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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaIt was a little way out of town but we still managed to walk into the city via a beautiful park and lovely neighbourhood, so not really a downside I guess 😃
Great sized room with a bath. Comfy bed. We had a really quiet room to the rear of the property. Good parking available. Really lovely pub with great food and relaxed vibe. The staff were awesome and incredibly helpful. Located very close to Llandaff Cathedral which is magnificent. Great coffee place just over the road too.

CanadaIt was very easy to hear noises from the other rooms, particularly the other bathrooms which woke me up a couple of times during the night and then very early in the morning which was a shame.
The staff were great, efficient and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and generous. The room decor and furnishing was clean and new and very tasteful. The location was easy to find and the parking was convenient.

Amazing place, great value for money. Very easy to get to and from Cardiff, we used bus to get to Cardiff and taxi back. Staff were very welcoming and engaging. Harry made check in easy and friendly nothing was any trouble the pub was busy but he took the time to explain everything. Chris at breakfast was very welcoming, again nothing was too much trouble.We have food allergies but all staff were knowledgeable and if they weren’t sure on something they checked straight away. It was a very welcoming experience and a lovely change to have warm welcoming staff who are a great asset to the pub. We will definitely stay again. Well done The Malsters.

AustraliaWhile it didn't bother us too much, people do need to be aware this is a pub and can be quite noisy at night.
Maltsters is a pub with rooms, the rooms are very big and very well appointed. The restaurant in the pub has a good range of food and drinks and these are reasonably priced. The pub is opposite a bus stop that will take you into town or further if required. The free parking at the back of the pub was very welcome.

United KingdomIf i had a chance to improve, I would say the pillows could have been a bit more comfy. My two were a bit flat and hard. But that is the only small fault I can say.
The location was excellent. Venue clean and welcoming. Room beautiful and clean. Outlook nice. Wonderful staff who know how to treat customers well. I can confidently recommend this venue to others.
