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.).

It’s in a quiet area and despite being not far from the main road, I could hear birds singing in the evening and early morning from my room. Lovely people working here, they run the place which is linked to a charity. Kitchen is fully equipped and there is dry room for your clothes and mountain gear for those wet days.

United KingdomThe only issue I had was that the fan in the toilet on the main light stays on for quite a while after the light is turned off. That's all. I know it would be going to get all the moisture out which is a big thing for a place like Betws y Coed.
I was in the two bed room, it had an en suite and everything I needed. I loved it, had all I needed. I absolutely adored the drying room, I can't imagine what I would've done without it and every place in Betws y Coed should have one!! I used it every day and it was essential. I feel I should mention the kitchen too is really good, has everything you'd need. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I got a good look at the place. The location is excellent. You are close to centered in the village but the village has everything I needed all around me. You can even start an excellent hike from the end of the small road the place is on.

United KingdomWarden was helpful and friendly and the facilities are great. Huge kitchen, so even in our large group we could make breakfast for everyone. Great location, a very short walk into town or to a nearby trail, and we got an inexpensive bus to Pen y Pass to start our trek up Yr Wyddfa.

AustraliaHard mattress in the dorm. Two nights in the single room was a little cramped but I slept really well. I decided to stay on and transferred to a female dorm but didn’t sleep. Just a personal preference for a softer mattress.
Michele, was a kind a caring host. I enjoyed the hostel style which matched the village area I chose to stay in of Betwse-y-coed. Plus the bus and train were an easy walk and allowed me to tour all over Snowdonia using public transport. Great base and lots of lovely cafes and restaurants a short stroll away. As I’m a chef the S/S kitchen was a big plus for me. Really well equipped. And, Plenty of bedding and lovely and warm. Good WiFi

GermanyHeating had to be adjusted by the warden manually, but that didn't bother me because I don't like it too warm anyway so I didn't "complain" about it. If I would they would have fixed it immediately.
Wonderful suroundings and a beautiful building. I liked the vibe of a country hostel with the facilities such as shower- and drying-room. It was very quiet and peaceful during winter and close to hiking trails as well as the train station.

United KingdomI haven't stayed in a hostel for many years, and I was worried that I might regret my choice, but this hostel is excellent! It is clean and has everything you need. I was there in February and there weren't many guests. There are loads of places to eat around, including a bakery and a pizza restaurant. The town itself is stunning. I am planning to return.
