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 KingdomShower wasn’t overly powerful and was a little bit cramped due to the ceiling (can’t be helped though) Some noise from other guests in the morning (again, can’t be helped)
Really welcoming greeting Comfy bed and linen Lovely to have the pub next door

United KingdomWe arrived very late due to traffic which was quite stressful and felt under pressure that if we arrived later than pub closing we would not be able to check in. Also didn’t realise checkout was 10oclock which is quite early and felt a bit rushed, however the staff were incredibly nice about it and we were able to get ready and it wasn’t a major issue. All in all these were down to us not reading the detail properly to start with
It was a really nice warm welcoming place, people were lovely. Rooms very nice , spacious clean and everything you need

United KingdomNothing to report here. The water pressure at the electric shower can be a bit lower than on a "normal" shower which is entirely as expected (therefore you get hot water almost instantaneously) and the shower is a very modern 2 part unit. All brilliant.
Great place; all new and very much up to standard. Very friendly team making you feel welcome. The room, the bathroom, the selection of teas, coffees & biscuits is great. Great food & drinks at the pub / restaurant which seems to be very popular. Not the cheapest place but definitely worth every single penny. Will definitely stay there again.

United KingdomBreakfast option is a basic hamper. Tick off a list the evening before, croissant, bagel, muffin, porridge in a pot you add water to etc. Was perfectly fine, just different.
What a find. Lovely guest house separated from the pub so noise levels was not an issue. Lovely room, not huge but adequate and a nice shower room. Comfy bed and warm. The food in the pub was delicious and staff were lovely. Plenty of parking.

What a pleasant surprise...! Newly built guest rooms, to a high standard. Staff who seemed genuinely happy in their roles, very friendly, & attentive. A totally professional operation, & sooooo much nicer than anonymous larger hotels.... plus free parking & tasty pub food - what's not to like.... 20 minutes drive during rush hour to either Cardiff, or Newport. I will definitely be staying here again :o)

United KingdomCannot think of anything
The main factor for us was price - exceptional value for money. It was an ideal location for our needs ( didn't need central Cardiff). The room was warm and comfortable with plenty of hot drinks. We didn't order from the breakfast hamper but it looked quite extensive. The pub onsite had a varied menu and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly. For a Friday night we didn't notice any noise from the road or the pub.

United KingdomA friendly greeting, and we were able to check in slightly earlier as the room was ready. The pub was decent although we didn't order food, it did look like good quality and I could hear other guests receiving the same friendly service I did when I arrived. I would consider staying again for visits to Cardiff

United KingdomIt would have been lovely to have the choice of a cooked breakfast and one in the restaurant not in our room - part of the treat of being away. Hence we chose to have breakfast elsewhere.
The room was very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom facilities were also spacious and good quality. The whole stay was beautifully peaceful and a great night's sleep. The decor was new, spotlessly clean and attractive. It was great being in a separate building from the pub/restaurant although this was not noisy anyway. Very handy and close to get into Cardiff & Cardiff Bay if you have a car Cheaper than staying in the city
