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 Kingdom- We arrived earlier than expected, so was hoping to have a drink in the bar before check-in, but the hotel was closed, and no one answered the door. - Rooms are very old fashioned but not sure if this is the style they are going for.
- Great location in the heart of Wales, close to some lovely Welsh villages and Snowdonia. - Great breakfast that left you full, including vegetarian options. - Comfy bed and room with a view - Has everything you need with working WiFi and hot water.

We stayed at the Elen's Castle Hotel for three days and we loved it ! It is perfectly located in the center of Snowdonia in the middle of the mountains. The room was very cosy and comfortable and the owners were welcoming :). The included breakfast was a very nice touch to get ready before a day out exploring ! If you are looking for a nice B&B in the middle of the mountains with beautiful views, go for it !!

IrelandThis day and age you need sockets both sides of the bed. If that's not possible due to the room design then connect up an extension lead. Room was very small with broken legs on the bucket chairs and no chair at the desk, also the TV should be on the wall not on the side positioned desk. The door has swelled and will not close without slamming it, I'm sure our neighbours loved us coming in late, we would have woken them up trying to close our bedroom door. The door is easily fixed so shouldn't just be left to get worse. The owner did say new furniture had arrived for that room so that should sort the broken bits.
Beautiful location, great parking. The hotel was very cosy with lovely owners and an old world charm about it. It was great to have an onsite restaurant too, we had dinner there 1 evening which was nice and breakfast was good too.

NetherlandsA beatiful old inn, situated very conveniently just before the busier places closer to Mt Snowdon. Great old-fashioned atmosphere throughout the place, from pub to restaurant, staircase and room. Old-fashioned in a good way! Breakfast was nice, especially to be offered on option between light (fruit, pastry) and full English. The restaurant is a good option to have when you don't feel like going anywhere.

United KingdomThe double bed was very unconfortable, so on the second night of our stay we moved to the other room in the suite, which instead was equipped with better mattresses. Breakfast "lighter option" is literally one banana and a pot of yogurth, so go for full English or vegan instead.
Lovely location, with beautiful view of Snowdonia and close to other tourist attractions and towns. Spacious parking facility. Well decorated hotel, with nice little touches throughout. Welcoming bar, lounge and outdoor seating areas. Owners are very affable and the place is family friendly. English breakfast and evening dinner were very tasty. We stayed in the suite, and our son was thrilled as he had his own bedroom.
