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 KingdomThe shower's water pressure was rather low and the space in the shower very cramped so I kept banging myself on the soap holder as I turned.

The breakfast was amazing, to be honest I would travel back just for the breakfast! it was far superior to any other B&B or hotel! The setting is gorgeous, we ate in the conservatory which is surrounded by a back field with sheep and a baby lamb. Super peaceful and quiet too

United KingdomLeaving.
Libby is an excellent host and very welcoming. The house is very conveniently located for the Hay festival, but far enough away to be able to enjoy the countryside. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable with substantial closet space and good amenities. We were delighted by the treats left on our tea-tray each day!

United KingdomA more updated bathroom would have made the B&B perfect.
This is a lovely B&B to use as a base for visiting the surrounding area. Libby could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room was beautifully clean and comfortable and had all the facilities you would expect. Breakfast was delicious with an excellent variety to choose from and the views from the garden room where breakfast was served are fantastic. We were the only guests at the time so had the king sized room which had an en-suite bathroom (a little dated but very clean). The en-suite also had a door leading to the landing and there seemed to be two further bedrooms but no other bathroom. It would be worth double-checking that you would have a private en-suite bathroom before you book. Otherwise we couldn't fault this wonderful home-from-home.

United KingdomI couldn't stay longer
Everything. The room was beautiful, the view was exceptional. I woke up to rainbows across the valley both mornings. The bed was very comfortable, the temperature great. The bathroom was amazing, the bath a great size. Libby left some cakes in the room the next day which were delicious with tea. The breakfast was fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble. I felt so very welcomed and cared for. I will definitely be returning!

United KingdomA very relaxing stay in a very large room with a big bathroom (a separate bath and shower). A beautiful view of the Golden Valley, with sheep grazing behind the house. Breakfast is excellent (why stay in a hotel and pay extra?). A car is essential to make the most of the location, but Hay-on-Wye, the Brecon Beacons and South Herefordshire are easily reached. I can highly recommend a stay in a part of the UK slightly off the usual tourist tracks.

United StatesThat we had to get up and leave too early for a second of her delicious breakfasts!
Libby was an amazing host. She made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was delicious - the smoked salmon scrambled eggs (a house specialty, were the best ever.) She recommended things to do and helped us coordinate shipping two boxes back to The States. We could not have asked for a nicer, kinder host. I highly recommend a stay at her lovely establishment!
