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 KingdomThere are 15 concrete steps up to the room, this was difficult to negotiate for my wife who has had a knee and hip replacement. A blind in the shower room would be a good addition in my opinion
Sea view was amazing. The quality of the bed and shower could not have been better We would certainly like to stay again

United KingdomNothing at all. We were most impressed.
Brig-y-Don is a lovely place to stay. A warm comfortable room with modern facilities. The view over the estuary is stunning. The host Linda was most welcoming and professional. They accommodated our dog and made him most welcome. We had a wonderful cooked breakfast and would highly recommend this establishment. Only a five minute walk to the main street.

United States of AmericaPart of the price of a view is being up a hill, so if you aren't able or willing to walk up a little hill, this may be a challenge for you. I think the walk was well worth it, but something to consider if you aren't driving.
Wonderful room with a spectacular view. We appreciated the attention to detail of the hosts having an outside light for the stairs to the room, the binoculars to look out on the estuary, the robes, the umbrella, and luscious towels to name a few. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more, tastefully done. Highly recommended.

United KingdomDidn't like having to pay 15 pounds each extra for breakfast. We assumed when booking into a bed and breakfast that breakfast was included in the price until we got the email stating we could have breakfast as an extra!
Super welcome from the owners on arrival. Talked us through the property well and spent time with us running through things and making sure everything was good. Interested in what we were there for and what we were doing without being nosey! Loved not having a key! Lovely Welsh bread on arrival!

United KingdomMy stay at the Brig y don, was exceptional, the hosts Linda and Nigel where very welcoming. From the moment I arrived I knew I had picked an excellent place to stay. The room was clean bright and well decorated, with an outstanding view of the bay, there is a television. There where tea coffee making facilities, bara brith, filtered water and biscuits, the bed was very comfortable and I had a great night's sleep.The bathroom was clean, light and well maintained, with a good shower. Linda made an outstanding breakfast, it was honestly exceptional and would highly recommend. I could not fault my stay here and nor would I want to, it was incredible and just what I needed, there was no pressure, everything was oriented toward the guest, Linda and Nigel made my time there, relaxed and secure, they were very helpful and accommodating. Thank you both, Wayne.x

United KingdomThe shower would sometimes stop and start on it’s own when you want it on. Not good water pressure. The water never went cold though which is good unless you put it on cold. Also the walls are thin so can hear people in the main house sometimes and you are above the garage.
The breakfast, the view and the comfy bed were the best parts of the stay. Cleanliness is very good and the room is modern. The owners are very friendly and do there best to help with any problems or giving advice what to do in the local area.
