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 KingdomThe bed in the second bedroom was broken, the owner said he would come with a new wooden slat to fix it but botched it up with a wooden frame of some kind do we had 2 very uncomfortable nights. The carpet and the sofa could do with a good steam clean as they were covered in stains. 2 sachets of coffee provided and no milk, no shower gel either. It would be a nice touch to include these.
The location was great and the apartment was large and spacious with great views

United KingdomNothing not to like.
Overall the property is excellent - in a great location with an amazing view. It is well equipped with everything you would need. I would say that it is tremendous value for money and I would definitely stay again. Private Parking space was great as well. Short walk to Cardiff Bay and similar walk to the city centre.

United KingdomThe heating didn’t work in the living room but we weren’t cold The cleaner needs to clean the upstairs en-suite better as there is black mould on the tiles and ceiling and parts of shower base are dirty the carpets could do with a deep clean the mirrors and windows were streaky glasses weren’t clean - blood on duvet cover in the second bedroom 1 bedside table lamp didn’t work in main bedroom and stain on inside main bedroom curtains Dead plant on balcony isn’t a good look I also think if it was maximum capacity of 6 you would need a larger sofa everything looking a big tired or in need of a lick of paint Tv was also very difficult to watch and set up all plugs unplugged including scarts and the signal was intermittent we ended up just watching the laptop but we were out mostly so it wasn’t a big issue for us I’m only writing this as I feel the owner may not be aware of so many issues generally basic things to repair or clean I hope this info is private as I genuinely think the issues are all easily rectified and if the apartment was spruced up a bit more they could probably charge a lot more as the location and view is amazing
loved the view we arrived after dark and the view was spectacular The host corresponded speedily to messages nice to have a private parking space and it all felt very secure The kitchen was nice enough but most places would leave at least 1 dishwasher tablet and washing machine detergent lovely underfloor heating in the hallway comfortable beds good storage lots of space handy to have iron ironing board Can’t get past the view though this sells this property

United States of AmericaThe beds were good, but the sofa bed was not really usable.
Amazing views, very comfortable space, lots of room, good facilities. Parking for one car in the building, supermarket 5 min away, downtown 10min away by car, 15min walk from Cardiff Station. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe mattress on the bed could do with being replaced and perhaps a little paint on the skirting boards, but that is all that I can fault.
The location was excellent. We wanted to split our time between the bay and the castle, so we couldn't have chosen a better place. Also, simple little touches, coffee, tea bags, toilet paper just basics, but they were there. We had a two storey apartment, which we didn't expect with great views. The girls were super excited. The car was parked in an underground car park and it felt very secure.

United KingdomSmall things that just could have been improved/checked. No batteries in the remotes, no baking trays for the oven, freezer door left open and ice build up so freezer door wouldn't shut or be used, shower door didn't fully close, shower head stuck at the bottom of the rail so frustrating if you are not a child! I also found it strange that the 3 cupboards used for cleaning products , spare kitchen items and laundry, were not locked. (There were piles of dirty laundry) All that said, we would stay again
Amazing sized rooms, with quality wooden furniture. Location was perfect for town and the Bay. Views were amazing, spectacular to wake up to. Parking was an added bonus and felt safe and secure.

United KingdomConfusion over address and arrangements for gaining access. Short notice on how to access the apartment. Contact telephone number listed was incorrect. Booking.com staff were quick to help rectify the situation. The owner did get in touch on the day but I really needed the information requested in advance of arriving. A postcode is not sufficient information. All was resolved just before my partner arrived from London luckily.
The beautiful scenic views from 12th floor. The apartment was spacious and clean with every possible utensil/facility needed for a weekend break. Very quiet building. It was close to the Millenium Centre approx 10 min walk and Cardiff Bay train Station. It took 5 mins to reach Queen Street. I would book again without hesitation if visiting Cardiff.
