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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

It was a perfect base for our exploration of the area. A warm and cosy cottage with everything we needed. Beautiful bedding and quiet surroundings ensured us all a sound night's sleep. We loved the local walks and the stunning scenery. We would love to visit Brecon again and wouldn't look to stay anywhere other than Barn Cottage.

United KingdomI didn't like the bathroom being downstairs and the road and track into the farm.
I liked the space. It was a relaxing and quiet place to stay. The bed and bedding were lovely. I liked the log burner for cool evenings and the laundry room was well equipped and easy to use.

United KingdomIt didn’t have the working farm feel to it that I was expecting. I think we only see a few horses at most. A lot of the information shared was quite out of date.
It felt like home from home. Even though there were others staying near by it was so peaceful. It was a beautiful location and felt so relaxed.

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay. Hugh provided extensive instructions on how to find the cottage and what to expect on arrival. When we arrived, the cottage was ready and lovely and warm, ready for us to stay. On the table, there were some tea, coffee etc, and also the really nice extras, like a little bottle of milk in the fridge and some Welsh cakes which te kids really enjoyed. I liked the information on the cottage and the sustainability initiatives, there was a lot of thought into the welcome pack and what to include. The beds were lovely and comfy, the living area was perfectly laid out, with a nice selection of games and books. The kitchen was also well equipped. We enjoyed the view from the top fields in the farm when we had a wonder too. Absolutely lovely and relaxing- just what we wanted. The location of the cottage was great for walks in Brecon so was ideal for us.

United KingdomI know it’s hard because of where it’s positioned but the toiled was very damp!maybe if the earth was dug out behind it it may help to keep the damp out! Other thing was the wooded toilet seat,could do with replacing and maybe with a plastic one as more hygienic.especially as it had a split and was peeling underneath from use.didn’t enjoy using the bathroom!
Lovely cosy cottage had everything there we needed!

Beautiful, comfy cottage in an incredible location! Despite the cold weather, the cottage was very warm and cosy and we had a wonderful time playing board games (supplied by the property) by the fire. The bed was incredibly comfortable and overall the facilities exceeded our expectations. The location is so beautiful - it was just the peace and quiet we were looking for! Would certainly return!
