Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomSlightly dated, in an old part of the town
Very clean and comfortable. Claire made us very welcome from the start. Rooms were basically furnished, but with thoughtful extras, including a mini fridge, quality biccys, teas, coffee and water. Bus stop right outside front door. Breakfast was freshly made to order and was of a high standard. Private entrance for guests so that you didn’t have to walk through bar if you didn’t want to or between opening hours.

United Kingdom- Pillows to soft and would of preferred harder/additional pillows - Fridge was noisy so had to be turned off over night - could hear every door being opened/closed on the floor
- Ideal location to where I wanted to stay - Lovely room, loads of ‘freebies’ - fridge was ideal - comfortable/soft bed - Hosts were lovely and showed me to my room/tour upon arrival - ‘early’ breakfast (on a Sunday) was perfect especially with my early morning event - Overally great stay and will definitely book again!

United KingdomA more personal check-in, although the text exchanges were very friendly.
Clean and friendly, very good value for money. Slightly remote location suited me very well - very close to the Heads of the Valleys road, itself an excellent driving experience. Also not far from attractions like the Bannau Brycheiniog, Ystradfellte etc, and of course industrial South Wales.

United KingdomNothing really - if anything the bed was a little soft and springy, which doesn’t bother me but isn’t my husbands favourite.
Excellent value for money, room was spacious, well stocked tea tray and free water. Breakfast was lovely and included in the cost of the room. Big parking area behind the hotel, plenty of room. We visited so my husband could go to bike park wales and as others have said he was able to store his bike inside the breakfast area which is more secure than being left in the car. Overall a great stay, we wanted to check in later than 9pm and the owners made sure they were still there to welcome us. Would stay again if I was in the area.
