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 organisation needs serious work. Told food was served 5pm to 8pm. At 6.25pm the menus were removed and we happened to ask why. Told kitchen was now closing at 6.30pm. If we hadn't asked we wouldn't have been told so we decided to order and eat a good hour before we planned to. Went up to order drinks at 7.20pm and saw other guests ordering food as the kitchen had been reopened. Not a big deal but annoying all the same.
Lovely hotel, fab decor, nice staff

United KingdomThe room lacked a bedside table for one side of the double bed and it would have also been better to have a couple of chairs in the room. There is adequate space to accommodate the extra furniture that would have made it more comfortable. There was a window seat but chairs would have been more comfortable to use. On our second night of staying at the hotel we had planned to eat our evening meal there to be told that they had a booking for a party of 12 and could not therefore accommodate us. We had to go out in heavy rain to find somewhere to eat
The food was very good . The room was big and the bathroom was modern. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The chef Jordan and the lady serving, Lenkia, produced excellent breakfasts and service. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The hotel has several public rooms for use such as the bar, lounge and dining rooms. the situation of the hotel was perfect, right in the centre of Bala High Street with pubs, restaurants and shops all within easy reach. The Lake was a short walk away.

United KingdomThere aren't many parking spaces there and you share them with the people coming to the bar or restaurant, not just hotel's guests. Food service hours a bit limited I thought but great menu though.
Excellent location in the high street. We were lucky to get a parking space at the back of the hotel as there weren't many spaces. Advantage of arriving earlier I guess Nice staff. Lovely size room and even larger bathroom. All very clean and cosy. Tea/coffee facilities very generous. TV with Amazon/netflix/... Great breakfast, with "main" served, rest self-service in a nice part of the hotel
