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 KingdomA handle on the shower wall would have been beneficial to me as I suffer balance problems
Bedroom had everything we needed, plenty of tea coffee, quality biscuits and hot chocolate. Outstanding views across the hills. A floor standing fan was a nice extra in the very hot weather we had been experiencing. Friendly staff who made sure our 1 night stay was enjoyable. The restaurant provided an extensive menu cooked to perfection thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Would definitely recommend The Three Wheat Heads

United KingdomThe pub bar sofas are a bit dog-eared. Probably because they’ve been well used by many locals and visitors. They are still comfortable to relax in after a days walking and touring.
The Three Wheat Heads is a proper village inn, with friendly locals and staff, superb views over beautiful countryside and located minutes from an easy quick walk along the River Coquet. The food is very good, there’s an excellent range of breakfast choices to set you up for the day. We really enjoyed our evening meals too, the menu options cover all tastes. Our room had a lovely view and a comfortable king size bed. The electric shower was spacious, warm, efficient - everything in the ensuite looked brand new. The supplied linen and towels were good quality and even included a face flannel. Small things, but there is a sense of attention to detail here.

United KingdomNo issues.
The Three Wheat Heads was an excellent location, with Cragside nearby and Rothbury. Our room (for a 3-night stay) was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and spacious( we had twin beds in a family room also containing a large double bed). It was lovely to have a bath as well as a separate shower. Breakfast was great—loads of choices, including options for vegetarians. Everything was cooked to order ( if opting for a cooked breakfast) using locally sourced produce. The bacon was particularly tasty. One of the main reasons we selected this inn was for the food. We had eaten there previously whilst staying in Elsdon. The menu was extensive and varied, and the food fabulous. We even ordered a selection of starters one night to create a tapas feast. And let's not forget the staff who were friendly, engaging, helpful and consistently good-humoured over a busy Easter weekend. We will be back!

United KingdomHaving few cocktails available in bar would have been better
Nicely located in the middle of a quiet picturesque village, so very easy access. It's a fairly large property giving lot of dining space and a separate pub area to enjoy. Decor is well fitting. There is ample free parking just in front of the property. Room was well organised, clean and warm with central heating on. Staff were very welcoming, courteous and helpful.Seems they wanted you to "be happy" there. We had dinner at night, minted lamb was nicely cooked and portion size pretty sumptuous. Sam was serving us, kept coming to ensure we got all we wanted. Next morning's breakfast was even better with choice (Kipper and all the rest of full english). Surrounding area has great riverside walk just behind this property. Overall a great team of George is fantastic!

United KingdomThis is a 300 year old rural building which has been adapted to modern living. It is situated in the beautiful coquet valley with stunning views of the simonside hills . The rear of the building has seen better days. Don't expect frills but the overall product is a solid, value for money experience..
Breakfast was substantial and very well cooiked. For me a delight to be offered fried bread! Dinner was exceptional. I had minted lamb and it was special.
