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.).

BelgiumOnly one place in the neighbourhood to have breakfast, lunch or dinner (12 min walk). The two other places as advertised f.e. at the reception (Bryn Tych and Siabod cafe) are permanently closed (!). During our stay a lot of residents were families with young wild and noisy children till late in the evening, so don't expect a layed back hikers/backpackers atmosphere. Bath towels not available unless rented 2 pound each.
Nice and stylish building and common rooms. Goid facilities (books, kitchen, drying room for wet stuff). Location for walking and adventures in Snowdonia.

United KingdomThe ladder up to the bunk bed was hard to use, my children were nervous to be up there in case they needed to come down in the night. A proper ladder would make a real difference.
Stunning location, friendly, nice vibe and decor in the communal areas. The room was comfy and the bathroom was close.

United KingdomWe stayed at the Rocks on our trip to climb Snowdon and go pony trecking in Snowdonia. It was a comfy and cosy place to come back to and after a very soggy mountain climb we could use the dry room to hang our clothes - very handy! They have thought of everything you could possibly need, or want, they had a selection of games, a tv room and a fire pit and Nick the manager was so friendly and helpful. It was close to a pub and a small pretty town with cafes and restaurants, as well as a short drive to Snowdon route start points. Would really recommend!

United KingdomThe only tiny comment is that there is very little sound insulation when guests are coming in and out of rooms. That said guests were very courteous and considerate in the evening.
This is a great little hostel. The staff are very welcoming, the hostel is warm, comfortable and very clean. The facilities are fantastic and very well thought out. The bedroom was basic but was very comfortable and clean. The location is fantastic for all activities in the Snowdonia area.
