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.).

United KingdomThe WiFi was not very good and would not connect to our phones or the tv, therefore if you are travelling for work this could be an issue.
Good check in / out times. The room and amenities were good and everything you could need was provided in the room or throughout the hotel. The location was excellent.

United KingdomThe USB point by the bed didn't work and there was no main room lighting, which I would like the option of. Reception staff were friendly and phoned room to check everything was okay, which was appreciated
Good location for city centre, fantastic views from 17th floor. The room was ideal for two of us. we were able to park nearby in an NCP car park. Would definitely use again (we come to Cardiff several times a year)

United KingdomOverall while the staff and location were great, the room was a bit basic, with basic coffee and toiletries. I’d expect more from a 4*. There was also lots of dust and grime around the floor of our room, so it wasn’t the cleanest I’ve stayed in. I’d stay again though for the location.
The property is perfectly situated to central Cardiff. The staff were so great and attentive, ringing to check if we were happy with our room and letting us check in early as the room was ready in the morning. The beds are comfy.

United KingdomRequested a cot for two year old, which was provided and all ready upon arrival, but with no bedding of any description, including no sheet to cover the base. Went to ask for some but was told that this could not be provided. I don't know if this is policy for this particular chain but I know from personal experience that certain other chains do provide this. Stayed two nights. Came back to hotel after our only full day there to discover that towels not changed, beds not made and room not cleaned.
Great location. Good breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful as you would expect A couple of things could have been better but overall we enjoyed our stay

GermanyExpensive parking. Had to look for a spot some minutes away to find something cheaper. Wasn't that bad since there are some options close by.
The rooms were really good and exactly as described. The location was fantastic...right in the middle of the city and close to most of the hot tourist spots, restaurants and markets. The breakfast was very very good. Had a good variety, was delicious and most importantly, was fresh!

United KingdomThere was a huge what I thought was a closet in a corner which when I opened turned out to be a sheer drop down the building with what was probably the laundry chute. This door should have been locked! One more light bulb is needed in the corridor of the room, it’s a little too dark.
Location, facilities in the room, delicious breakfast, friendly staff (especially at the reception), and the ability to leave our bags at the hotel after check out till we boarded our train.
