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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomYou can hear everything from the other rooms. Snoring, creaking, flushing, showering etc. Lovely breakfast but really there are so many delightful cafes in Hay that I’d recommend eating at those. Swimming pool is ok if you want to swim a few lengths but it’s dank and scruffy, not a place to sit around and relax. The sauna was not open.
An authentic old building with lots of original features. Wonderful service. Ideal location for the town.

BelgiumDouble bed somewhat narrow. Floor surfaces rather uneven but I realize inherent to an older building. Was disturbed by some people having a long chat in the street outside around 1 a.m., but went back to sleep after I closed our bathroom window. (Not a problem, but be aware the lane to the rear car park is extremely narrow).

United KingdomBit disruptive when the swimming pool area is attached to the main room and can hear other guests, especially children playing at 9am and children coming over to the door. The room didn't feel priviate unless the curtains were closed as it was looking out onto a small car park with cars very close to the door and winow. The TV could be a bit bigger but apart from that was a lovely room.
The staff were lovely especially with letting us have a private swimming session if we wanted to. They were also very kind and allowed us to stay in their car park for a few extra hours. The room was really nice and cozy.

United KingdomWiFi not too good. Price a bit high for the room but Hay on Wye is popular so prices are higher than surrounding areas.
All good but of particular note to us was the breakfast. Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and haddock with poached egg was very welcome for a pescatarian having had vegetarian breakfasts for several days! I would have loved to try the pool but I think we had a message to say it was unavailable the night of our stay.

United StatesThey had me booked for 1st floor room but were able to accommodate my need for a ground floor room. Parking was free but ridiculous. Had to drive between 2 building with an inch to spare on either side. No room to turn around until other guests left.
I had a ground floor room which was good for my arthritis. The room was very small but comfortable. It was next to the pool. Lots of splashing sounds.
