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 KingdomThe room was a little bit small, I can't travel light and struggled a bit with all our stuff. You have to bring suitable clothing for all weathers in Wales!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Such a beautiful and interesting building. The food was heaven on a plate. Can honestly say that I have never tasted food like it, many compliments to the chef. I particularly enjoyed the shepherd's pie and the cod mornay, my husband couldn't get enough of the gammon steaks!

United KingdomThe ensuite next door to room 9 encroaches this room with a partition wall and their extractor fan is very noisy. It's triggered by the light switch which means that every single time someone next door even turns their bathroom light on, you have 15 minutes of very loud nose. It's disturbing and not peaceful and needs a silent fan fitting.
Clean, comfortable, friendly. Great view.

United KingdomNo light near the bed so had to get up to turn it off and quite dark for reading in bed. Also there was a lot of noise which I couldn't initially trace but think it was the neighbouring room using their bathroom - when the light turned on probably kicking in the extractor - they must have left it on but thankfully it stopped in time for sleep.
Excellent location and view. Room small but had everything I needed. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

United KingdomHonestly and genuinely, I can’t think of a single thing.
I would literally pay 10 times the price for just an hour on the sea view terrace watching the sunset, what an amazing view! A beautiful hotel with amazing character and such a pleasant experience, I booked this place last minute and I’m so unbelievably glad I did, I’m from wales and I’ve been to Barmouth several times but I’ve never seen it like this! …wow!!

GermanyThe only funky thing was the bathroom in the room. It had a bifold door and you basically felt like you were taking a wee in the wardrobe. The bed was also very small for two people. Keep in mind that both me and my mum have 180cm beds at home. So if you're used to less it will be fine.
The location is beautiful. we had some trouble parking but that was really our own fault. You can watch the ocean from the breakfast room in the morning and we had an ocean view room also. That was great. We asked for a duvet, which was very confusing for the staff (no one had asked for a second one before I think), and they found us a blanket. We also got to lend two plates for our outside dinner. They were really accommodating towards my mums gluten intolerance and were lovely overall.
