out as well.

Steve was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size and comfortable with everything you need for a few days away. Nice powerful shower and plenty of warm water. Breakfast was decent and the location was the perfect blend of easy access to the city centre by metro or bus, and a peaceful environment.

Shower was good when it finally got warm, whch took at least 5 minutes. I wouldn't have been an issue if I had expected it.
Excellent location for my needs. Very quiet, except for a couple of women chatting through the small hours out in the street. (I could have closed the window). Great sound of cricket bat on ball coming from the ground across the road on Sunday morning. The premises were clean and tidy. The room was serviced each day. Manager/host was very welcoming and friendly.

Wifi connection was slow for me.
Straightforward, 'no frills' accommodation that met all my needs. Friendly welcome by host; communication was good. On-street parking is via a permit, which costs £2 per day. Keys to come and go as you please. Room clean. Plenty of hot water. Plenty of electric sockets. Standard breakfast options all fine. Local restaurants within 10/15 minutes' walking distance. Happy to stay here again if I needed to.

Location is great if you don't want city centre, only a short walk from a metro stop, easy parking using a permit provided.

Staircases, carpet etc was a little dated, but didn't spoil our stay. Traffic calming measures make it a bit awkward to access - but that's not the fault of the hotel, they were very helpful in finding our way around the side roads.
Comfy bed, good hot shower, good size room, plentiful breakfast, parking permit provided for a small fee. Very helpful staff, welcoming and attentive. Good location for Heaton/Jesmond. Would recommend to others.
