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 KingdomBreakfast was quite good and the service was friendly and helpful. The area that was not quite as good was the room as it felt damp and musty. Having said that the heating in the morning and the use of the electric heater made a big difference. Quite a bit of mould in bathroom, though all essential areas were clean.

United KingdomThe room was very plain. A picture on the wall would be a nice touch, plus a few hangining hooks for coats & towels in bathroom. Our Standard Double room was tricky to get to. Through the dining room with suitcases then up a flight of very steep stairs with heavy cases. Also traffic on the busy main road was noisy at night. Lorries, heavy goods vehicles especially, travelling at 50-60mph was a surprise & spoils, the tranquility we expected from a rural hotel.
The Hotel was lovely for swimming & relaxing in the Spa. Massage was great (if a little pricey for back only) Having to book swimming sessions was a bit of a pain but not impossible. Hotel is very handy for walking up Pen y Fan, though the weather was against us last weekend & we had to quit 15 mins, from the summit.

United KingdomThe hotel needed money spending on it . It looked very tired . There wasn’t a ‘proper’ shower , you had to have a bath .We booked a package in the spa … a 50 mins massage and 25 min facial (Elmis ) we were finished in an hour , this was £110 . We did query this (, felt like we’d been pushed through quickly ) and we were refunded £20 .If you were to book spa treatments I’d just ask what exactly you were going to get for the money
The food and staff were lovely , very pleasant

United KingdomFor the price per night of the hotel we were a little disappointed at the tattiness of the hotel. The lino in the bathroom was coming away, there wasn't a proper shower head, no bath plug, no soap to wash our hands. The furniture was very dated. The chairs in the breakfast room were all peeling. The carpets in the hallways were threadbare. Everything is in need of an update.
The staff were all great, very friendly and breakfast service was fast and efficient. We had a kettle, tea and coffee and two bottles of water in our room which was fab. The bedroom was a good size. Plenty of parking and a good location for walking up Pen Y Fan.

United KingdomLooking a bit tired in places beyond the restaurant, especially in the bathroom. Shower head was a bath attachment without enough pressure to drive water through the shower head. For a 3 star at £100+ a night I feel the bathrooms should be high up the list for a refurb.
Really good food, although that should be expected for the meal prices being charged. Nice breakfast.

United KingdomRooms were in need of a refurb, especially the bathroom, Shower attachment hose on the bath leaked badly, no hook to attach it on the wall either. Corridors were grubby, carpets worn and ripped with lots of cables taped in the corners. £135 a night is too expensive for that quality of room I'm afraid.
Great restaurant with good menu and choices, breakfast good too.
