Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomWe backed on to some neighbours gardens at the back of the “Apartment “ one of the neighbours dog yapped at 6:30 am both mornings of our stay so there wasn’t much chance of sleeping in. I would imagine it would have been different on the riverside.
Such a beautiful location and extremely private. And only a 15 minutes walk from the town. The complimentary boat ride in the morning to save the walk was fantastic with great views along the way.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The whole experience was superb from start to finish. The accommodation was in a perfect position for walking into Bath, both the Walcot Street area and the centre of Bath, taking 15- 20 minutes. The accommodation was of an excellent standard and the large balcony spanning the entire property fronting the river was perfect for sitting and watching the world go by on the river. Everything within Swan House was furnished to a very high standard, and we loved reading about the history of the property dating back to the 1830s. It had absolutely everything we needed and more. The owners were very friendly and communication was excellent. We took the boat into Bath on our final morning which leaves from the front of Swan House. Very highly recommended!

Great team on site, lovely location right on the river - very peaceful. Free parking, restaurant on site (didn’t eat there but heard great reviews from fellow guests). Only 20 min slow stroll into town and the free boat ride option into town was a bonus. Great accommodation, kitchen well equipped, toiletries in bathroom. Extra dressing room. Great to sit on balcony with morning cuppa. Visitor with four paws every morning was cute … Meme the friendly lurcher, but we were both happy to share our breakfast with her.

United KingdomA Perfect Riverside Retreat, Just a Stroll from the City Centre July 2025 "We have visited Bath on multiple occasions, but this was our first time staying in this location, and it has ticked all of the boxes for us. The accommodation offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Location & Parking: The property is ideally situated in a calm, beautiful area, providing a peaceful escape while being just a very safe and pleasant 10-15 minute walk into central Bath. The on-site parking was a game-changer—effortless and secure, which is a rare luxury in the city. Comfort & Amenities: The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and wonderfully comfortable, providing a perfect base to relax after a day of exploring. The true highlight, however, was the private garden patio with its serene view over the river. Ending our day there with a glass of wine became a cherished ritual. This accommodation genuinely ticks every box for a perfect Bath stopover. It will always be our first choice for future visits, and we cannot recommend it highly enough."
