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 KingdomSmall cooker was a bit tricky to get used to, but there was a microwave so managed perfectly well.
Lovely location, with River Wye just outside the window. Comfortable, well equipped cottage, lovely owners who gave us lots of info about the local area. Nice welcome touches. Perfect for a peaceful break with wildlife outside the door.

United KingdomThe shower wasn't the best, difficult to find the right temperature and not powerful enough. The bed was a bit too firm and the pillows too soft.
The location was great, quiet and peaceful. The garden overlooking the river, with wildlife almost within touching distance. Kitchen was well equipped with wine, milk, tea and coffee provided.

United KingdomI chose not to drive and therefore relied on public transport and taxis, which on occasion prove to be unreliable and can restrict your travel plans.
This historic and picturesque location along with the accommodation offered seclusion but l did not feel isolated. As a solo traveller l felt secure and was acknowledged by family members as a welcome visitor. I truly enjoyed my stay, thank you 🙏🏿✌🏿

United KingdomNothing to report here. Even got sun and warm weather so what's not to like!!
Location. Location. Location. Don't think this cottage's placement could ever be beaten!! I was shattered each day after my kayak course and looked forward to my meal on the patio overlooking the river then after to just sit on the bench there and watch and hear the paddleboarders, birds, and the sound of the river. Bliss!! Convenient to Hay and Brecon and most other desirable destinations. Easy parking. Lynda was a fun and attentive host. Thank you for the wine too!! Comfy cottage and expect a daily check up by the neighbour's cat Nutmeg. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe cooking facilities were a real problem. you could only use the small oven or the rings. There was no temperature on the rings, they were either on or off. The oven temperature was not accurate so things took much longer to cook. The height of the unit was so high that it made it difficult to safely use the rings.
The location was perfect. Constant hot water and the property had a bath. Comfortable large bed. Plenty kitchen equipment and the property was warm and cosy.

United KingdomEverything was fine.
A beautiful location right by the river, very peaceful, yet close to amenities and surrounding area, there was a very good Garden Centre on the main road, which had a lovely restaurant and shop. The cottage was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The patio was a bonus, a lovely area to sit and rest and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. A good base to enjoy local walks, covering the Wye Valley and the Black Mountains.

United Kingdomwe didn’t find anything wrong with the cottage. the only thing that may give some people a problem was the cooker, not a traditional, but a countertop, we got on fine with it but could see it might be an adventure for some people. 😁
clean, tidy, warm, great location, owners very friendly but left us to it, unless we needed them. lovely to sit and watch the birds and watch the river flowing by.
