Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaThe bed and pillows were a little harder than expected but for a two night stay they were comfortable enough.
The food was fantastic! Breakfast choices were more than enough to choose from and left us feeling full right through until dinner. The queen room was spacious and the shared living area was quiet, clean and comfortable. The property was in a quiet location but central enough to many locations in Newcastle, with only a short 10 minute drive to most places that we wanted to go to in the area. Our hosts Dawne and Bruce were accomodating in every way, and we would definitely recommend this place as it met our expectations and our budget for this trip.

United KingdomAll good no complaints
Breakfast was excellently prepared by Dawne and served by Bruce with his wonderful Aussie charm. The breakout area between the rooms was very well equipped and promoted interaction between the guests and we were lucky enough to be able to share stories with 2 other interesting couples traveling through Newcastle. All in all a great B&B.

The breakfast is very vast and carefully prepared. Another nice touch was the Welcome book which had a lot of useful information about the area and things to do. Bruce and Dawne are great really great hosts with whom we enjoyed having a chat with. Will definitely go back! Thank you again!

AustraliaWe live in Brisbane and one of our children lives in Newcastle. I needed to get to Newcastle asap and did not know for how long. I booked the accommodation when I left home at midday and knew I would not arrive til late in the evening. Bruce was awaiting my arrival and met me at the car :) It was quite a stressful few days, two nights stretched to three, then four, I had car troubles and another of our children flew down so I wouldn't be doing the roadtrip home alone. So one occupant became two for the fourth night! Through all of this Dawne and Bruce were the perfect hosts, without imposing at all they made me feel very safe and supported, truly a home away from home <3 Everything about the premises and facilities is faultless, Dawne and Bruce have thought of everything a traveller might need and Dawne's breakfasts are divine!
