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.).

AustraliaIt was extremely difficult to offload our luggage as you couldn’t park on the road outside the B&B. Also, even though we had a parking permit it was difficult to find a parking spot.
The property was well located in the heart of Ironbridge. We had a lovely room and the breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomThe shower is a bit fierce! but otherwise perfect. and pillows a little uncomfortable, could be softer. That's it!
I love this place. I had another booking a lot cheaper but when a friend couldn't make it I chose this place over the other. I stayed here last year (in the smaller double, Chaucer room) and was really looking forward to returning to it. It has a door right next to the bed that opens up into a beautiful little haven. Your own little patio with table and chairs where I had my fish n chips (from local good chippy) and a stepped garden with flowers and another patio and grass area, and the church just there at the back too, such a lovely peaceful place with a view over the old roof tops. Sarah and Tim are perfect hosts, providing everything you need plus that little extra touch. Breakfast is cooked with fresh local produce and is superb. I even managed to park nearer this time too, using the provided permit, just a minute away in village carpark.

AustraliaExcellent, friendly hosts, Sarah & Tim. Thoroughly enjoyed our chats & gave us ideas on what to see & do in Ironbridge. We were in the Chaucer room which also had an outdoor seating area into the garden. We were greeted with a cup of tea & slice on arrival & Sarah catered beautifully for my dietary requirements. The Library House is very central to the main street, tourist attractions & walks. Would definitely stay again

The property is a delightful Georgian building. It is full of character. It’s located in the heart of the village and ideal for exploring the local trinket shops. The breakfast was as good as one I’ve had at a hotel with a Michelin star. Superb.

United KingdomNothing…wish we had explored the area more fully.
We are mature cyclists. We travelled from South Wales to Shrewsbury along the National Cycle Network, stopping at four hotels en route. Of the four this was by far the most memorable. The hostess, Sarah, couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Our bikes were stored overnight in a safe secure spot. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the breakfast menu was imaginative and beautifully presented. We will remember this stay far more than the others

United KingdomWe would have preferred to have an earlier check in, perhaps 3-3.30pm, but maybe that wasn't suitable for the host. Everything else was great.
Hotel is situated in the centre of Ironbridge and very easy to locate from the directions provided by the host. We were shown to our room which was very tastefully decorated. The host then offered us tea and coffee and some delicious chocolate brownies, which were served in the sitting room. We were also given a menu with several breakfast choices, which also included cereal and fruit juice. In our room we also had tea, fresh coffee and hot chocolate, and we were provided with a flask of milk. The host made sure that we had everything we required and that we were comfortable. We had a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend The Library House.
