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...).

United KingdomThe mattress is uncomfortable and needs replacing .
Really good location for south shields metro and plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. The bath is lovely and having Netflix was a bonus. Communication with property managers was excellent and the property was easy to find. Didn't use the parking but it would have been easy to park outside.

United KingdomGetting into bed under the eaves was very tricky, and remembering to duck down when under them. The steep stair access is not really for people with mobility issues. I have some mobility problems and found it a little precarious.
The cleanliness. The bath is a striking feature. The wee coffee machine and all the other utilities.

United KingdomFirst of all I was harassed daily with texts from a company that you have partnered with, an insurance company trying to scam me out of paying either a 30 pound non refundable waiver "for your peace of mind in case you break something" OR pay 350 refundable deposit with a non refundable 9 pound booking fee?! When I asked why this wasn't shown in the booking information or the policies on the listing my question was totally disregarded and ignored, their response was just vague and pathetic, offering me early check in and they would reduce the waiver to 20?! What a joke. I spoke to two people from booking.com and they advised me to not pay it (insurance shouldn't be paid by your guests) and to just turn up and if I was refused entry they would provide me with alternative accommodation. Thankfully check in was fine and I stayed the whole duration of my trip, however.. the place is tiny, the fact your calling it an apartment is hilarious, the bed area is way to cramped. The TV doesn't work properly as I ended up watching YouTube for two days. You have all the amenities like microwave, toaster, plates and whatever but no where to wash up properly? The sink in the bathroom is far to small to to dishes and it's not sanitary either. The bath was beautiful but you can't stand up in it to rince the bubbles off. The mattress is lumpy and uncomfortable and there were bleach stains all over the back of the pillowcases. When I took all the bedding off at the end of my stay there were yellow stains on the pillows and a few marks on the duvet as well which is really off putting. I didn't use the fridge during my stay because there were loads of what looked like dog hair all over the top shelf in the right hand corner, gross! There was no mention how tight the stairs were from floor 1 to floor 2, I struggled to get my suitcase up.
The "apartment" was exactly like the potots The location was perfect! Right next to Morrisons and 15 to the beach! The bath is also very nice The pillows were nice and soft

We only stayed one night but it delivered on every level for what we required

United Kingdomit may just be highlighted by the fact we stayed in the height of summer, but there was no air in the room, the sun had heated it up through the day and it was so stuffy we couldn't sleep. We looked around for a fan, but there hadn't been one left anywhere. They'd made the best they could of the room itself, which was an attic space, but sleeping under the slanted ceiling was less than ideal too (lots of bumping heads!). As i say, the hosts must have made the most out of the space they had, just the overheating and how cramped it was meant it didn't feel as worth the money as it could have done.
i'm not sure if it was the host we bumped into, but the lady living in the same building was lovely. it was very convenient as a location for our conference in south shields. The bath was great, HUGE! They'd left tea and coffee facilities (no milk tho).
