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 KingdomOnly a little thing the heating instructions could be a bit more detailed as we couldn’t turn it down so the apartment was boiling hot, an one other little issue we stripped the beds ready for them to clean and I was disappointed to see the quilt on the double bed was quite badly stained everything else was spotless amazing place to stay
The apartment was beautiful, spacious with everything you could possibly need for your stay beds were so comfortable

United KingdomWe had been advised that the outer door to the apartment block sometimes jammed and needed a good tug but on a few occasions we had to be bailed out by other neighbours (maybe too much of a challenge for two septuagenarians with arthritic fingers!).
The location was excellent - although exiled Welsh we have had many decades of enjoyment at Rest Bay so it was a real treat being able to stay in that part of Porthcawl.

United KingdomSafe parking, excellent apartment, super clean and smelling nice. Had everything we could think of. Clear instructions. Most of all great for our family, I had my toddler with me and have ocd but it was fantastic. Great location too, very secure area so you feel safe to which is really important with family. Host gave a number incase you need to get in contact which is comforting. Would definitely go again and recommend to others. Worth every penny, especially as it’s fully equipped so you can make meals for the family to which is a plus. Lovely decor too, was a luxurious stay!

United KingdomNothing to fault!
My first every time visiting Cardiff, surprise booking for my partners birthday, Rayner went above and beyond with the balloons, petals on the bed, banners and ciders! The view of the sea in the morning, the fresh smell of the apartment, the cleanliness, the communication was everything! The locals are lovely too. He absolutely loved it! The only thing is I wish we stayed longer! If you’re thinking of booking, just do it! Definitely won’t be disappointed. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. ( he sends his thanks too! ) 😊

United KingdomThe rooms get quite light in the mornings, luckily I always travel with an eye mask. But if you're a light sleeper - you may need to take these with you. However, I will never complain about waking up to the sun shining!
Excellent location, communication with the host was outstanding. Apartment was beautifully set out and had everything we could possibly need for a long weekend (and longer). Beds and sofas were very comfortable, and having a coffee on the balcony with a view of the sea was a perfect way to start every day. Plus free secure parking, and with easy walking distance of several beaches made this an excellent place to stay.

United KingdomHard to find anything wrong with it. Maybe have a tea towel for the kitchen, instructions on how to make it less warm.
Beautiful property, nice location even on a windy winters day. Immaculate inside, underfloor heating! (though a little too hot when we arrived). Great equipped kitchen - even tea & coffee sachets provided! Really nice touches throughout. My kids are already planning their next stay.

United KingdomNot suitable for those with mobility problems as no lift. The flat is in a block that does not have all the stunning sea views but looks out over the bins and car park and the other blocks.
Beautiful contemporary flat with two double bedrooms in a stunning location. Roomy living area with large TV and two sofas. Outdoor balcony with plenty of seating. Great café close by and access to a dramatic beach.
