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 KingdomDid not dislike anything. Room decor is probably on to do list but essentials of comfort and friendly reception were first rate and high quality of food was a real bonus.
Quaint, authentic, superb food, log fire, comfy bed, friendly and helpful staff.

United KingdomIf you're a light sleeper take your ear plugs for the road traffic (close but not overly busy) and creeky floorboards.
A lovely comfortable stay in an old timbered hotel with great hosts. Comfortable bed with gorgeous views. We had an excellent meal in the evening, and breakfast was just right.

United KingdomAll fine
The staff were very helpful. My wife has MS , so has issues getting around, and the hotel was very understanding. The room was lovely , with a massive, comfortable bed. I thought the breakfast was great, amongst other things it was lovely to have really nice bread, rather than basic sliced.

United KingdomWe had a lovely large room with some good quality elements, but for what was labelled deluxe accommodation, some of the fixtures and fittings were a bit shabby and could do with an upgrade. And a proper tea and coffee station with a mini fridge would be a big improvement.
A wonderfully quirky little hotel in a very handy location close to Hay on Wye. Breakfast was cooked to order and was tasty.

United KingdomNot much really. Just details. Shower in room 2 needs water retentive panel. Bedside lamp needs minor repair.
Breakfast. Lovely, elegant dining room. Good vegetarian version of English breakfast. Large garden for sitting our after dinner. Lovely lawn curving down to bouldered stream overhung with willows. Children's paradise. Calming, restorative. Stunning view from bedroom. Landlords generous with their time and attention. Tasteful decor and furnishings sympathetic to the style and age of the inn.

United KingdomNo upright/ standing shower but there was hand shower tap on the bath so it wasn't a big deal.
Mark and Lowri are fantastic hosts and the food is excellent! The bed was comfortable and the views towards the black mountains from the property and my room were stunning. The room was exactly what you'd expect from a 14th century building, a little crooked and some fantastic original features, which made the experience feel special. Would definitely have no hesitation in returning.
