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 KingdomNothing at all!! We would just have liked to have stayed longer!!
From the very start of our stay we were made to feel genuinely welcome. David and Gill are excellent hosts and Annette so lovely at both our evening meals. Gill is a great cook and was so kind and thoughtful catering for my dietary needs both in the evening and for breakfast. The ambiance of Ty Mawr has been set by lovely hosts - the rooms are really comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. This feels like a 'home from home' but with all the advantages of being so well cared for. We would so love to return and cannot recommend Ty Mawr enough. Thank you for a great and special stay.

United KingdomA little too quiet at the property, perhaps some background music at dinner and breakfast to break the silence.
In a good position within the village.

United KingdomTy Mawr nestles in the Carmarthenshire countryside - near to the sea as well as the hills. We chose it for this reason and were not disappointed. With a warm greeting we were given tea and fresh bara brith . The room was very comfortable, dinner was very reasonably priced and very good quality and breakfast ample. We even got to play scrabble in front of the log fire .

United KingdomI don't hink the pictures do this place justice. I arrived at the hotel after a 7 hour drive so I was very tired. The place is beautiful in a lovely/quiet location. Very cosy setting and the most comfortable bed I have ever found in a hotel room (and I stay in a lot of hotels). Can't fault this place. Lovely breakfast as well which was a bonus. I was travelling with two colleagues and they said exactly the same thing. Very impressed!

United KingdomShower could have had more pressure.
Booked this just 1 hour prior to arrival, set in a stunning location I was met at reception by David the owner and Buster the outrageously gorgeous golden retriever, shown to my very large and clean room dominated but a beautifully dressed bed, big tv, lots of complimentary tea and coffee, clean bathroom with premium shampoos and shower gels etc. The dining experience was excellent, the food was presented at a very high standard and tasted amazing, the nut roast I would recommend without hesitation. Sadly it was just one night and all to soon I was leaving in the morning and I’m missing Buster.

United KingdomA gem of a find in rural Carmarthenshire. David and Gill have made Ty Mawr into a truly superb hotel - with all of the comforts and high standards as well as a superb culinary experience. The couple were wonderful hosts, friendly, relaxed, efficient and went out of their way to ensure our stay and dining left nothing wanting. We’ll certainly be back - and be recommending it to our friends.

We had a fabulous 5 nights at Ty Mawr. This is a great boutique hotel in stunning surroundings. I loved that it was small, quiet and incredibly relaxing, but with an excellent food, friendly and helpful staff and comfortable rooms. Very high quality food and great selection wine. Buster, their dog is great too! We did some long walks around Brechfa forest which was stunning.
