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 KingdomProperty was fine but needs a bit of TLC. The settee and chair in the living room was horribly uncomfortable and needs replacing ASAP. The main staircase was awkward and I Actually fell down it hurting myself.
Great location for me as I wanted to visit the Mach Loop all week and Gigrin Farm to picture Red Kites

United KingdomThe weather was unexpectedly cold and wet, so we were maybe not prepared for that and occasionally felt a little cold indoors, but we were comfortable when it came to sleeping.
Great location for our first trip to Snowdonia, plenty to go out and do within a relatively short drive. A great little cottage, just the kind of feel I was looking for. Lovely bathroom and shower! Fantastic views from the windows of the main bedroom and the sitting room.

United KingdomCarpet could do with a deep clean to get rid of the dust and dog hair. A few things feel like they could do with some tlc or replacing.
Beautiful location with lots of lovely walks to explore nearby. Useful leaflets with maps in the cottage. Owners are easy to communicate with and very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area.

United KingdomSome of the light bulbs didn’t work. The bed dipped a little in the middle. The cottage is right on the flight path of the Mach Loop and the planes flying over head during week days were deafening which really spoilt the experience for me personally
Lots of books to browse. A great wood burner, made the room very cosy. A deep bath. Waking up to a mountain outside the window. Friendly owner. A coffee shop a few doors away, which was open on a Sunday too. Lots of way marked paths straight from the cottage, lots to explore and stunning beaches a 45 minute drive away

United KingdomThe cottage was cosy , in a stunning location, the hosts Alex and Paul were friendly and accommodating. It felt like staying in someone’s lovely home , filled with books and art work and the bath of dreams. Having the Tv with streaming channels was perfect for the kids and WiFi worked well downstairs. The cottage is really well thought out and perfect for a short stay. It felt very safe staying there and location is quiet and tranquil.
