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 KingdomVery little.
Great pub hotel. Its a pub hotel which has some really nice rooms attached. Staff are excellent and make the place. Breakfast is good and has a good choice. They dont serve evening meals but they allow residents to bring takeaway food in from a wide range of takeaways nearby and provide the knives, forks and condiments. Stay again? Yes !

United KingdomI cannot think of anything negative about the place. We will most certainly go back to stay. Thank you, to all concerned, especially the beautiful young lady, with the long blond hair and a little white dog, you were a complete star.
The room was brand new. I believe the owner is in the process of expanding the place. The work, so far, is of a high standard and, once finished, the grounds will be a bonus. We were made to feel very welcome, from the moment we arrived. The staff could not have been more helpful. They weren’t pushy, or overpowering, but, if we had any questions they were more than willing to help. The whole atmosphere of the place was warm and friendly.

United KingdomNo food available after breakfast at present, but I understand that this may change in future. Beware that local restaurants finish serving relatively early (2030).
Great place to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good atmosphere and friendly locals. Comfortable en-suite double room. Well equipped with plenty of tea and coffee making provisions available in the room. Good range of breakfast available. Nice relatively quiet location.

United KingdomI had forgotten the hotel doesn’t serve food in the evening, but then there are 4 places to eat within 5 min walk of the Swan and they’re very happy for you to bring in a take away if you so choose. There’s nothing not to like.
Great location. Super friendly staff and patrons. Everyone’s very kind and accommodating. Lovely breakfasts, I was out during the day to comment on daytime feeding but there is plenty to choose from for evening meals. Nice beers on tap. MUCH cheaper for a beer at the Swan than anywhere else in town. Loads of TVs for sports and huge outside seating area. Also for motorcyclists there is a secure area around the back to store you bike.

MaltaNo evening meals at the pub was the only disappointment
I was in the block of rooms next to the pub (room 15) for 6 nights. The shower was better than my one at home, the bed was very comfy. Staff were great, very friendly especially the cleaner who welcomed me every morning with very cheery ‘Morning’ and massive smile. She made my day. The weather was glorious and I loved taking my morning coffee next the babbling stream in the quiet early morning fresh air. Heaven! Also, very close to a Tesco (5 min walk) which was very handy.

The staff was so lovely and accommodating. They accommodated our late check in perfectly. The facilities were fabulous. Very decent sized rooms and bathrooms, lovely mountain views. Very reasonably priced.

AustraliaRoom 6 is a twin room with bunk beds which reduces space (we were a couple travelling so did not need the bunk beds and would rather have the floor space). Also the room is incredibly hot (above the kitchen) with no way to control temperature (no thermostat, and really hot even with windows fully open). That said if you like that then this is the room for you. Extremely squeaky floorboards and the shower sounds like it’s about to take off!
Location was excellent for visiting family. Good cooked breakfast and dining times. Free parking onsite
