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 rooms were comfortable but also creatively designed with some great attention to detail. Often even boutique hotels cut corners with the actual standard of fitments such as baths but Swaine House really does provide quality as well as style! Breakfast was great, Jason helpful and friendly and I liked having real coffee provided in my room instead of short cut instant!!

United KingdomThere was some late night noise from the pub opposite but this, of course, isn't anything the B&B can control but bring earplugs if you're staying over the weekend and have trouble getting to sleep with noise.
Great B&B. Very clean and comfortable. Easy parking nearby in Pay & Display car park. Breakfast was nice.

Very welcoming and helpful staff, wonderful decor, the cleanest hotel I've personally ever stayed in. Convenience store a 30 second walk from the front door, and the sea front only a further 2 minutes away, an excellent place to stay for a weekend getaway!

United KingdomThe room was quite hot. But we just opened a window and then it was fine.
The place was beautiful and smelt amazing, from the front door all the way to our room. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated/kitted out. Hosts were perfect combination of helpful and friendly without being too in your face. Breakfast was great, really well cooked. We had a rare night off (2 young kids) so we just wanted somewhere quiet to go and sleep. It was so so perfect, I slept like a log for a solid 8 hours, for the first time in ages!

United KingdomThe only thing that was a slight disappointment was the noise from outside due to being on the main street through Watchet - but then you really cannot hold Swain House accountable for that.
The room was very tastefully decorated and was very clean. The hosts were very pleasant and the breakfast was cooked to perfection.

United KingdomThe room was absolutely fantastic. Jason met us at the entrance and gave us a brief introduction to Swain House before giving us the option whether we wanted him to show us to our room or not (due to COVID preferences). Jason was a fountain of local knowledge and explained to us where in the area was open/closed for dinner & drinks and his recommendations for the places that were open. The room was immaculate and clean. Bathroom amenities were great and there were also two Stroopwafel's waiting for us in the room which was a really nice touch. Watchet itself is a small but charming place and Swain House fully does it justice with the atmosphere and vibe. Would definitely recommend the award-winning Pebbles Tavern if you're looking to sample a few gins and Ciders too! Breakfast was also very nice with meat and vegetarian options on the menu as well as a selection of hot drinks. We were told that it was usually a buffet setup but the B&B's reaction to COVID guidelines meant they decided to serve plated dishes from the kitchen instead which was fine by us and we felt comfortable at all times during our stay. We would fully recommend Swain House to anybody looking to visit the area and would certainly return ourselves.

United KingdomThe TV is small (if you want to watch it, we didn't); the front rooms overlook a narrow street, there was some street noise (single glazed windows, probably a listed building) and the residential buildings opposite looked directly into the bathroom and bedroom - possibly some privacy glass could help.
Breakfast was great - good options available the night before and delivered safely to the door. The hotel is small, boutique, lovely rooms, very clean and has adapted well to Covid situation. Very helpful communication in advance (make sure you check your email) and knowledgable staff.
