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):
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.).

The accommodation was central to visiting other areas. Although Not within walking distance of pub or restaurant there were plenty close by to drive to . Car parking although on a steep drive just room enough for 2 cars. Was clean and warm

A lovely apartment with plenty of space and light. I liked the clock related decoration of the rooms. The bed was comfortable and the apartment has a great shower. It was very clean and I would definitely stay again.

United KingdomPlease note nothing to do with the accommodation - but there is a shortage of taxis in Chepstow so double check what you are going to be charged first before you book. We got a taxi back from Tintern Abbey £40 - ouch!
We had a couple of facility issues when we arrived but Jo couldn't have been more charming and resolved very quickly. The cottage is very spacious inside and tastefully decorated and yet with a cosy feel. The terrace is set off from the owners garden and lovely suntrap, but quite steep steps, so be mindful if small children. I also noticed a BBQ not that we used it but great to know for another time. Stunning walks in the area and the Rising Sun is lovely for Sunday lunch - delicious.

United KingdomWe could sometimes hear the people underneath so the sound proofing isn't great but it wasn't an issue as it was only during the day so it didn't disturb us too much- it wouldn't put us off booking again.

United KingdomWe stayed 3 nights at the Loft. It is a superb apartment, clean and spacious, and perfectly located to explore the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley (including attractions like Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abbey) as they are only a short drive away. Although we did not meet our hosts personally, communication with them by e-mail was easy and they were really helpful. The biscuits, tea, and coffee were a nice welcome touch.

United KingdomThe fridge was rather small. Had we have known in advance, we wouldn't have brought 3 meals of perishable food with us, we would have just brought enough for our first evening. It was not possible to watch television from the sofa, only by sitting on the bar stools.
Clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable bed, and great bathroom. Private offroad parking & outside seating area. Several walks from property - direct access to Offas Dyke path. Chepstow, with shops and restaurants was about a 25 minute walk, and there was a nice footpath route.

United KingdomThe cottage was located on a busy main road, there was a fair amount of traffic noise throughout the day, slightly less at night. The patio allocated to the cottage was up two sets of steps, so wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Breakfast not provided as it was a self catering booking. The cottage had everything needed to be comfortable for our stay.

United KingdomThe loo brush in the bathroom was the only exception to the overall high standard of cleanliness; it's container was rusty. We had to clean the convex parking mirrors to see clearly if the road was clear to exit the parking bay. The cafetiere provided was too small, it would only fill one of the mugs provided, but we just made the coffee strong then diluted with more water from the kettle. The small fridge was ok for our short stay, but may have been a problem if planning a week's groceries. Guests should be aware that there are a number of steps to access the loft from the street and car.
The loft is a self-contained studio apartment at the top of the building, with excellent river and countryside views. Comfortably furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen, bath and shower in the bathroom, and its own decked terrace and allocated parking space off the road. Although just off the road, it was quiet, and the offa's dyke footpath runs past the bottom of the garden, accessible by a gate. This is an excellent location for walkers, and chepstow a short car journey away. Access arrangements sent by e-mail were very clear, and though we didn't meet our host, they texted to make sure we arrived safely and were happy with the accommodation. There was plenty of space and storage, and useful local information leaflets provided. The milk, biscuits, tea, sugar and coffee were a welcome touch.

United KingdomI have a dodgy back and found that the mattresses in the rear room were either of poor quality or old - not enough support - 4 nights of backache. Also in the same room, the boiler outlet vent of the apartment below is right by a single-glazed window, by the bed. It is very loud and caused sleep interruption.
Lovely big bedrooms. Separate kitchen. Private patio. Ideal for two couples as rooms spaced apart, separate bathrooms. Well equipped.
