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 KingdomNothing comes to mind!
Excellent location within easy reach of all the town had to offer. It was stylish without pretentiousness and the thoughtfulness the owners had put into everything provided from the welcome pack, the information booklets to the decor, the bed linen and bath towels made you feel very welcome!

United KingdomEverything was absolutely perfect! Thank you for such a great stay! The bed was comfortable, and the property itself was impeccable! I've worked in hospitality (Hotels) for just shy of 10 years and I can honestly say this was the cleanest, best value for money room/cottage I have ever stayed in, and trust me, I've stayed in a lot in my time! I would like to thank you for everything, and if we find ourselves in Hay again for more bookshop exploring, we would book again without hesitation! :)

United KingdomAll of it! A beautiful home in the perfect location. Every small detail has been thought of. A welcome basket so we could have a cup of tea and a biscuit after a long drive was very welcome. Everything you need to cook your own meals (saves a few pennies as a family of 4) The location was amazing. You could pop back for a cup of tea and take back all your purchases! The upstairs bedroom was great for the children (6 and 11). They slept very well and said the beds were comfy. Bathrooms were beautiful and had soaps and toiletries, hair dryer....just everything you could need! The car park was super close and very reasonably priced, we just bought 4 days parking in one go, so we didn't have to worry about getting up and paying for parking by 8am. Amazing selection of shops and cafes within walking distance. We also walked a long the river and saw the wooden sculpture trail. We will definitely be back, thank you 😊 *My husband and I ended up taking the mattress out of the sofa bed and putting it on the floor as that was more comfy, but I've NEVER found a sofa bed that was comfy!

United KingdomNothing. If you are bringing a little one with a pram, just bear in mind there are steps to go up into the house. The downstairs lobby area is plenty big enough to accommodate it though.
The house is in the perfect location for exploring the area. The house is so clean and has everything you need for your stay. Ali even left a welcome basket with Easter eggs, so thoughtful. We had plenty of room for our son’s travel cot in the bedroom. We loved staying in this quirky property and hopefully we will be back at some point.

United KingdomThe location was perfect, everything was right on our doorstep and watching the world go by whilst reading a book was lovely and relaxing. The cottage had everything we needed and more. There was a welcome basket waiting for us which was a nice touch. The kitchen was fully equipped so we could easily cater for ourselves. The lounge and dining room were comfy and full of books and games. The cottage had so much character, with original features preserved and beautiful decor. We felt at home as soon as we stepped in. We had all of the instructions we needed, check in and out was easy and there was plenty of information provided about Hay On Wye. The garden was fabulous too, although still a little chilly to sit in unfortunately. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it.

United KingdomLiterally the only thing that could have been slightly improved was a more powerful shower, but I suspect that is a local issue with water pressure.
The property was exceptional quality. The host had thought of every little detail to make our stay perfect, such as leaving a pint of milk in the fridge and teabags/coffee. The decor was beautiful and the addition of soft wool blankets and comfy cushions made it really cosy. I can’t believe how good value it was and would certainly stay again in future.

United KingdomThe accommodation was the best in Hay on Wye! We've stayed in a number of different places and this beats them all! Beautifully presented, very well equipment and totally relaxing place to stay. Having the sitting room and dining room meant we didnt have to eat out each night. Would highly recommend this to anybody thinking about staying in Hay on Wye.

United KingdomI really can't think of anything negative, it was all more than expected, wish I had been staying longer.
Lovely comfortable flat, loads of character. Lots of little touches. The well thought out welcome items were much appreciated as we'd had quite a long journey. The flat is in an amazing position and going to the bakers first thing for fresh croissants a few doors down was an added bonus. Everything was spotlessly clean and the touch of the Christmas tree was lovely, really made the atmosphere.

United KingdomThere was a problem with the television’s remote control so it was impossible to change channels . The light in the entrance way could do with having a longer timer for staying on as I found it went off before I could open the key safe and unlock the front door. This caused problems particularly when arriving in the dark.
