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 KingdomI liked everything. It was perfect.
Fabulous location for travelling the area and amenities in the town. Several pubs and two small supermarkets chip shop etc. Whilst in the town centre it was really quiet. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in months here. The bed and breakfast is fabulous! Traditional charm. Large rooms. Comfy beds. Very clean! Super soft fluffy towels. Great breakfast. Owners Jill and Michael were lovely hosts. Friendly but not imposing. All their jams and chutneys are homemade and delectable. They have two of the most fabulous elderly dogs. Watch as you park as they love to have a little wander down the road. The dogs are not allowed upstairs so please don’t let this put you off if you’re not a dog person. They have parking for three to four cars accessed by a small road to the back. It just has green gates and no signage. It’s easiest to check in first and then find the parking.

FranceThe only issue we experienced was the WiFi failed on our final day.
Mike and Jill are welcoming hosts. They were always available, offering suggestions and generally checking to be sure we were comfortable. The room was very comfortable and surprisingly cool in the midst of a heatwave. Not forgotten was Jill’s stellar breakfast.

United KingdomHard to think of anything to improve
This is an ancient and charming guest house in the centre of Llandovery, decorated to a very high standard and very comfortable. Despite the extremely hot weather during our stay, the interior was cool and inviting. Breakfast was also delicious, with both the full fried breakfast and the scrambled egg proving excellent choices. We would not hesitate to recommend The Drovers to anyone looking for great value accommodation in this part of Wales.

United KingdomThe facilities in the room were very basic. 😒An old hairdryer, a very, very small TV, a few sachets of coffee and tea, sugar, two bottles of water and some toiletries in the extremely small on suite (no soap or toothpaste though🤔) A small fridge would benifit the room to keep the water (and extra milk we bought because we couldn't see the owners to ask) cool.. along with a bigger tele and a bigger mirror. Unfortunately the toilet made an awful noise every half hour or so which disturbed our sleep.. after having to listen to the pub on the square kick out and then for the yobs to move on from their spot outside at around 2am. The room could also do with a deep clean as there was cobwebs in the bathroom and the bed base was quite dusty. WiFi that reaches the top rooms would also be nice. A general update would be good for this lil b and b.
Both owners were lovely and welcoming and their dogs are beautiful. 🥰🥰The location and the building itself has tonnes of character. A few small shops to browse and pubs to eat at.. 🏰 The breakfast at the b and b was absolutely delicious! 🍳👌The towels and bedding were spotless. 🛌😁 We had a lovely lil flower box on the window with a view of the lil castle ruins there overlooking the square and fountain. 💐 The locals were all very pleasant. 😊
