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...).

MaltaProperty is on a hill, takes about 18 minutes to walk from train/bus station but there is a bus that stops just outside the property. The water pump is quite noisy and the walls are not soundproofed. Luckily the other guests were very respectful with noise.
Beautifully renovated property Spacious rooms with large shower Very comfortable mattress and pillows Lovely owners

United KingdomThe room was exceptional: spacious, with a dining table two in the main room, plus lounge area, a galley kitchen which was exceptionally well equipped, including with a washing machine and oven. The room also had air conditioning, which was very welcome in the extreme heat at the weekend. Location was perfect for exploring the Brecon Beacons.

United KingdomBed was small for us and low and was on the hard side. Didn't sleep great but we did sleep. Hotel was up atop a hill which was a slog of a walk for us. We arrived by train.
People, very welcoming. Room spacious. Kitchenette well laid out. I only made a cup of tea. Shower, very good. Lovely looking building. I only took one photograph, sorry.

FranceThe parking was a little difficult to find locally - there were building projects on one street and the other close was heavily residential… but always eventually found a spot
Easy to find and all instructions were emailed in advance. I didn’t meet any of the owners

United KingdomThe people in the room above us returned late at night and as our room was by the front door, their heavy footfall woke us up
These studios were superb, ultra clean, the beds were comfy and the room was quiet. The kitchen was well equipped with fridge/ freezer, microwave, kettle, sink and washing machine, tea, coffee. Fresh Eccles cakes were also provided and were so yummy! It is a short walk into town also.

United StatesHost has thought of pretty much everything!
Good upscale part of town. It was a little difficult to find but host had detailed instructions, which helped a lot. Parking slightly challenging but not impossible. The rooms are beautifully designed and furnished thoughtfully; bedding and linen are good. Kitchen quite useful. Bath very well updated. Host had area information in a folder. Nice welcome with Welsh cakes.

United KingdomNothing I didn't like.
The accommodation had practical and thoughtful touches not found in most places. eg a non slip mat for the shower and earplugs. Claire is a perfect host, friendly and chatty but not intrusive. I loved that she was proud of her home town and I would highly recommend Glenthorne and hope to stay again. Bus stops are just a few steps away with a frequent service into town. Superb!!
