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 KingdomThe room was comfortable but decor is dated - not a problem for me, but others might be disappointed.
Fantastic dinner, and breakfast was very good too. A very traditional country hotel, loads of character. Mind your head!

United KingdomFood excellent - breakfast and dinner. Location perfect for us, indeed the reason for the choice, because it lies just yards from the start of the wonderful Minffordd route up Cadair Idris. For walkers it's ideal.

United KingdomNot all the rooms were in operation so one of our group had to stay in Corris, which was a pity.
Excellent location if you aren't looking for other amenities as the nearest village is a few miles away. But we were on a cycling tour with no intention of going anywhere that evening. This would be a great place to stay for a few days hill walking too, right below Cader Idris. Spectacular countryside. Gordon keeps a nice range of interesting bottled beers and the chef did a great job for dinner - interesting menu, decent portions and very tasty. Breakfast was similar - plenty of choice and more than enough to get us off up the hill into the rain :)

United KingdomRoom was a bit warm (but it was v warm that day, and thundery.)
Was visiting the Mach Loop, and it could not be better placed. Just over 2 miles from the parking for Cad West. The evening meal and breakfast can not be faulted, perhaps the portion was a wee bit too big. A quiet drink in the bar and a chat with the owner was great company for o lone traveller.

United KingdomSince the property is old, with stone bricks the WIFI signal could not penetrate the walls. WIFI only worked in the corridor outside the door or right next to the door inside my room.
The location was perfect. I went on a Hike with the Muslim Hikers to hike Cadair Idris next door. Breakfast was nice. I had a Vegetarian Full English and Cheesy Toast. The facilities were good.
