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 KingdomThere is nothing to not like.
A fantastic place to stay, unwind and relax. Yvonne was an amazing host and couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Everything is spotlessly clean and modern. Breakfast was fantastic too and really set me up for the day.

United KingdomNothing negative to comment about the property….just wish we’d bought swimsuits to use the hot tub and sauna!!
Yvonne & Jim went above and beyond for myself and my partner. We were unsure about the area and were staying as we were attending a wedding nearby. They looked after us, were kind, considerate and very helpful. The room it’s self felt like a home away from home, comfy and breakfast was an absolute treat each morning. Thank you for having us stay! Definitely would stay again!

United KingdomIf I'm honest there was absolutely nothing I did not like. So much thought gone into the place.
Yvonne was an amazing host, literally felt like nothing was too much trouble. She really made us feel welcome and she was really nice in helping us with some tight timeframes and itinerary. Breakfast was fantastic. Loved the vegetarian options and vegetarian haggis was a first for me. Perfect.

United KingdomOnly two suggestions for improvement - some hooks for clothes and handtowel in the bathroom would be really handy; maybe try a different floor cleaner in the bathroom as the current one is extremely slippery with socks or bare feet.
The guest house is fantastic. Some highlights: - The location is beautiful and serene, surrounded by a river and birdsong. - The room is beautifully decorated and beds are comfortable. - The breakfast was delicious. - The hot tub and outdoor cabin are great. - The host was lovely.

United KingdomThis place was absolutely stunning. The hostess was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. The room was really nice. Comfy bed. Smart TV. Good internet. Very nice shower. Lovely toiletries provided as well. We could open our back bedroom door in to a beautiful stunning garden area with jacuzzi, sauna, loads outdoor seating areas, nice out house with fridge and chairs too. Stunning few of river at the back. Loved the hot tub. Nice hot temperature which l love. The couple who own the place were really helpful but at the same time not in our faces. Very safe secure place. Easy to park and not far from the town centre to drive to. Had breakfast upon leaving and oh wow was amazing. Can’t wait to return and take my mum.
