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 toilet seat seemed slightly broken and perhaps needs looking at. There was a slightly unpleasant smell (I think possibly drains related) from the kitchen. It would have been useful to have a clean sponge for the dishes and kitchen surfaces after use, rather than a used scrub (which could have scratched the ceramic hob - we went and got a sponge from the shop instead). Not sure about the set up of having cutlery stored high above your head - but that's coming from a clumsy couple worrying about what might happen ;-) Unfortunately you can hear all the steps from the person living in the floor above even during the night, but I think that was just me as a light sleeper, as my husband sleeps through everything! Hopefully we haven't woken them up on our very early mornings for our walks.. All that said, just minor things and did not detract from the enjoyment of a very nice apartment :-)
The apartment was very classy and decorated to a very high standard. We felt it was actually slightly bigger than the photos seemed to show, which was a bonus! Quite central to the city, and we loved that it was literally just around the corner to the Wales Coast Path, which we used as a base to complete - it was quite cool to see the conch sign every day getting out and about, even on the non walking days! We loved the waterways/canal that we had to follow everyday in our outings, it is a very peaceful surrounding area! The bedroom was quite comfortable and with plenty of wardrobe space (which the photos don't show), and a really nice living room/dining room space. Loved having SKY TV in the apartment! Shame SKY doesn't allow you to temporarily transfer our SKY Sports subscription to watch the football on the big screen :-) Although we didn't take up on this, it is quite a big plus to have a reserved parking space just for you right in the middle of the city centre. We decided we wanted to take the train instead, and the owner very kindly allowed us an early check in so that we could go and watch the Cardiff City match (thank you!)

GermanyWe, a group of 3, stayed here for our 3-night visit to Cardiff. The apartment was a great, quite and clean accomodation to explore the city from here - especially as it is more or less located in the center between Cardiff downtown and the bay area (both in walking distance of ca. 20-25 minutes). The train station is probably a 15 minute walk. The apartment had everything we needed, was cosy and the kitchen was well equipped. Even for a stay of four people it would have had enough space and the convertable sleeping sofa in the living room was comfortable and easy to arrange. For any shopping needs there is a small co-op close by. It was handy having tea, coffee and sugar already provided. Entry into the apartment via key code was easy and felt totally secure. Overall, the neighborhood felt nice! The recommendations and Cardiff material provided by the hosts was a nice touch. We would surely recommend the apartment for your short or longer stay in Cardiff!

BelgiumToo hot water in shower, a manual to operate would be handy. Rated lower on cleanliness because of black mold in shower, fridge not really clean, dust at some location in apartment.
Good location between city center (<15min walk) and the bay. Easy to park in dedicated location. Good guidance from the host Quiet area (but heard the neighbor above walking)

Good location a bit away from the centre, so nice and quiet. Easy to get into central Cardiff. Area around the property is lovely and great to have parking if needed. Good shop close by. Property has EVERYTHING, and attention to detail is much appreciated. Shower Bluetooth speaker a nice touch! Wi-Fi and satellite/smart TV were reliable and great for inside time. Would always stay here when in Cardiff.

United KingdomA freezer compartment in the fridge would be good as we bought food for the next day and wanted to chill wine quickly. There is no loo roll holder because space is limited, but I guess that’s a first world problem!! We didn’t really know what to expect with the extra bed space, and had to make up the sofa, but this was all good so reported by our son who slept on it. A small observation… the front door rattles with the wind. Would be good to resolve this
Loved that it’s a complete apartment/ ground floor maisonette with full kitchen facilities. Loved the smart speaker too as well as the playing cards and excellent parking. We made dinner and enjoyed that at the table, knowing the car was safely parked right at the back door. Neighbours were quiet and the area generally felt safe. Would definitely stay here again.
