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.).

United KingdomI hadn't realised the toilet/bathroom wasn't part of the actual bedroom, but once we'd sussed out the keys and got into a routine of leaving the room to use the bathroom, it was fine.
Friendly owner who cooked us a lovely full English brekky too. A nice selection of cereals, yoghurts and drinks available. Always a bonus to have breakfast included in the room rate. The room itself was really nice, and my daughter enjoyed her last bath before heading off to uni in Cardiff!

United KingdomOnly the first night, rude guests keeping others awake and unlocking the main door so other people could enter as they pleased. This meant being woken up in the early hours and not being able to sleep. Gail and Lyndon where very helpful and discounted the room due to this however they lost quite a bit of money due to these guests. When your in someone else business don’t argue and shout as it is not nice for both the other guests or the owners as both suffer at the end of it. Other than this little hiccup I would definitely stay here again.
The room was a nice size and had everything you would need. Located just on the outskirts of the town so away from any noise from nightlife. Gail was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with a good variety of choice.

United KingdomThe parking is quite deceiving, at the top of the hill there is about 2 spaces available for non permit holders which we managed to get for the time we were there
Fantastic location, family friendly and with a 10 minute walk to the beach it’s perfect with the fair, arcades and Gavin and Stacey fun! Lovely breakfast and great hosts that will do anything needed. Room size was great the triple room top floor with a shower en suite. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomFamily-style guest house. Very sociable, kind, helpful and friendly owners, they cook an excellent breakfast. Room quite small; we had to move the bed so that there was walking room either side of the bed. We didn’t know Barry/Barry Island at all so had to do a bit of wandering before we found the beach and front. A few local maps/ leaflets would have been helpful

United KingdomBasically the parking but nothing else
Dont be deceived by the outside of the Guest house as its no where near what it looks like from the front.We had room 3 and it was comfortable with a comfortable bed.They run an order the breakfast the night before which works well for both parties,The room was clean and the breakfast well cooked by lucy[loved her].Yes the property could do with a bit of TLC in places but overal we had a comfortable stay.Just be aware of the parking restrictions outside as its a bit tricky so make sure you read the resident parking signs properly.
