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 KingdomTowels are a bit thin, could do with some thicker ones
We have stayed at The Swan Hotel a few times and have to say all the staff are really friendly, they can't do enough for you. Great location and decent breakfast.

United KingdomLiterally the only thing that we found to criticise was the tiny bath towels which didn’t dry very well.
Our stay at The Swan was delightful. A very warm welcome, a quiet, spacious room with comfy beds and an excellent “steak night” meal. Really good breakfast too.

United KingdomThere was an electrical round thing on the ceiling. Probably something to do with a fire alarm. It had a light which in the night was focused on the bed by the pillow. I explained to the staff that maybe the bed or alarm could be moved. It was stopping me sleep as I like a dark room. The staff member said she would speak to the management.
Lovely room exceptionally clean. Bed, shower, toilet. Good breakfast lots of choice. Good car park at the back, free.

The manager was lovely...very warm and hospitable. The room was clean and had everything necessary for a short stay. The two staff I met were really pleasant.

United KingdomBathroom on other side of corridor, must remember your door key if you use it.
Comfortable room, no desk but no problem for 1 night. Seperate bathroom, don't forget your key during the night. Bathroom roomy enough for shower, shave etc. There is a hand sink in the room Didn't have dinner but breakfast freshly cooked, very tasty. Hotel is situated in the centre of Lydney close to restaurants, take aways and supermarkets. Very quiet night despite being on the high street. Will stay there again

Its location is great as we went to a lot of nearby places and forests. The hosts there are really kind and friendly, always asked if we needed anything. The bar is a nice place to sit down to unwind and we also ate dinner there which is really good! There’s also parking space at the back of the hotel.
