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.).

United KingdomThe property was great, but Blaenavon is unfortunately a very deprived town which has a dreadful litter problem.
We loved the house, it was warm, cosy and well equipped with everything we could want.

The cottage was exactly as described. There are so many things to do in walking distance, and nothing in South Wales was too far by car. The cottage is on a hill, but this is not a down side as the view is fantastic

United KingdomA very, very well-equipped, spotless cottage, which was warm and comfortable. We were attending a funeral on the Friday in Blaenavon, but we stayed till the Monday. We usually stay with friends down the road when we visit, but this was a fabulous alternative. There are some lovely eating places and great take aways nearby. The streets are very steep, so flat shoes are recommended! Also make sure you close the kitchen door when making toast or cooking as the smoke alarm will go off. The area is very quiet and picturesque. Love this part of the world!

United KingdomThe cottage was very nice and on the odd occasions that we saw the neighbours they were perfectly pleasant. Blaenavon as a town though is a little run down. We used the Co-Op and the chippy - Heritage Plaice - and they were absolutely fine.
I thought the cottage was more than adequate - it had everything you would need / want for a holiday. Parking wasn’t an issue, there was always space within close proximity, even if it wasn’t directly outside the property. There’s loads to do locally and a lot of the stuff is either free or a case of paying for parking - The Big Pit for example cost £5 to park and then free to enter. That’s very ideal when you’re trying to entertain the kids during the holidays.

United KingdomBeing on a hill in an old mining town the parking is limited and the roads are narrow with the bins on the pavement making it hard to walk around the town generally. Not a critique of the house but something to be aware of with small children or those of limited mobility. The stairs in the house are steep and again something to be aware of.
The house was really clean and well maintained. I loved the garden and in particular the ability to sit outside and enjoy the view. It was close to the co-op for shopping and the kitchen was well equiped and easy to use. I was really grateful that they were able to set up the beds in the main room as two singles.

United KingdomThere's nothing we didn't like.
Kids loved the history of the cottage and of Bleanavon. Amazing place. The fact that it got decorated by a Formula 1 driver made it even more interesting. We all had very restful sleep in there. Lovely interior and fab view from the patio. I appreciate the guide created by the owners with the list of all the places worth visiting. The cheese from the nearby cheese shop was fantastic! I wouldn't know of its existence if it wasn't for the guide. And it's only a few steps away from the cottage, on High Street.

United KingdomYou need to lock the front door with a key at night as it can be opened from outside when unlocked. Minor issue, but worth noting.
