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 KingdomBeware if you are a very light sleeper - the clock tower in the centre of Hay strikes very quarter hour, even throughout the night.
Super comfy super kingsize bed. Unusual and quirky accommodation which was great. Lots of information and interesting reading matter about Hay-on-Wye provided. Lovely bathroom. Everything you could need for a great stay in Hay. We saw a band (Very Santana) at the Globe Theatre in Hay, which was a great venue (and the band were brilliant). Good recommendations provided by our host for places to eat.

United StatesGoodness, nothing but absolutely STELLAR things to say and remember about my time here. Sparkling CLEAN, bed comfortable, having a wee fireplace to use is a dream. Kitchen and laundry machines handy for longer stays. After a day of book hunting and a scrummy fill-up at the nearby pub I headed back to the room. The fire was going. I had books upon books to read. It started to rain. Pure bliss. Absolutely can't beat the location - the village is charmingly compact and you'll easily pass by your room multiple times a day while wandering from bookshop to bookshop. Lovely for a lunch in or just to drop off bags of books or use the facilities (there is one downstairs and one ensuite upstairs) 10/10 would stay again.

United KingdomIf I was going to be very picky, I would say that the modern plug in the bath may need attending to as it popped up and drained while I was having a luxurious soak but I have to say I find this a common problem with the new mechanisms.
The whole accommodation was tastefully decorated to an high standard and spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable - huge and had a memory foam topper and lovely down duvet. All the facilities were great and in working order; the communications exceptional and timely; and it’s location in the centre of Hay perfect.

United KingdomI have no complaints at all, but there are a few things worth bearing in mind. Firstly, in winter, it can be difficult to get the temperature right - it is all too easy for the kitchen to feel like a fridge and the bedroom like a sauna. Also, it is hard to move around the house without making noise (the doors are particularly loud). If one of you is an early-riser and the other one a light sleeper, this will be tricky.
A lovely house! A brilliant mixture of rustic and modern. Very tastefully decorated with a comfortable bed and a duvet that was long enough for me! Hay-on-Wye is a rather small village, so location can hardly be an issue, but this one is right in the middle with all the bookshops and nice eateries within a few minutes' walk.

United KingdomWe stayed here as a surprise for my book-loving partners birthday. The location was perfect and our two year old loved watching people and dogs down in the street below from the windows. She's been asking to go back to the 'teapot home' ever since our stay. Everything was immaculately clean and comfortable with the added bonus of being unique and beautifully decorated. I couldn't fault it. It also had everything we needed. The only thing I was dubious about was the large bed as it felt hard at first but it ended up being extremely comfortable! I slept so well even with being heavily pregnant and with a co-sleeping toddler!
