Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There were little things that could have levelled up our experience - the cooked breakfast took AGES for understandable reasons, but if we were in a rush it would’ve been a challenge. There was no salt on the table so we had to go hunting for it (then ask), and the breakfast room ran out of things very quickly and took a while to replenish (or things had to be requested). It also took us a while to find someone to check in, and the process to check out wasn’t clear. Having said this, these are small things that absolutely didn’t take away from the lovely stay we had - more ‘even better ifs’.
Lovely and friendly staff, clean, comfortable rooms and tasty breakfasts. They were kindly very accommodating of my dietary needs, too.

Needs more hangers/ hooks for clothes - but I could say this for every single hotel/ guest house that I have stayed in.
Stayed for one night. Excellent location, easy to find, near to shops and lovely tandoori restaurant just down the road. Car parking at back with plenty of spaces. Fairly quick check in despite us arriving earlier than planned + responsive host. Room was a good size for family of 4 in annexe. Bathroom was large. Minor issues at start dealt with quickly. Breakfast is outstanding and the service was excellent. WiFi was good. We had a good night's sleep. It was quiet.

Only thing that was missing was a teabag of English breakfast tea. Plenty of flavoured teas, which we are not keen on. No doubt had I asked staff I would have been provided with some. However, I had some in my car.
Car park. Outside room. Airy, quiet and clean.

I can't make any negative comments, it was a good stay. I would recommend the Beacons Guest House and we would stay there again.
The Beacons Guest House is located very close to the town centre, there is good on site parking to the rear, which is easy to find. The Guest House is also very comfortable and clean. They offer a nice cooked breakfast and other choices. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful.

Hotel was easy to find, with private parking and within 3/4 minutes walk of Brecon town centre. Sophie and staff were very friendly and efficient. The breakfast menu had an excellent choice of food (I especially liked their Welsh Breakfast) from cereals/yogurts/rolls etc to a number of cooked breakfast combinations. All cooked breakfasts were cooked beautifully to order by the kitchen team. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and clean. (I especially liked being able to open the window for ventilation rather than air conditioning.)
