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...).

Very pleasant and welcoming. Cosy and very comfortable .Breakfast top class and service from staff exceptional . Room very clean and my wife and I really enjoyed our overnight stay …Will recommend it . Only query I could not make sense of the television …controls were in another language . Still it did not spoil anything but just wanting to watch Breakfast TV on BBC orITV on Sunday morning was an impossibility for my wife and I .

United KingdomThe location is very remote - we were there for a wedding so it didn't matter. The rooms are small and not very private (it is a super old pub) - can hear conversations from other guests in their rooms and hear them moving around. Bed is very old and squeaky.
Great breakfast in a smart coaching inn. Plenty of space to relax, read books, play chess, enjoy the gardens etc. Drive to Haye on Wye is about 15 mins so not bad.

AustraliaI felt like the lady of the house with the treatment. The staff were amazing. The breakfast was first class. It was like you were transported back to the original beauty of the house. There were quiet places to sit and soak up the opulence of the old charm of the building. Or you could relax in your room in modern comforts.

United KingdomNot having the bathroom in the room.
Great Hotel in a good location for us. I got the last room available so ended up in the roof in a twin room with the bathroom across the hall. It was a pleasant room but let down by having to cross the landing to use the bathroom. However, the staff we met were lovely and the breakfast was superb.

United KingdomThe route around the hotel to the back entrance, which we were told to use late at night, could have been better lit.
Only 10 minutes from Hay Festival, on a main road but very quiet. Old attractive hotel, beautifully appointed inside. Breakfast was freshly cooked, and the staff were very friendly.

United KingdomThe staff could not do enough for us and were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only small issue was that it was on occasion difficult to find a member of staff when we needed help.
The hotel itself is gorgeous, the beds were very comfortable and everything was so clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and I loved the fridge behind reception so I could access fresh milk for tea in my room!

United KingdomWe stayed on the top floor. Beams and door opening to room very low for a moderate height individual, due to nature of the building. Bathroom was separate from room across a landing. Not ideal if you need in the middle of the night, but beautifully presented.
Comfortable, clean, well appointed. Beautifully presented building. Breakfast very welcoming after a late night ! Ideally located for the wedding we attended .
