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.).

The location is optimal for a Cardiff stay, and the hotel rooms are quite comfortable and sound proof overall.

United KingdomRoom OK but as an upgrade to "suite" room 318 I think, it was on par with a Premier Inn. Not that it was not OK, it was. My only comment was toilet had not been cleaned as thoroughly as it ought to (poo marks!!!)and was disappointing as blue toilet duck in there but we saw on arrival...bit yucky. The air vents very clogged and dusty too and my son kept sneezing
The arrival hosted by Jamie was wonderful and really made an impression on my 9 year old (Luca.) We had travelled some way and had train delays so to be greeted as we were truly made a difference. Son loved his welcome back and Griffin the Dragon not to mention complimentary drink vouchers. Another lovely touch is the "welcome snack" area as marshmallows went down a storm in his hot choc. The other area I loved was the reception area and the lighting design and cool area plus my glass of Madri pre-chilled! Great value for bargain price I paid in advance!

Really nice and friendly staff hotel room was clean and spacious we had a family room with a large double bed and 2 single beds which was perfect. Nice choice of breakfast food in the restaurant and my girls enjoyed the pool table in the lobby

United KingdomThe lift kept breaking which was annoying especially if you had limited mobility so couldn't use the stairs. Some of the residents were not very considerate of their neighbours when they were talking at 4 in the morning.
The hotel is very central and just over the road from the arena which was excellent. Room was spacious and had everything we needed for our short trip.

United KingdomThere was a used tissue and the mouthpiece of a vape left in behind the nightstand which I found when going to plug my phone into charge. Thankfully staff tended to this very quickly and were very apologetic.
The staff were absolutely outstanding. Incredible customer service and care, especially the man on the front desk during check in and check out of our stay. Breakfast was great too and included with our price which meant even more great value for money.

United KingdomThought £30 extra for having our dog overnight was a bit too much for this type of property. £30 is the price I pay when staying at a five star hotel. £15-£20 would have been more reasonable. I know they give dog bed and water bowl but most dog owners travel with these things. Also, maybe they need to quote the price of the dog stay before owners arrive as I’m sure most would feel it’s more than the extra charge they were expecting.

United KingdomThe sink in the room had no plug, the tap faucet was loose, although worked perfectly well. The way the sink bowl protruded into the already compact bathroom was an inconvenience. One of the two lifts broke, thus longer wait at busy times. The street noises ascended to 5th floor with clarity, all through the night. Revellers until 4am, commercial trucks unloading from 5am. Better sound proofing would be great. All said I would definitely stay again.
Friendly staff. Excellent location for CIA, plenty of restaurants and bars close by. Plenty of off site parking and on site ( limited) available. We were given a Free breakfast upgrade, very pleasant surprise and the self service full breakfast was very nice. A good ( quick) supply of hot water ( even on 5th floor). Blackout curtains very effective.
