Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomIt would be nice if they did breakfasts too but as stated there is a very good café just up the road.
Owner was very friendly. There was room in the street to park our car (just! :) and we were right by the bus stop, where the regular Nr 9 bus service took us into the city centre. Our room was not 'en suite' but we knew this beforehand. Each day we had a lovely breakfast at the Black and White café up the road.

United KingdomThe bathrooms cleanliness was mid, the problem with shared bathrooms and not the fault of the owners. the floors were a bit dirty, which is a common problem with wooden floors as the dirt hides between the boards so got dirty feet. considered using the kettle but opened it and the smell was terrible water had clearly been left to stagnate at some point and it wasn't cleaned.
I really liked the comfort levels of the bed. the chandaler was cute for a couples room. bed was a good size. close to the shops which was good as food is not offered on site but there were microwaves provided in the rooms and the said we could ask for plates/cutlery.

United KingdomThe view from the window, however that is out of owners control due to buildings that back onto theirs. Told on arrival that no breakfast was available however there is a cafe a short walk away. Unsure is this a permanent thing as it is a B&B.
The location. Very central and within walking distance of town and bay. I had the en suite room and although the interior is a little dated the bed linen and bed covers etc were spotless and the bed very comfortable. Great nights sleep and as on the back of the property no noise from the road. Plenty of free on street parking.

United KingdomCleanliness not great in room - dusty in some places and bathroom towel rail rusting. Bedside lamps need pearl bulbs as light bulbs far too bright. Bathroom in Harlech room has heavy wooden sliding door right next to bed that leaves a crack so privacy is not 100%. Metal bed frame loudly squeaked and groaned during any physical movement such as turning over. Some peeling wallpaper. Generally a little run down and shabby when a little TLC would transform the place reasonably cheaply and easily.
Good location for Cardiff Centre. Free on-street parking. Helpful and friendly staff with efficient and smooth check-in. Extremely comfortable mattress on bed. Good price per night in comparison with similar venues in the area.

Czech RepublicVery small room, a bit noisy during the night... ( We heard every step in other rooms, also some noise maybe from the neighbours?) There is a sliding door to the bathroom, which does not close all the way... there was a gap that was very uncomfortable when you wanted privacy in the bathroom. If you travel alone, it is fine. Not very clean bathroom, there was even mold in some places.
Good location with everything we needed, very kind staff.

United KingdomSadly, the location of a shared washroom was next to our room. Not a massive problem but as I’m a light sleeper, any time it was used, in the night or early morning, I was awoken. Just unfortunate. Also, I think there may have been a boxed in boiler or main pipes in our room, so whenever another bathroom was used, the sound in our room of the pipes, seemed magnified. Also, the decor is very “tired” and in desperate need of refreshing. I completely appreciate these guys are still recovering from the devastation of covid and revamping decor is a pricey business, they do however, absolutely allow for this in their nightly rate. My humble suggestion would be to at least invest in some new pillows and bedding overall.
The location was perfect for us, as we like to walk and it’s about 15 minutes into the city centre. The room was clean, of an adaquate size, with a very convenient en-suite. The hosts couldn’t do enough for you and we’re very knowledgeable about the area. They were always contactable for any help you may need. Tea and coffee facilities were available and a very welcomed bottle of fresh water to drink in the room.

SwitzerlandMost of the rooms shared wash facilities which did lead to some people needing to use them at the same time, but it's something that can be worked around.
The room was clean and easily accessible and contained all the necessities to spend a few nights and the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomDated TV’s, room wasn’t particularly clean plenty of dust under bed, lights hanging in bathroom and boiler for hotel based in room 1. No breakfast anymore and while there technically is plenty of parking available there is no dedicated spaces for Ty Rosa so finding a space maybe a fair bit up or down the road.
Cheap considering that the city centre isn’t to far away. Free WiFi, hosts friendly and have enough information about hotel and local area on arrival.
