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 KingdomSorry to have to say this, but a couple of dogs that were staying there, even tho friendly, we're not on a lead. I think that where there are other people and other dogs, they should always be kept on a lead and not allowed to run free in the grounds.
Everything, it was clean intact spotless and all that we needed was there, e.g. bed linen, towels, washing up items. Etc

United KingdomNothing. I wouldn’t hesitate to return, we feel it’s good value for the area
Clean, basic, not cluttered, pleasant and comforting. Fantastic self catering facilities, We were blessed with wonderful weather so spent most of our time enjoying the outside front lawn, perfect for alfresco dinning. We love the children can play freely whilst in view. They had endless adventures. We saw a deer and a badger and love the walk down to the Ferrier Pub and pull boat over the water. We had a relaxing break and enjoyed ever moment.

AustraliaIt was all lovely. As a small suggestion it would be good to have a top sheet instead of a duvet on a hot night. Perhaps they were stored somewhere. But a lovely place to stay.
Very comfortable home away from home. Lots of attractions and places to eat within easy reach.

United KingdomThe access route to the cottage can get a little congested if the other guest are being inconsiderate, but it's no big deal. Not really much more to complain about.
Great location in close proximity to nice walks, pubs, and the river. The host was available when we arrived and met us as we checked out. The property was phenomenal for the price. Something similar would easily be twice the price in Cornwall or the Lakes and Symonds Yat is just a beautiful.

United KingdomWe stayed at the Paddocks Cottages as a family group, booking 4 of them in total. Each cottage was lovely, they were all thoroughly clean, homely and had everything we could possibly want was available in the kitchens. Overall a lovely short stay was had in Symonds Yat, with a nice bit of garden out the front of the cottages which saw frequent visitors from deer, rabbits and pheasants. Thoroughly recommend.
