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 KingdomThe room was clean and very stylish. The music room was a work of art. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The biggest praise I have is for Nigel (I hope I got his name correct), who served the most amazing breakfast. Possibly the best bread and croissants I've ever eaten.

United KingdomThe room we had didn’t have anywhere to put our toiletries in the bathroom. I’m guessing there will be further improvements along the way because there could be some planters, with attached trellising, to provide some privacy on the balcony.
Fantastic location. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomIt would have been lovely to have had a meat or cheese plate to nibble on for supper so we didn't have to venture out again once we got settled in.
Rosie and her partner who was the chef were amazing hosts. When we arrived Rosie was straight out the door with a friendly wave and began to tell us where we were staying and the checkin/out details. We were shown to our room with an AMAZING view and settles in to a lovely gold gilt effect French bed. We were lucky enough to watch the sunset and see the stars out later that night. Breakfast was served in the room where the owners wife practises her singing as she is an opera singer!! What a delight this place is: tranquil and restful in beautiful Wales.

United KingdomNo staff onsite except for the breakfast. I know this is the intention and staff are expensive but a bit of contact would pump up the rating.
Beautiful location in the Dovey valley with superb view north to the hills. We had a spectacular sunset. Quiet and peaceful. The hotel has been refurbished with an Italianate theme - clever use of gold paint and quirky decorations. Great breakfast with good choices.

Text from Plas Dolguog prior to arrival clearly detailing how to assess house and room and checking for any food allergies. Quick response from them to any questions asked. Plas Dolguog is beautifully decorated throughout with a modern chic feel and our room was clean, comfortable and had a good size balcony with views of the mountains. The shower had a choice of rain shower head and adjustable head and was very easy to use. The dining room has a grand piano in it and the whole place has a touch of quiet elegance with a homely feel. The house itself is old, and has wooden bean details and charming sloping floors. There is a great selection for breakfast and the chef can adapt the menu should you have allergies. I discussed this over text the day before. I recommend trying their own honey.

United KingdomNobody to welcome us when we arrived to check in. We had a problem accessing one of the rooms and there was nobody on site to help out. Luckily one of our party is very tech savvi and managed to contact support but as a more elderly person with mobility issues this could have been a big challenge for me. We missed seeing the owners. The shower in the bedroom was lovely but the floor was very slippy when wet- again an issue for those who are less mobile.
Breakfast was delicious and served in an elegant music room complete with grand piano in line with the opera theme. Nigel, the front of house, was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the hotel. Lovely, quirky small hotel set in beautiful surroundings with amazing views from the bedroom balconies.

I am amazed to receive a request for a questionnaire on our stay as we did not turn up due to my suffering a health episode. I emailed both Plas Dolguog and booking.com to cancel but never received an acknowledgement from either. I will not be arranging another stay as the lack of personal contact at this hotel is staggering.
