How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Hard to think of anything. Adding dimmable main lights in the lounge is about the only thing I can think of. But not really an issue as there are two smaller side lights.
Really cosy, clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Plenty of space. All we needed and more. Generous box of treats on arrival. Hosts were lovely and welcoming but not intrusive. Good information about local walks. Would absolutely stay again.

Great location, beautifully decorated cottage with such lovely small, finishing touches, we even had christmas decorations. It was homely but also had the wow factor. The host allowed us to check in early so we made the most of it. A friendly and welcoming little hamper was such a sweet gesture also. The cottage was not far from the waterfalls we wanted to visit and the local village was quaint and nearby.

The cold tap in the downstairs toilet didn't work. The sound of traffic was quite annoying during the morning rush hour
The bedding, the soft furnishings, welcome hamper, fully equipped kitchen, especially loved the Ralph Lauren towels! The lovely hosts who popped in to welcome us and even gave us an extra few hours to check out. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

The cottage was beautifully presented, very comfortable and well equipped - it had everything we needed. The hosts also provided a generous welcome basket including essentials (bread, milk, butter, eggs) and treats! The hosts also made sure that we had all we needed and were communicative in terms of information we might need ahead of arrival. There was good information about the local area (walking routes, places to eat - takeaway and eat in) provided in the cottage. We would definitely book again!

It was an amazing place, we really enjoyed staying there, the place was so beautiful and the cottage had everything you need. I think it should be 6 stars, also its a good place to use for a base camp and then go and visit the rest of South Wales. The owners were really friendly and came to greet us to make sure we were comfortable and if there was anything we needed etc. It's a must

United Kingdom1 review7.0“Overall a great place for our short stay whilst visiting family and exploring the area.”- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

Small things would have improved our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, crockery etc, however whilst there were plenty of glasses, it would have been better with more mugs and teaspoons. A couple of the bedroom doors did not close properly and a lamp in the twin bedroom was not working. This was not a problem as we moved one from another room for our stay. Overall we had a really lovely stay at the cottage, we were out a lot of the time exploring the area and visiting family. The cottage sits back on a main road, which we did not realise when doing our research, again this was not an issue for us, and we had easy access to the places we wanted to visit in the area.
Plenty of parking spaces, lovely decor, the property was well "dressed, comfy beds, lovely large outdoor space with outdoor seating available
