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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike. There was a little traffic noise but nothing distracting or that would disturb sleep.
Beautiful location, close to Kington and its takeaways, restaurants and shops where the locals were helpful and friendly. Isabelle couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. All instructions were very clear regarding how to find the place, check in and out times, and there was lots of flexibility. The room was clean and comfortable and had a lovely basket of goodies. I slept incredibly well. A delicious full English breakfast was brought to my room in the morning at an arranged time. I would definitely return if I was in the area. A lovely stay.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious and you could eat it in the Lodge enjoying the views. Isabelle was super attentive and spent time with us giving us fabulous recommendations for walks, dinner etc. When we arrived Isabelle brought us tea and coffee to the lodge and was on hand to answer any questions we had and was very easy to contact.

Excellent facilities. Delicious full English breakfast delivered to our room. Most attentive host, who even washed a garment that had been soiled so that the stain did not set. Communication from the host before and during our stay was first rate. Quiet location, high degree of privacy. Parking next to room, which was very handy as the weather was variable.

United KingdomVery TINY (personal) niggles... spoons rather than bits of wood would be preferable / the hand towel was a bit small for 2 people / at that price a biscuit or two would have been nice. As I say, very small and very personal niggles - do not be put off by them !
Breakfast content exactly as requested, beautifully cooked and presented. Room delightfully and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and the owner very pleasant and attentive. Difficult to find better, but maybe a touch expensive ? Having said that I'd happily recommend it.
