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 KingdomI prefer some rooms to others but they are all lovely in different ways. I was in the Margot room this time, with a lovely balcony overlooking the church tower and the courtyard. the WiFi was very patchy in this room - I haven’t had problems previously.
this was my fourth visit to Swan House and I look forward to my next! perfect location, very clean, quiet, warm and within sight and sound of one of the most beautiful churches in England

United KingdomThe access to the mezzanine level although fun if there were children staying you would be worried and as an adult staying I felt a little unsteady. Great idea and utilisation of space. I am not sure I didn't read enough about the room or if it just needs to be made a bit more clear about the library staircase?!
Staff friendly and efficient. Room clean and all facilities you would need were there. Beds very comfortable

United KingdomWe were kept awake for most of the night by the sound of a television in another room kept on throughout the night at full volume. It came through the walls from below we think. But very disturbing. It was a shame - everything else was lovely and we will come again to stay.
Gordon was very welcoming and helpful. He was efficient and kind. The room was lovely and beautifully clean and stylish.

United StatesThe parking (rental car) was challenging. It would be nice to have a parking pass to put in the car dash for the length of stay so we wouldn’t have to keep moving the car. The bed was harder than we like. A simple mattress topper would probably solve that. Since we were there for almost a week, it would have been nice to have a chest to put our clothes into instead of living out of our suitcases, but that was a minor inconvenience. In our room the vanity was tiny and short, sized more for a child, and the lighting in that area was dim so applying makeup and hair drying was challenging. The Wi-Fi was abysmal.
The location was perfect. It was easy to find and easy to walk to anything we needed, I.e. restaurants, shopping. The room was a nice size. We enjoyed having a sofa and chair in the room for a place to sit other than the bed. Having porridge and tea in the room was convenient. Thank you for those nice touches.

United KingdomThere is nothing I didn't like. I was in the top room (Seth) which is directly over the 'William' room where my mother was staying. She was apparently disturbed by me walking around as I was getting ready for bed - floorboards creaking etc. She has told me off!! But on a previous stay, my husband and I slept in 'William' and there was someone above and we were not disturbed at all! So she may just be extra sensitive.
This was my second visit to Swan House and it was just as good as ever. I travelled with my elderly mother who was very happy with her room. Swan House is clean and comfortable and, whilst there is no formal breakfast, there is 'help yourself' instant porridge plus lovely biscuits and hot drink making facilities as well as plenty of chilled water - perfectly adequate. There are also many cafes very nearby serving a bigger breakfast if wanted. There is no designated carparking at the property but I was aware of this and there are plenty of places for the car very nearby so this isn't a problem either! We wouldn't hesitate to use Swan House again and recommend it to others.
