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.).

IndiaFelt like we had our very little own home in the Beautiful countryside of Wark. It was a fantastic base to use for going on beautiful drives, visiting kielder etc during the day and to see the dark sky of stars above us at night!we stayed in housesteads apt here that had an private terrace area . Also they have a very romantic electric fireplace which really creates a fantastic ambience. The apartments are also right opposite the only convenience store in town and next to a cafe 1897 which had fantastic breakfast food and only a 5min walk or less to Battlestead hotel for dinner at night as well as to catch the observatory show there . Apartments at the Black are definitely going to be a repeat for us !

United KingdomLiked it all - except the constant rain!
It was clean and modern with plenty of space and a very convenient enclosed outdoor area for our dogs . In the summer it would have been even better and we would have used the shared outside hut too. Also the shop directly opposite is so handy and sells delicious pies from the butchers. Tony was very friendly , so any questions or problems help is at hand!

United KingdomOnly thing would've been finishing touches - we had to buy additional toilet roll as there was only one roll in the flat. There was also just one tea towel which didn't dry anything and there was no draining board. Didn't detract from a 5 star stay! Thank you.
Excellent property and location, super clean. Check in and access really easy.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like but a small table lamp in kitchen/living/dining area would have been nice for light instead of having to use either kitchen/living room lights (rather bright).
The apartments are in a lovely location & near to Kielder Water & Forest park. Our apartment (2 bed Carrawburgh Suite) had spacious bedrooms with comfy beds. Nice courtyard to use privately - from main bedroom. Every area of apt was very clean, lovely bathroom with a great shower, kitchen had plenty of crockery/utensils/pans etc. Nice little extras left for our arrival. Car parking space outside the apartments - off the street.

Great location for the National Park and Hadrians Wall and only an hour from the coast. Wark, though only small also had good facilities - general store, pubs and ev charging point which was a bonus. Also nice to visit the Battlestead observatory in the village.
