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 KingdomThe service was a bit slow due to shortage of staff.
Room was clean and it was in a quiet location. The Swan also has a car park, an added bonus. The selection on the breakfast menu was good, along with the self-service, cereals, juices, fruit etc.

United KingdomThe room at the front of hotel could do with less traffic noise, but that depends on what the hotel is allowed to do.
Well the room was very clean and tidy, the location was very good, the food on our first night and breakfast the following morning was very good, the second day not so good.

United KingdomWe booked because of the car park. We had 2 sets of golf clubs in the car. The car park was full. We were told everyone parked there were residents. We saw a few staff members parking there. Another couple that were staying there a week said they had to be back at 2pm every day to get a parking spot.
Welcome from the staff was just what we needed after a very busy day.

United StatesAsked for early check in in February notes and followed up and no accommodating, not even with an hour after long commute. Checked in after 3 pm when ready. This is the biggest, best room….could have tried to accommodate. Hotel restaurant. Unlike other hotels, no rooms saved for hotel guests. When inquired would take ANY time slot in two days…very unaccomodating again. Fortunately the restaurants across the street were terrific.

United KingdomHaving to wait for my evening meal, I thought the time from ordering to it actually being served over two nights wasn't acceptable. Also, it appeared more was off the menu than was actually on it. Overall, this did let our trip down. Sorry.

United KingdomDespite presenting as a period coaching Inn, the Swan is unfortunately more like an upmarket Travel Lodge. Decorated in grey, with chrome fittings, every bit of character has been beaten out of this building. So disappointed to see this desecration of history.

United KingdomThe original room /suiet I booked was very luxurious but rather dark and had no view. They kindly allowed me to change to one with an excellent view.
Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating when I wanted to change rooms. I also failed to book an evening meal but staff went out of their way to provide a meal for us despite them being very busy. Nothing was too much trouble!

United KingdomI was delayed by traffic and arrived at 8:50 pm after booking a table for 8:00pm and so missed out. It was entirely my fault but if your website had stated the time for last orders for dinner, I could have stopped elsewhere during my 130 mile drive from Hertfordshire. Your on-line check-in doesn’t work.

CanadaBeds could have been a bit more comfortable.
Wells is a delightful hidden gem of a "city" and this is an excellent hotel right in the heart of it. We had a small issue with our first room which was immediately handled by finding a new room for us. On the night there wasn't a wedding the place was quiet and peaceful. Beds were comfortable. Restaurant was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomVery little not to like. The water pressure in the basin was low but not in the shower, which would have been more of a problem. It was very busy and the car park was a bit chaotic. This was sorted out very efficiently by the staff.
Room location was very good. Quiet and very few steps to climb. There was a good walk in shower with lovely toiletries. Breakfasts were excellent and the staff were very pleasant. Good location in the centre of Wells.
