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 KingdomWe had a truly lovely stay at Wingmore, and Sarah is a wonderful host. Our group of six (four adults and two children) wanted to stay together, so we contacted Sarah in advance to request all three rooms (she usually only books out two if the guests don’t know each other). It worked out perfectly—two double rooms and a twin room. The shared bathroom was no problem at all, and although the guest space is attached to the main house, it still felt private and very comfortable. The house is beautiful, with a charming garden, and we were warmly welcomed with homemade lemon drizzle cake and cookies on arrival—a delightful touch. Breakfast was a delicious continental spread, just what we needed before heading out. A particularly thoughtful detail was finding feminine products in the bathroom drawer—one of us unexpectedly needed them, and it was so greatly appreciated. For dinner, we walked only 20 meters down the lane to the thatched-roof Royal Oak pub, where the food was excellent (budget about £25–£35 per person). Sarah’s communication was excellent throughout, making everything smooth and easy. We only stayed one night before setting off to Longleat the next morning, but we wished we had more time. Overall, it felt like staying in a storybook countryside home—full of warmth, baking, and gardens—in a quaint and welcoming village. As city folk, we absolutely loved the peaceful escape and would happily return.

The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet. A good pub right opposite if you want a meal. The breakfast was adiquate I especially liked the Welsh cakes. We would recommend it to friends

United KingdomSarah was welcoming and friendly when we arrived, and gave us some helpful recommendations for local activities. Sarah's baking and homemade jams are exceptional, we found the breakfast fresh and appealing, and our bedroom and the shared bathroom were clean and comfortable. Pretty front garden too. All very easy and relaxing, and we felt well cared-for throughout our stay despite meeting Sarah only once (on arrival)!

The buffer / continental breakfast was excellent. If I had needed a full English it would have been provided at the good local over the road. This in itself was an unexpected benefit since I was able to have a much needed pint after my long journey

Very tidy, beautifully decorated interior with a great host who is friendly and kind. The bathroom was spotless as well. It's a hidden gem 💎! Parking 🅿️ is available at no additional cost. Breakfast 🥞 includes pastry, honey 🍯, jam, toast, coffee/tea, milk, butter 🧈, fresh fruit, oats, and yogurt. If you need something different or a dinner 🍽️, then just few meters away you can find a restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

We liked everything ! Totally unfussy - it was run like a well oiled machine ! As everyone else said it was spotlessly clean and so peaceful; you wouldn't know there were other people in the house. The breakfast was fabulous and appeared as if by magic first thing when we got up. Thank you for facilitating an early breakfast especially for us ! We will recommend you to all.
