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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomLack of cooked food
I stayed overnight in a Double Room, which was extremely welcoming and modern. The staff were very helpful, and the room had clearly been refurbished recently. The only issue was that the pub wasn't doing food, and there is nowhere else to eat in Cynwyd, so I had to get in the car to get an evening meal. I can understand that issues like this arise, but I ought to have been made aware. The website still has a full menu listed, which is misleading. There ought to be a note on there until the issue is resolved. Having said that, the continental breakfast supplied was very nice, and I didn't really need a cooked breakfast. Everything I could need for breakfast was there, and again nicely presented. If the kitchen had been open, this place could have been close to perfect.

United KingdomNo spatula so had to do scrambled rather than fried eggs in the morning - although I'm pretty sure that if I had asked they would have got me one! Fantastic place!
Had the superior apartment for 3 nights over New Year - 4 of us in the apartment, 2 stayed in the B&B. Excellent house as a base, warm and comfortable with the pub right over the road. Purpose of visit was to chill out, eat, drink and be merry, all of which were achieved! The food in the pub is excellent - fresh and reasonably priced. The staff and the locals were all really friendly and we had a great time in the bar with everyone. Enjoyed it that much we have already booked again for next year!

Great stay - lovely & cosy. Beds are very comfortable. Local Spar shop next door which was handy. Arrived early but was not a problem - picked the keys up from the Spar shop.

United KingdomBooked for Sunday night although we booked our arrival time at between 21.00 and 22.00, there was no- one thereto let us in, eventually our phonecall was answered and someone came to let us in after waiting 20 mins in the rain and cold! The breakfast was continental and there was plenty of choice, but there was no butter/ spread available to put on the toast!
Nice room ensuite bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities. We stayed two night but the tea and coffee weren,t refilled on the 2nd day, so we ran out of milk.
