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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomNothing! We loved it all!
Everything! We loved the decoration which makes it very unique & the additional little touches which were very appreciated including Prosecco, Welsh cakes, milk, marshmallows (for toasting on the fire pit) & the most amazing honey from the owners bees. Even our dog was catered for, very thoughtful. The games room was great fun & utilised on rainy days. We borrowed tennis rackets from the owner & played tennis at the local court which you can hire. Any issues with the property were swiftly sorted out & any messages were responded to quickly. It was the perfect base to explore the local area & would HIGHLY recommend booking, it’s worth it!

SwitzerlandWe absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely book it again. We were there for the rugby in Cardiff (around 30 minute drive away) but it was the perfect base to explore the Brecon Beacons and whiskey distillery etc and the house was lovely for a group of friends. Super clean and everything perfect (although we found the electric shower problematic but this wouldn’t stop us from staying again). 10/10 😊😊

Great place to stay for our family . Our teenage kids loved the dart board ,pool table and large TV and plenty of room for us to all be together in the living room in the evenings. Warm , cosy and clean house with great decor and lovely to come back to after a day out walking . Owners very prompt to respond with any queries. Unfortunately too wet for us to enjoy the lovely outside area with all of the pretty lighting .

United KingdomThis is a fantastic property to stay in. We loved the quirkiness, the games room was fantastic, the outdoor area was lovely, the beds were super comfy and the quality of the linen and towels equal to a hotel stay, plus dogs are welcome. Finally the home grown honey from the owners bees was a beautiful touch. We will definitely return.

United KingdomThe level of comfort at the stay was exceptional. The beds were incredibly cozy. The attention to detail in the decor was outstanding. The entire space was tastefully and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I felt like I was staying in a stylish and elegant home away from home. It truly added to the overall enjoyment of my visit. I can't praise the comfort and beauty of the house enough! The hosts were incredibly friendly and understanding. I couldn't have asked for better hosts or a more pleasant stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch experience!

United KingdomOverall, we loved the place. However, there are few things that we didn't like, for example, the place wasn't very clean, unfortunately. There was a lot of dog hair all over the house, which the kids were getting covered in, including us. We did sweep daily. The floorboards were sticky, and we didn't pack our slippers, so our feet/ socks were getting dirty. Some floor boards felt like they were loose upstais in the hallway and bedrooms. It was a shame we couldn't access the garden area through the kitchen as there was no door handle on the kitchen door. Some home improvements must have been taking place as screws and nails have been left.
The staff were kind and friendly. There were lovely welcoming and informative notes on the boards as well as a jar of delicious honey 🍯 left for us from their 🐝 beehive. We inquired about buying more jars of honey and were left two jars outside while we were out. Then, a staff member came round with a further two jars of honey. This shows how kind, friendly and generous the staff are 🥰. We liked the card left for us as well as the informative email about the attractions and places to visit nearby. There was also a bottle of an alcoholic beverage, some marshmallows left for us to toast in the fire pit and some biscuits. We appreciated the welcoming sentiment. We liked the games room with the pool table, fussball table, darts board, and the life-size bear which we took selfies with. The decorations in the lounge were quirky 🤪 as well as around the home. There were lots of plants 🪴 I hope they're still alive. The unique walls representing the 🐝 beehive were interesting. We loved the little garden space even though we didn't get to make much use of it due to the weather. We loved the location of the place as it was near local amenities. It was easy to get to travel to attractions, and mostly because it was lower down on the slope of the hill, which made it easier to walk up and downhill with our children 😬. We loved the view from the landing/hallway upstairs, as you could see hills ⛰️ .
