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 KingdomIt's difficult to think of any negatives - maybe a tin of baked beans without the sausages for vegetarians?
A huge array of breakfast food and more was left for us in the kitchenette. It was lovely - lots of choice and great quality products. There was also a very nice bottle of wine, Welsh cakes, chocolates and fruit. The weather was unseasonably cold for May, but the heating sorted that out in just a few minutes. The nicest bathroom towels too. It's a small place but really comfortable, and Sharon was extremely welcoming and kind. We will definitely go back (for next year's Hay festival) if we can book it again! Although we were mostly out at the Hay Festival, Talgarth itself is a lovely place, with loads of amenities and shops, and of course, the Sound of the River

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike about this property.
Immaculately clean and very well equipped. Access to a large, fully furnished garden area. This is the closest you will get to a 5 star hotel without actually booking into one. The fridge was stocked with charcuterie meats and pate. Cereals, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and fruit are provided as well as a chocolate treat. Robes and towels are provided as well as shower gel and hand soap. There are feather pillows on the bed and a lovely stream running behind the property. We booked late with little notice to the hosts who accommodated us beautifully. They are so very pleasant and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely warm welcome from Sharon. All facilities were superb and the bed was very comfortable.There was a super bathroom with shower and also a well equipped kitchenette stocked up with everything we could possibly need for a great breakfast. The studio flat was spotlessly clean throughout, tastefully decorated and looked out on to a patio garden. Quiet and private and just what we needed for a break en route to our holiday in Anglesey. Many thanks for your warm hospitality so greatly appreciated.

United KingdomI can't say there was anything we didn't like.
The apartment had everything we needed. David was very pleasant and left us a bar of choc everyday, he left hot cross buns on easter Sunday and also gave us some of his lovely homemade sausage rolls. Would definitely recommend, there was a lovely pub with friendly staff and excellent food, Bridge Inn and The New Gurkha Restaurant and they were both a couple of minutes walk away. Didn't want to go back home.

United KingdomThere was nothing I'd want improving - the weather maybe? ;)
Lovely little 'studio apartment' in the middle of the brecon beacons, consisting of bedroom/sitting room, small, modern kitchenette and good sized shower room. The kitchen was stocked with tea/coffee and everything needed for a continental style breakfast (plus mince pies - it was just after xmas when we visited). It was clean and comfortable, and the owner came in and tidied while we were out, leaving clean towels. In the evening there was enough light to read by, and the TV had Sky on it.

A wonderfully comfortable stay, with everything you could possibly need. There was a great selection of breakfast foods, bathrobes, a wonderful power shower, plus the usual tea and coffee facilities. There was also off-road parking, which was appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring nearby towns such as Hay and Abergavenny. The owner, Sharon, has developed top quality guest accommodation and we both highly recommend it.
