Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOnce comment would be that we could not find the ash bucket for the fire, so was unable to have a fire on the second evening. We only realised quite late so did not want to disturb the owner though I’m sure this could have been sorted and luckily we were not cold.
This property was in a beautiful setting. The property itself was also beautifully decorated and the underfloor heating was a nice touch.

United KingdomWe got so used to keeping the heating down at home that it was a little warm at times but that's just personal (and financial) preference. Although it's a bit corny we were very sad to leave
So quiet yet easy to get to. Beautifully spacious and comfortable. We instantly fell in love with the whole experience. Very easy to get up and go exploring Cardigan Bay and Pembrokeshire. Jon gave detailed instructions before and was helpful during our stay. He just made the whole thing so easy. Would definitely stay again

United KingdomDriving up the lane to Cuckoo Barn was beautiful, a real wow as you came over the crest of the hill, the sun set it off perfectly and then on entering the property it was just as much of a wow too. The barn was renovated and kept to a very high standard and with lots of tasteful character and all the facilities you need including excellent wifi, its difficult not to sound OTT but we loved it. The location was stunning and worth the extra few minutes coming out of town, if you want to treat yourself then this is it. One afternoon Jon called in to check everything was OK and was very charming, all the information/communication regarding the stay was excellent, highly recommend.

Having a coffee early morning, in a comfortable chair, in front of the big windows, watching the hills and the very calm sheep… what would you want more for a relaxing stay? clean, spacious, really good sleep, well equipped kitchen… writing is makes me want to go back there tomorrow! Thank you to the lovely owners for sharing such an amasing place!

United KingdomNothing. The location and property is ideal. Be mindful that the property is 2.5 miles up hill from the main town via a single track road. However, with a car or if you are a keen cyclists its not a problem at all.
Perfect location matched by great weather during our stay. All the facilities we could need were available. Probably the most likeable was the comfort and feeling of escape.
