Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe cottage was lovely. The owners were really helpful, even coming out at 10.30 at night with spare keys to lock one of the doors. The garden area was peaceful. We had all the facilities we needed, with plenty space for all of us. The owners of the local shop were friendly and helpful, with great suggestions for places to visit. We had a really wonderful holiday. Thanks.

United KingdomParking on the lane outside of the cottage does require caution as tractors and other large farm vehicles require access. There is an agreement with the nearby glamping site if you want off-street parking.
Very comfortable beds, a massive bath, and a rural old charm really make this cottage a worthy place to stay. If you like sitting outside there is also a large garden wirh a summerhouse and barbeque. There is a pub, petrol station, and a general store straddling the A40 adjacent to the cottage.

United KingdomWe couldn't find how to plug in our amazon stick to the TV - this is a very minor issue, as the weather was far too good to watch the TV :).
The property was well looked after, very clean and provided everything we needed for a weekend away. It was particularly well positioned on a quiet lane, having a fantastic pub within walking distance and a wonderful, very well stocked village shop.

United KingdomSome of the ceilings and door frames are low and the men kept hitting their heads! The hot tub room has a very pretty but slippery tiled floor and we felt there should be more mats available to prevent accidents.
Lovely cottages. We stayed in the 3 bed and 2 bed, which are joined by the garden and so we all had access to a hot tub. Lovely big hot tub which was very warm with good jets. We had everything we needed and the beds are very comfortable.

United KingdomIf self catering we would suggest bringing extra cutlery and sharp knives. Be aware that the shower leaked from beneath the bath of which the owners are aware. Also take care in the garden room as because it's an outside room, when it rains heavily the water does run down the outside wall onto the high gloss floor tiles.
Fantastic huge hot tub in a lovely enclosed, under cover garden room. Comfy beds, pillows and furniture. Plenty of hot water and powerful shower.Lovely thick fluffy towels. Central heating is very efficient. Owners were extremely quick in responding to a couple of queries we had. Lovely pub and we'll stocked village shop within a few yards of the cottage.

United KingdomUnfortunately we only got to use the hot tub once due to the overpowering fumes from the chlorine. Even with both the door and window wide open, it stung everyone's eyes. It also left a burning sensation on our skin.
Lovely cottage with huge kitchen/diner and living room. Very clean, friendly, helpful owners. Great shop just across the road.

United KingdomWe had trouble locking the front door and were unable to contact the host. We managed in the end so it wasn’t a problem. The TV was very temperamental due to the internet connection but this was no fault of the host and wasn’t an issue for us.
Great location, lovely cottage. We particularly liked the quirky features of the cottage. Village shop just across the road with everything you might need. Great place to use as a base to visit the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas.
