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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing to dislike. Maybe toilet was a little small.
Beautiful traditional place, piped classical music with breakfast and served on bone China. Really traditional and really good quality, very reasonable too, would definitely recommend. 💯

United KingdomWe liked everything about the property.
The interior of the hotel looks like a victorian house. It is very clean as well. We enjoyed our free breakfast. We were very delighted as there was a parking area at the rear of the hotel which was very convenient.

United KingdomOnly one downside it's advertised as having a bar which is no longer the case if we'd asked before going out what time the bar served until we would have known but we came back straight after having an evening meal expecting to have a drink in the bar but we settled for the tea/coffee and biscuits supplied in the room 😀
Everything about this stay was amazing, all staff were super friendly and polite, lovely clean room with Everything you needed. Superb breakfast and private free parking was a bonus, would definitely stay again great location.

United KingdomWe went out in the evening for food and bowling, came back about 11pm to find the gate to the carpark had been locked shut so it took us an additional half hour to find somewhere else to park. Packed breakfast stuff away a bit too early

United KingdomOur room was upgraded on arrival ,it was spotlessly clean and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable . The decor was in keeping with the age of the property and tastefully done. . Breakfast had a wide variety of things on the menu . We had cooked breakfast both mornings as well as fresh friut and yoghurts and toast. Which we thoroughly enjoy. The hotel has free parking and it is a 20- 30 minute walk into cardiff which was ideal for us. We would recommend this as a place to stay and will return in th future..
