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.).

UkraineYou cannot open the window in any of the rooms, for safety reasons apparently. So the air was quite stuffy, unfortunately. Imagine how it is in the summer!

United Kingdomroom was great but biggest disadvantage was no mirror in room - only a mirror in the bathroom but poor lighting so doing my make up and hair was a nightmare plus we had a shower that didn't stay put due to the bracket being loose , my friends room next door was perfect though so guess we were unlucky (room 808) would definitely stay there again and ask for a different room
Fabulous location 5 minute walk to station and shops/ bars breakfast was not the best but adequate, lovely hotel

United KingdomRoom was advertised as deluxe king room with views. Not much in terms of deluxe. Room was tired, clearly a heater was installed, painted around the heater but not underneath it. Bed had just 1 pillow! Asked for another, was told not sure we have any, but they did find me one. Advertised as views, yet all the windows had a film on them, so unable to see out at all, hardly a view.
Location to Cardiff arena/town. Comfortable bed for 1 night Staff friendly/helpful enough

United KingdomIt didn't make a huge difference as we were only staying for 1 night, the shower head was broken. This would've been annoying if we were staying for longer.
The hotel was the perfect location as we came for a concert and the venue was opposite. I'd messaged ahead and asked for a lower floor room. This was actioned right away. I feel this was coincidental but the room was located at the back of the building which was lovely and quiet. I was with my 16 and 13 year old daughters so this was very appreciated.

United KingdomI booked a higher level floor for a bit of a veiw of cardiff unfortunately when we opened the blinds im room the windows were frosted 😒 but didnt ruin my experience.
We went to cardiff for a concert in the utilita stadium this hotel is literally opposite. Perfect for getting back after the show ment we could wait till the crowds left and take a stroll back to our hotel. Check in was super speedy and liked that check out wasnt till 11 so didnt feel rushed, the room was a good size as was the bed. Tv you could log in to your netflix if u wanted to. Breakfast room was a good size not to busy with a decent buffet style breakfast, particularly liked that they supplied take away cups also so you could take a hot drink when you leave.
