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 didn't like leaving the property:(
The property is spacious - nice bedrooms, lovely kitchen, amazing dining room, beautiful garden at the front, allocated parking space, clean bathroom/ toilet with brilliant showers facilities. The property is in a quiet & relaxing rural location, right at the border of Wales.There is a big Lidl, roughly 2 miles. We have been at this property in 2021 and now in 2025. We thought it got better as it has been renewed and well maintained. Great to explore North Snowdonia in our case. I would like to stay there again as it a brilliant 10/10 place for a comfortable family stay, in our opinion. The owners are very helpful people.

United KingdomOnly a few small issues that didn't affect our stay negatively at all, but can definitely improve the experience. Although the kitchen was well stocked and had everything needed for cooking, the serrated bread knives provided were not suitable for general chopping. Also some deeper bowls (cereal or salad) would be useful. Soup plates were just a bit shallow for that. Also it would be great to have a mirror in both bedrooms, as we only had a mirror in the hallway to get ready. Front door glass needs some privacy screen as it is close to the bathroom and faces the outside BBQ area.
Excellent location, very quiet and peaceful with a beautiful communal garden by the side of the river. The property although being rural, with some one track roads to reach it, is still only a mile away from Oswestry and all main roads for exploring the region. Short countryside walk to the parts of Montgomery canal. Very spacious property, perfect for 4 people. The aircon in the living room was so much needed during a hot spell. Appreciate the thought put into how the property is used with nightlights, and light switches at convenient places. The beds were very comfortable, with plenty of storage solutions in the bedrooms.

United KingdomWe had all the information to collect the keys and the main door had clear directions on how to use the key box. Though nothnig was working and we thought there was an issue, the host was kindly there to help, we must have missed an email advising us the door would be open and key available as per the arrival time we had confirmed. Super swiftly sorted. The photo do not do justice on how pretty & big the place is, there are perfect amenities for a longer stay if we wanted and the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful. Definitely booking again soon

United KingdomNothing really, the house was a bit cold for my elderly parents.
We loved the remote location amidst farms, which ensured that we had a peaceful and quiet family time. The hosts were great and the house was neat and tidy. House had all amenities to make it comfortable (dish washer, washing machine, cutlery, fridge, cot, parking etc.). Nearest town and shops are about 10 mins away. Loved the fact that a small river flower nearby and the host had setup a lovely outdoor seating next to it, with BBQ facility. My son loved to visit the nearby farms and see the animals. Note that the access is through country roads so make sure the weather is on your side.

United KingdomIt was as expected. However, as property is a little remote, it would have been a kind gesture if tea/coffee and a pint of milk were provided, especially if you have travelled far as there is no local shop.
Accommodation was as I expected for the price. Quality and attention to detail. Friendly and professional hosts. Lovely surroundings.
