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 KingdomThe facilities were slightly outdated and due to it being in the town centre, the night life is very loud. But not keep you up loud, just noticeable when in the room
It was comfortable, and very fairly priced

GermanyMy only comment here is linked to my inability to get the shower going (I woke up later than I had planned and had no spare time for a bath or to ask reception). Definitely a failure of my own making, but I would recommend trying it when you are not in a rush and checking with Staff if you fail as I did)!
An excellent location with a breakfast choice between Continental or English (I chose the latter and was set up for the day). The local area is well known to me, but the staff were very welcoming and had a good knowledge of the local area and the local parking rules in the area.

United KingdomRoom was quite unclean, mold along the windows and behind the bed, found ash in the bathroom by the toilet and weird substance in bathtub. Car park was quite far away.
Good location and room was spacious. In town centre which is useful for a stop off to get supplies before heading out.

United KingdomThe hotel is in an area with lots of bars, so very noisy til late which is fine if you're staying there after a night out, but I was staying with my 11 year old daughter so lots of shouting and swearing so not ideal. The room itself, although comfortable, is a little grubby and tired.

United KingdomSome of the drawer handles were broken or missing. Need to think about a grab handle for getting into the shower/bath, and could do with a light over the vath as the curtain cuts out a fair bit of light. ....but nothing to stop me going back next time I'm in Merthyr

United KingdomOn arrival, my room wasn't quite ready, so the housekeeper went off to sort me out and they gave me the room next door, which I thought was exceptional service. The location was perfect for one overnight stay. There were loads of options for food and other essentials. The next morning, the full English breakfast tasted lovely, cooked to perfection and was served quickly. All the staff were really helpful and attentive.

United KingdomThe bath room cupboard in my particular wasn't very clean. Its decor is little dull and tired but has old fashioned charm. Breakfast restaurant unless you book won't ve available, and won't open other times. But there're many others nearby just short walk. It's not hotel's fault but Booking.com made me confused this is close to Blackwood other town I wanted to visit, but is not.
Location in the town was good, walking distances to everywhere I usually needed, from Station, shops, restaurans etc. The staff are very friendly and helpful called me a taxi and such. The room has standard facility, park view and is pretty. Quiet at night so had good night sleep. Very good town location, very convenient in lovely place of Wales. Staff's Welsh accent were charming.
