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 KingdomPerhaps the bathroom was a little far from the rooms on the top floor. In the middle of the night I was conscious of disturbing other residents with opening and closing landing doors and creaking stairs and floorboards. Not a huge problem but it was on my mind .
Location was very close to the main commercial area. The warden was very helpful and friendly. Although I didn't actually meet her she responded promptly to any queries by messaging or phone call. The room was practical, clean and quiet. Everything I hoped for from this booking. All this for exceptional value! I would definitely choose to stay here if I were to visit the area again in the future.

United KingdomGreat location, not far from Betws-y-coed and the rest of Eyri, beds were clean and quite comfortable compared to some other hostel beds I’ve slept on. Staff were friendly and helpful, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a place that is better value for money, I’d definitely stay again.

Helen, the host, was so welcoming. Showed me around and was glad I’d had a nice stay. The showers and toilets were really clean. The bedroom was all I needed for a good nights sleep.

ChinaVery nice position close to the S1 stop and good self-catering facilities including a nice kitchen. The bed is comfy and i had the room of my own in the first day. Michelle and Helen are lovely people. Will choose here again if I come again. PS. it seems that it is cheaper if you book via their own website.

United KingdomThe room was a little warm and we had the upstairs fire exit in our room so that it meant that we could not secure the room. Other rooms were much better and more roomy so in future I would be more specific about our requirement. The single rooms were really sweet.
Michelle, the Warden, was super helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to help and support us. she was thoughtful and gave us some top tips for the area.

TaiwanThe door for the female dormitory was quite noisy and it's impossible not to wake people up using it. Not much space between upper and lower bunk beds, can barely sit. It'd be nice to have lights by each bunk beds :)
Clean facilities, well equipped kitchen. Staff is friendly and hands on when calling for help. There's a big lounge where you can eat and relax. And it's very close to the high Street of the village!

United KingdomI had an exceptional experience staying at the Woodlands Centre. I have been biking on the hills, and I took a night stop here. I couldn't have asked for better. Michelle, the warden, welcomed me warmly, upgraded my room, made sure I was well settled and gave me a warm welcome, giving me great food suggestions. I had a peaceful night's sleep and biked the next morning. It was a great experience, and I strongly recommend the place for groups and solo travellers like me. Looking forward to the next visit.
