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 are 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 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 KingdomMy room was up two 1/2 flights of stairs - not a problem if you have no mobility issues or heavy luggage but worth noting there's no lift. I was disturbed by some very loud people on the street at night (possibly from the pub a couple of doors down?) so not great if you are a light sleeper if your room is on the main road side. Bring earplugs! Duvet was too thin.
Nicely decorated room and very compact but well appointed ensuite. Liked the heated towel rail and abundance of towels. Great location, 15/20 min walk to the heart of the city centre. Friendly staff and nice looking restaurant, though I didn't eat there. Check out very simple.

IrelandThe toilet was cold, since you keep it separate from the sink and shower you should place a heater inside.

United KingdomThe hairdryer didn’t work unfortunately. Just to note that the property is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs up to the room, and as a user of crutches I found the stairs a little tricky. There is an Italian restaurant downstairs that we did not use as there was limited vegetarian options. It is a highly reviewed restaurant though!
A very cosy, modern and clean room, with nice ensuite shower. The decor was lovely and it was a peaceful stay. It might have been the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever stayed on. There was a good amount of tea/coffee and towels. The location is good, about 15ish minutes walk to the castle. Not too close to the city, and was quiet on a Saturday night. Staff seemed nice!

United KingdomUpon arrival the room was cold, the heating was switched off and I had to ask staff to switch it on which they did( I shouldn't have to ask, it was about 1°c outside) I woke up around 8 am to find the room getting colder. They had switched off the heating ready for an 11am departure. Trying to get us out early? It worked. When your paying £120 for the night you shouldn't have to come to a cold room or wake up to a cold room. The heating issue let the property down.
Good bathroom, very clean, bed was very comfortable though a little low. Short walk into centre of Cardiff. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomIf I was really nit-picking I would say the decor is a little tired but for the money it's completely within expectations. Initial grumpy person at reception was not a big deal either ;)
Fantastic location. Initial individual at reception was pretty grumpy but the girl who checked me in was excellent, efficient and very professional. Room was fantastic in a great location and outstanding value for money. My sister typically stays opposite at the Beverley but will be recommending here. Didn't have an opportunity to try the restaurant as was too busy over the weekend (Ivy Asia!) but will do so next time around. Typically I'd stay at the Hilton, Marriott or one of the faceless "big" hotels but enjoyed supporting a smaller, family business and the room had everything I needed.

United StatesI didn’t really understand why there was a sensor for the light in the bathroom and it would go off when I was in the shower and stay on at night longer than I wanted it to. it was a bit hot as well and I couldn’t figure out the front windows
the room was so cute! and the location was extremely convenient for Principality. the staff went above and beyond helping me with my check in as my flight got delayed and I got in really late.
