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 KingdomHot water was in my opinion far too hot, and could be dangerous for young children. Personally I found the bed in the main bedroom was not as comfy as expected. Overall it was a great place to stay and I will recommend it to family and friends. Thank you Lynne and Andrew.
Location was pleasant. Very quiet and relaxing. So nice to listen to the sound of silence. It had a well equipped kitchen, and the bathroom was lovely and clean. Lounge was great. Very comfy suite. Bedrooms were lovely too.

United KingdomProperty needs a little TLC, but comfy enough.
Communication was good. Hosts very responsive. Plenty of space for all of us. Keys were in a lock box, so easy to get in. Property surrounded by beautiful countryside, and 5 mins drive or 30 mins walk from Caernarfon.

New ZealandParking is an issue at this property. I was expecting off road parking as the property is advertised as having free parking, but this is not guaranteed (see below). I had a run in with the neighbour at number 3 when I asked if he could move his car forwards briefly so I could get my small rental car into the small space. He refused to help. The house on the other side (number 5) had a huge car that encroached on the space outside number 4, but I couldn't ask them to move it as it was an electric car and was charging. I ended up having to park quite a way down the road. Would have been fine if I had a Mini or Smart car but my economy rental Hyundai i10 didn't fit with a big car at number 5. Have added photo with arrow showing the end of the parking space. Cars need to be parked to the left of the white line on the wall. I contacted the owners about this, and they were lovely, but nothing could be done to ease the parking problem.
Very clean and well presented cottage in a great location for exploring North Wales. Beds were comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, plenty of space for me and my mum. The property met my expectations, but the parking did not.

United KingdomThe bath wouldn’t drain properly, no taps on the bath. The mattress wasn’t that comfortable with springs sticking out. The couch needs a good wash down.
The location was great, easy to get into town or go to the beach. Great house size, the little add extras were appreciated.

United KingdomA few items that would have been useful include a teapot, milk jug and toast rack. And a few more coat hangers! Three between two people is not enough. A friendly call or email to check that we had everything we needed would have been appreciated.
This is a traditional small terrace cottage, nicely modernised and with most of the facilities you need for a short stay.

United KingdomThis small mid-terrace house is described as "superb" and "five star". I'm afraid "five star" is way too ambitious, it needs maintenance (for example, dining chairs falling apart) and the garden sorting out. Generally though it is fine.
This property is very well placed to visit Caernarfon and district and is on a quiet country road.

United Kingdomthe open fire could not be used and there were no taps on the bath. I had only booked the property because it showed an open fire snd bath. there was nothing to say these were not functioning on the website. Also some glasses were missing the fridge was partially broken and the pans were in poor condition. the baking tray would not fit in the oven. there was old appliances in the garden and and the garden was uncared for
it was very clean, the rooms spacious and beds very comfortable

United KingdomThe parking was difficult and not really enough room in front of the cottage as the man next door had a large van and asked to move our car. There were lots of minor faults in the cottage, which in themselves didn’t cause us a problem, but it was irritating, when they could so easily have been resolved. For example, clothes airer - broken, no useable mop and bucket, bulb missing from lounge with no replacement, tv unit door fell off when you opened it, mirror in bathroom coming loose, bathroom door didn’t close properly, door shelves on the fridge broken, downstairs smoke alarm disconnected. The garden was very untidy with weeds and brambles and the garden furniture was rusty. This is by no means all the problems we found in the property.
A nice sized cottage for two people. The rooms were a decent size and there was an enclosed garden at the rear.

United KingdomThe garden was very tired and uninviting which was a real shame as we would have enjoyed sitting out to have breakfast or an evening relax after a busy day. Thankfully we didn’t have small children as it is not child friendly. Kitchen had a mismatch of crockery and not enough glasses for 4guests. One of the dinning chairs was very wobbly and needed attention. Parking could be a little difficult but we spoke with the neighbour so as not to be a problem.
The style of the property was lovely and the location was great.
