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 KingdomA classic small town hotel - full of character and history. Extremely pleasant staff, always keen to help (including sorting out bike storage). A basic room that provided everything we needed. The evening meal was above expectations and the breakfast was great.

United KingdomHotel under new,management and feel still settling into roles. Exterior a bit shabby especially the outside seating area. Directions to car park could be clearer and\or detailed on confirmation email. I arrived late and found just one parking space in the car park and felt lucky.
Good breakfast choice. Excellent location on main street. Friday night gathering of musicians a bonus.

United KingdomNothing.
We had a great welcome and a good meal on arrival. We were especially grateful that we were allowed to leave our vehicle in the car park whilst we cycled the Traws Eryri Trail over 4 days. This made doing the trip possible and made everything stress free. We are hugely grateful for this.

United KingdomNothing really. Evening meals were a bit pricey but that's because they were more than just pub food. Anyway lots of food options in town
Secure parking for our MTBs. Good selection of single rooms. Allowing us to park our car in their carpark whilst we did a 4 day Traws Eryri MTB tour.

United KingdomThe beds are too small and the evening staff were very overstretched.
It's a lovely old hotel and the breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice and delicious cooked food too. When we arrived the only staff seemed stressed. When we return later it was very full of dinners and we couldn't a drink as there were no bar staff. We went to a local pub after waiting 15mins. The bed was far too small and our friends who also stayed had the same problem, so none of us slept well.

United KingdomThe hotel advertises an EV charger but this is not available to guests. There are chargers nearby at the public car park so not a problem, but the listing needs to be corrected.
