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.).

Peaceful with stunning views. The finish on the cottage was incredible. And all the little details had been thought of.

United KingdomEverything, the finishes of the barn are outstanding with excellent utilities. The views of the Brecon Beacons are outstanding, I was worried I would be cold but it was really warm with the heating locked on a comfortable temperature which was perfect. I recommend getting up early making a pot of tea and watching the sun rise over the mountain line, you won’t regret it 🙏😁

United KingdomWe received 8 pages of instructions on how to check in/check out/manage the rubbish/things to do and not to do... which was quite daunting! Perhaps these could be thinned out a bit to make it more digestible and the 'must dos' could be separated from the recommendations ang guides - just a suggestion and would still go back even with the 8 pages of instructions :)
The house is just fantastic and has been done up really well. It is extremely well equipped and we really enjoyed going through what others (spices, pasta, oil, etc) had left in the cupboards to see what we could find! It's in a very rural and quite far from the closest village, really making it feel tranquil and isolated, just what we were after. Our host recommended a few walks in the area, which we enjoyed as well. We would absolutely go back, thanks Jon for having us

United KingdomThe cutlery was rusty and some plates had cracks and big chips. Would be great to have a shelf in the shower.
Spacious and full of light. Very modern and nordic style design of the space. Plenty of workspaces to cook, eat and enjoy. The patio was great for a warm day evening. You're in the middle of nowhere, hence it's quiet and not busy. Very scenic view straight from the doorstep. Great base camp to explore the Brecon Beacons.

United KingdomThe minor gripes I had were discussed with the host who promised to rectify them. I believe it was a temporary blip and it should not put off other visitors.
Almost excellent. The host was charming and the location was excellent. We had a lovely time and I would stay again.

United Kingdomeverything was great about the property itself and it is certainly maintained very well. The only downside is that the nearest town does not have a lively center neither we could find a gastropub within 10 min drive.
it is a very lovely cottage with astonishing view. very clean and feels very homely. There is also a patio in the back of the property with access to a shared communal yard/garden.

United KingdomSingle bed (temporary) was a little small for a teenager. Windows could have done with a clean on the outside. A broom would have been helpful. Not clear where the BBQ was.
The view and location were amazing. The barn is very big and spacious. Showers were really good with lots of hot water. Clean.
