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 KingdomThe location is amazing, particularly the woods and the lake. We really enjoyed walking around there. Also, Tamar and her family are very friendly and happy to provide information about the local area.

United KingdomThe soundproofing wasn't great and we had a particularly deep sleeper next door ;) However we had ear plugs with us and this mitigated any issues.
Amazing Breakfast! Tamar's homemade muffins were incredible and I swear I have withdrawal symptoms. Henllys was a little slice of paradise in rural Wales - Tamar and her family could not have made us feel more welcome. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and we really loved the sustainable ethos at the heart of the B&B. The grounds were beautiful and combined with the weather it just a lovely Easter weekend. Little touches such as jellybeans on our table on Easter Sunday were just so incredibly thoughtful. We will definitely be returning!

United KingdomAlthough I didn't know about the gravel carpark which is hard for bikes, it doesn't take away the nice elements of staying here. There are other options for parking but with care, you can park ok on gravel. Its a quiet area.
The location is great to explore the Brecon Beacons. The property was lovely due to being in the middle of mostly farmland. 2 miles or so from the local town. The room was big and had great storage, which was ideal for out motorcycle gear. Bed were very comfy. Breakfast was nice with lots of fresh fruit and baked goods on offer. The owner and staff very friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomWarm welcome from host on arrival The best sleep I’ve had in years incredibly comfortable & warm throughout. Location is great for exploring the Brecons and surrounding areas. Not many places to eat out but Llandovery has a few good pubs & cafes. We’d recommend the Bear for food.

United KingdomObviously as it is a hay barn/stable conversation it has very little sound proofing, which was mentioned in the room information booklet. Unfortunately on our last morning we were woken quite early by an extremely noisy and loud couple in room 4 below us. I think we were unfortunate and it will not put us off returning.
Friendliness and attention to detail of Tamar and Alex. Room 5 was a good size, warm with a very comfortable bed.

United KingdomTamar made us feel really welcome and the room was lovely. The surrounding area is beautiful and really peaceful on a night, we sat out on a clear night and looked at the stars as there were so many! There is a lake and woodland just up the road which we walked round every day as the lake was lovely and peaceful. Breakfast was also a highlight and got us ready for the day each morning. The homebaked muffins were delicious and a lovely touch. We will definitely be looking to book again when we are next visiting Wales!

United KingdomBeautiful scenic surroundings and a wonderful view of the country side. Tamar and her family were amazing hosts making us feel very welcome. Tamar was so helpful giving us good advice and tips on where to visit and eat ect, she really did go out of her way to make sure our visit was special. It was my birthday during our stay and Tamar made a beautiful bowl of freshly cut flowers at breakfast for me with happy birthday card, which was very kind and thoughtful. There is a beautiful lake on site that is a short distance and worth going to see, sitting by it was very tranquil. There is lots to do and see within 30- 60 min drive, we went to the beach one day which took about an hour and definitely worth the trip. it’s also close to Brecon Beacons with lots to see and do and amazing waterfalls, one of which we visited and swam in.
