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...).

We have stayed in a number of properties in Gloucester while visiting family - now we have found the best. The location is ideal with glorious Gloucestershire countryside but only 15 mins from major shops, the property is excellent, beautifilly presented with all the facilities and nore that you could ask for and the welcome from the owners was wonderful. We're looking forward to our next visit.

Great place, clean, tidy and modern, everything we needed, good location near the Cotswold Way and value for money. The host was friendly and helpful.

FranceBeautiful, both location and accommodation, very peaceful and private. The accommodation has been sympathetically renovated with style. It has everything you need, and ( for us coffee snobs) local roasted coffee beans for the coffee machine. Highly recommend and we will definitely stay again when visiting family.

United KingdomNot dislikes - suggestions A few more instructions were needed: coffee maker, hob, oven. Maybe an outline of the farm and potential walks. Where the communal washing machines were, how to use. The drive was a dust bowl, mainly due to very dry weather.
One of a group of eight cottages very recently transformed from farm buildings. This has been done to a very high standard and it was a delight. Views were lovely and listening to the children play in the open courtyard.

United KingdomIt gets very hot during summer, fans provided but can not keep a whole room cool. The digital thermostat was very confusing, with no instructions on how to use it. Lots of cobwebs at slightly above head height if you are on the taller side, had to clean a lot of them myself. A regular clean-up of webs and spiders would be nice. Bugs and spiders are expected obviously it being out in the countryside and a farm.
Great views, comfortable bed, kitchen fully equipped for most basic meals. The shower was nice and strong. Lots of drawer space for clothing. Remote dimmable lights are a nice touch if you don't like pitch black rooms. Was able to order food to the location easily. Lots of parking. Can do BBQS too, if you are interested in doing so. Lovely open living plan. Wild rabbits and cows roaming nearby all day long if you are an animal lover.

United KingdomThe sofa faced the TV, but there was a beautiful view at the side, so for our stay, we moved the sofa and the table. There were a few things we highlighted to the owners that could make the property better, but there was nothing we didn't like.
We had received a message from the owner who told us which property we had, that the door would be open and where to park. It is a lovely property, in an off the beaten track which is what we wanted.

United Arab EmiratesA more accurate visual representation would help potential guests appreciate its true beauty.
The Hayes Farm is a truly refreshing retreat. The picturesque location, coupled with the tranquil surroundings, offers a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle. The added benefit of easy access to urban amenities is a perfect balance. It's worth noting that the property's real charm is best experienced firsthand, as the photos don't fully capture its beauty."
