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 towels had a overly strong smell of prawn crisps. Can I suggest a 'do not disturb' sign for guests who want to lie in past 9am.
The food was excellent, the room was good. The pool and sauna were clean and accessible. The staff were very nice, cheerful and went out of their way to help whenever needed. Location was fantastic, parking was fine and the bar was friendly and welcoming

United KingdomSmall room, uncared for, fixtures and fittings need to be addressed. In the bathroom, the toilet roll holder was hanging off, and eventually fell off; there was no towel rail or indeed any hooks in the entire room; the toilet seat was unstable;the seal around the bath was lifting and unpleasant; the sink waste was rusty; the floor covering was rising by the bath, probably contributing to the musty damp smell in the bathroom .
The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. The garden area was lovely, the location was superb, the food was outstanding, and it was very reasonably priced. The pool was lovely, and we were allowed access before checking in. The facial I had was lovely.

United KingdomMy partner is vegetarian, we looked on the website before booking and the menu options seemed to be reasonable, however when we received the menu on the evening it was different, and there could be a far better variety of choices, the roasted cabbage was literally half a cabbage sat on top of a bed of lentils (it was a lot of cabbage). We would book again but would ring before to check the menu as believed this needs some work.
Setting was beautiful, facilities were fantastic, staff were lovely, room was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomAfter food you could go and sit in the top bar area and people are having food in there aswell as the restaurant. There's not alot to do in the evenings, we asked if we could put the TV on for some music which the staff was happy to do so for us. Last orders were around 10.30. It would be nice if they had the top area for some quiet music or entertainment for guests who's staying at the hotel.
It's a beautiful setting. The pool area was clean and tody. The sauna and steam room were perfect. We had an evening meal booked at 7.30 so we didn't want a big meal in the day so they had a cream tea/coffee as the restaurant shut at 3pm. The food was beautiful and the service was amazing. All of the staff were extremely helpful.

United KingdomThe mimimal provision! No dressing gowns or towels provided for guests for use at the Spa. I checked with reception-£5 charge each for dressing gowns because "they get stolen"! So we had to walk the corridor to the Spa with towels from our room wrapped round us, then after a swim, had to use a wet towel to have a hot shower back in our room before dinner. Surely they could just charge a deposit or ask guests to return them at check-out? This felt so mean and spoilt the stay. The Spa pool was bare and more like a cheap town swimming pool. A few plants or decoration may have made it feel more special. The pool tiling was old and dirty looking especially around the jacuzzi. For the amount I paid per night, I expected a lot better than what we got. Breakfast was adequate-when you got served. But overstretched staff, however polite, meant that they didn't get the buffet food out for the start of the session and on the 2nd day, was very limited. The hotel is the only one in that area, and that obviously makes them feel they don't need to make any effort!
Very friendly staff and beautiful location

United KingdomThe Bar and restaurant area needs a bit of character put into it, we sat int he Bar and it was a bit drab. The room wasnt great im afraid. The bed was uncomfortable, seemed to dip in the middle with lumpy sides. The room was very clean, however the decor is dated, there was no shower, just an adaption to the bath, the bath had a chip in it, the taps were slightly broken, the flooring was coming up in the bathroom and we almost burnt ourselves on the hot tap. I understand times are very difficult at the moment, but it needs some paint, and some TLC.
All of the Staff were very friendly and lovely, and the food was so nice. The Welsh Breakfast was very tasty, used good quality local ingredients. We had Scallops to start which were cooked to perfection. My partner had the Cod which was so succulent and full of flavour with a good portion. I had the monkfish which was a little over and the portion of the overall dish was small for the price, but the taste was lush! We didnt use the pool area but it looked nice from outside!

United KingdomBooked suite 34 , curtains were filthy, there was pen all up the wall ( things like this i don't normally notice but they were right in front of you as you walked in) bathroom was also mouldy and as the tiles were white this stands out a mile. Been here a few times and never had any thing to grumble about just needs updating. Dining area also needs some attention.
All food was amazing, amazing staff an facilities too. The issue is with the look of the place nothing a lick of paint and some TLC couldn't fix.

United KingdomBathroom was a bit mouldy and run down, lots of screw holes on tiles and the ceiling looked as it it had been very mouldy. Not shelf for your toothbrush! Incorrect toilet seat, had shell seat instead of the correct D shape. Tiles mouldy in the shower. Overall bathroom let the overall experience down. Widow has seal missing and wind howled through the gap, was like it was open. In the spa the jacuzzi is a bit run down and not very powerfully.
The food was exceptional both dinner and breakfast. Breakfast buffet and hot order which was very nice surprise. Service was very good. Room was OK, good tea station. Towels felt nice. The pool was very warm and a good depth. Sauna and steam room where very good. Overal the spa was very nice and priced well.

United KingdomCould do with some hooks in the room to hang towels/coats. Had to put towels over the side of the bath but they weren't dry the day after. The pool/spa area was great and well equipped but had to tell them about the poolside and changing room floors as they were not clean. The room I stayed in was very comfortable but the bathroom window wouldn't close and could do with a bit of an update.
Really comfy beds, amazing breakfast to order, friendly staff in all areas, picturesque location, great hot shower, fab lunch and dinner food.

United KingdomA couple of minor points, but the toilet roll holder in our bathroom kept depositing the toilet roll on the floor because it was loose, and there was no light on one side of the bed. It might have been nice to have had a shower curtain and the shower attached to the wall instead of just being able to use it in, or over the bath.
I rang the hotel a couple of times before I came to check some details and book a meal for the first night and the staff were friendly and helpful. The meal we had on our first night was excellent-slow cooked lamb followed by lemon cake, cod with chorizo followed by cheeses (generous helpings and very tasty.) The meal we had on the third night (a Sunday) was not so good, especially the mushroom risotto with char-grilled chicken, which sounded very promising, but I make risotto myself and mine is way better!! Sorry to criticise. Also on our final morning we took a chance on "grilled" Kippers, which we normally love. These were small and definitely NOT grilled-I would say they were boil in the bag or "jugged" Kippers at best. It was a shame, as the cooked Welsh breakfasts which we had on the other days were delicious! We both really enjoyed seeing the local birds coming to the bird feeder-especially the Great Spotted Woodpecker and the Nuthatch-beautiful! The location of the hotel was really nice too, with the river and mossy trees behind. I made use of the swimming pool first thing on our last morning and really enjoyed it.
