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 could be a little challenging if you own a sports car - for my trusty little polo, it was absolutely fine.
The family who owned the property were so lovely and really couldn’t do enough for you……….& the bed was HUGE & so comfy! The continental breakfast was also delicious and so nice to eat off & drink out of traditional china plates & cups.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything that I didn't like.
Stone House has stunning views, perfect place to stay if you like peace and quiet. The bed was very comfortable with an electric blanket. Plenty of hot water from the shower and lovely large bath towel. An electric kettle ,tea, coffee and fresh milk in room. A continental breakfast is included in price and a freshly cooked breakfast is available at an extra cost. Both are very tasty. Emma sent me an email prior to arrival with instructions on how to find Stone House and nearby places to eat.

United KingdomI liked it all but personally would have preferred to have had a small kettle in my room so I could have a cup of coffee / tea in the morning. After my 6 hour drive I just wanted to chill out in my room after a shower but it meant I didnt want to wander down stairs and grab another hot drink whilst wearing my PJ's so I was glad I had brought a couple of bottles of water with me.
My husband Tony booked this for me as I had an event to attend at Builth so was just one nights stay but would have liked to stay longer. I loved the location and the house was gorgeous. A warm greeting by Emma the owner was very welcoming. The furnishings and decor were all in keeping with the age of the house and beautifully done. The bedroom and EnSuite were a good size A king size bed with a comfortable mattress . The curtains were interlined and shut out the light so provided a good nights sleep with no light peeping in. It was lovely and quite as positioned up a little lane with no close neighbors. The morning revealed a beautiful view of the hills and countryside from the large Georgian sash windows. A lovely and interesting house . The communication was excellent from Emma and an email before my stay gave really detailed instructions on how to get there. Cake was also offered on arrival. There was a kettle and tea and coffee available in the dining room. I didnt stay for breakfast in the morning so cant comment on that but from what I saw of it set in the dining room it looked to be a good breakfast and start to the day.

United KingdomEverything was done beautifully. Maybe consider additional vegetarian breakfast options and perhaps an extra towel in the bathroom.
Wonderful views of rolling hills and a gorgeous cozy bedroom. Emma and her mum are charming helpful and informative hosts and even her daughters are hospitable! The bed was extremely comfortable. Lovely bonus to have a guest lounge. Absolutely delicious food in the morning including home-made compote and fabulous eggs. What a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful and historic place. Thank you for allowing us to share your family home.

United KingdomAll was fine.
The location in the middle of the hills was ideal for our journeys to Ludlow and Hay on Wye. The house was lovely and the bed superb, with fantastic views of the hills. Breakfast was simple, but just what we like muesli, yoghurts, compotes, croissant, toast and jams and with excellent coffee. Emma was charming and very helpful with advice on routes and nearby restaurants.

United KingdomMy only negative comment being that the we might be provided with a glass (for drinking water) and/or tea/coffee making facilities in the room...in an otherwise extremely spacious and well appointed bedroom and en-suite bathroom.
A warm greeting on arrival. We paid extra for a cooked breakfast which was really excellent! and good value for money . Emma also agreed to accommodate our request for an early start to the day so that we could make our first appointment on time so all good! The king size bed was amazing and the tranquility of the location was something else! It was a business stop over for us but this must be an idyllic location for those seeking a peaceful retract or walking holiday!
