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 KingdomNothing, there was no phone signal which made it difficult to contact a taxi service but the owners were more than happy to lend us their landline!
Tamar was accommodating to my dietary requirements and James was very helpful when we needed tools to change a torn tyre.

United KingdomAn exceptionally beautiful, family run farmhouse B&B. Tamar was the perfect hostess, greeting us, ensuring everything was just so, even letting us take the muffins with us after breakfast! The room was well furnished and extremely comfortable, making for a wonderful stay. The thoughtfulness and care taken by the hosts was second to none and we'd love to return soon!

United KingdomOne small drawback is the slightly lower than 3 metre ceilings in the rooms. For guests interested in morning stretches and exercises there is a lovely stone courtyard just outside though
Everything about my stay was ideal: the directions given, initial welcome and continuing friendly interaction without being intrusive, comfortable cosy quiet ultra clean accommodation, lovely high ceilinged breakfast room, walks on the estate, easy access to town. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to going back

United KingdomNothing really. The hosts are around and easy to talk to and keen to ensure guests enjoy their stay. Had I found something I didn’t like, I’m sure it would have been sorted!
Superb location!!! Beautiful surroundings, quiet , sheltered and peaceful but with far-reaching views across a valley. Old, characterful buildings set in extensive grounds and complete privacy. Also quite easy to get to by road and close to amenities in Llandovery. Good wi-fi, too. Breakfast served in a separate characterful room with exposed roof timbers. No cooked breakfast available, but Tamar prepares a delicious selection of fruit and pastries for each guest, along with the cereals, tea, coffee, toast etc to guarantee a tasty and filling start to the day.

United KingdomWhilst there was some noise from adjacent rooms we had anticipated this in a converted building so wasn’t an issue.
We really enjoyed a few nights here whilst visiting the Brecon Beacons. Tamar and her family were such nice hosts and made us feel very welcome and looked after. The breakfasts with homemade muffins were a highlight, as was a walk through the woodland on-site, full of bluebells. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Overall we found the B&B perfect for those walking in the area/looking for a home away from home. We would definitely stay again if visiting nearby!

Tamar and family really make you feel welcome, without being intrusive. We stayed in room 5, a converted, historic farm building complete with high beams and wooden flooring. A roomy yet cosy stay with en suite facilities. A small TV and complementary refreshments. Quiet, no noise other than a Cockerel crowing in the distance, adding to the ambience in the morning as you would expect, as we had the window open. Breakfast served to our requirements and within an adequate time slot for both early risers and lay in snoozers. Deep in countryside, but close enough to market towns.
