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 KingdomDirty throughout the property. The building is in a state of disrepair. Odd smell. Wi-Fi signal was so weak in my room that I couldn’t connect my devices. Curtains in room were stained. The Door handle and lock to my room was difficult to lock (sunken door frame?).
Good location with ample parking. Friendly enough host. Really comfortable bed. Very cheap.

United KingdomOnly downside was loads of noise from room room next to ours and someone actually confusing our room with theirs and giving us mini heart attacks in the middle of the night hahahah we found it quite funny the day after 🤣 we did travel for very busy event so noise and it being busy was to be expected.
Paul was fantastic and lovely host. Very friendly and polite. Our room was spacious with lovely big bed and plenty 9f storage space. It was amazing weekend away and I would definitely recommend booking at Ty Rosa if you need great place to stay at fabulous price. Our room was about 20 min walk to the main city centre so it was easy for us to move about. Ty Rosa is close enough that you can walk but far away enough to escape noise of the city. We travelled for clash at the castle so city centre was super busy. We managed to get on street parking in great location as well. We had no problem with food getting delivered if that is somethig that anyone might be wondering about. The shared bathroom aspect was nothing to worry about and we did not have to wait at any point, hotel accomedates perfect amount of people so it wasn't overcrowded. We were made to feel very welcome and loved our stay. Would definitely book again and highly recommended 😁

United KingdomThe property lies a half hour's walk from the town, 25 mins from Cardiff Bay, with convenience stores nearby. Merely to say that Clive St. is quite a busy thoroughfare, so earplugs, if enjoying a front-facing room, may be useful ...
Very clean and comfy; tea/ coffee 'n' toiletries much appreciated; host Paul clearly a Good Bloke ...

United KingdomWhen we arrived the found the car parking very limited but might be because we arrived early. We parked on the other side of the road and a bit further down from the property. Although we were not in the room for long we found the TV an issue where it kept going off and weirdly when you stand in the room the tv will go off. Just a small issue but was a bit annoying.
Excellent location - only a 10 minute walk from the centre and a bus stop just outside. Also plenty of shops around the area. The hosts were welcoming and very friendly - we didnt get the chance to properly talk to them as we were mainly out and about but when we did Paul was very friendly and helpful. The value of the stay was excellent and would be happy to stay again for this alone. The room was nice and bed was big and comfortable.
