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 negative we found was the bed was pushed to the wall so one of us had to crawl over but that's due to space so we can't complain at that!
The staff were lovely from the get go. The room was clean, shower was great. Had dog bowls and bedding for our dog which was an extra treat! Breakfast choice of in the restaurant or the room was a game changer! The room was clean! Slightly small but we can't complain at that! Staff were helpful, food and drink are a reasonable price. Tea and coffee and biscuits were always stocked! The place was just a lovely, homey vibe and it was comfortable!

United KingdomThere are stairs up to the bedrooms. (For information only)
The hotel, staff and room was fantastic. It exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was a full English and cereal, granola and pancakes. You could order as much as you liked. You only had to ask for something for the room and it was there. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend the Royal as we will be going back. The hotel is dog friendly and a welcome pack is left for your furry friends. Our dog loved it. The hotel is situated in the heart of Barmouth and close to all amenities.

The Royal is situated so conveniently to Barmouth beach and seaside town. The accommodation is very comfortable and has everything you need in the room, even lovely hot chocolate sachets! The bathroom is clean and you have a lovely hot shower. You have a lovely choice of breakfast in the morning which was very nice. The staff are very friendly and i will definitely be staying again.

The room was decorated lavishly with a very cool vintage vibe. Felt like some characters from a classic movie.

United KingdomWe knew we had booked a standard room but it was smaller than we expected with the double bed against the wall. However the room did have absolutely everything we needed and there were no noise issues.
Great location, staff very friendly, local parking (small fee) and meals excellent (both evening meal and breakfasts).

United KingdomNothing, everything was great. If in Barmouth again we would definitely stay here.
Great location for local amenities. A very friendly welcome. We’ve stayed here before and requested the same room (no. 1), which were given. A lovely well appointed room, clean spacious and a very comfortable bed. Good bathroom with excellent shower. An excellent breakfast, lots of choice which you choose the night before. The pub has a great atmosphere, some good well kept cask ales on. A good choice on the evening menu. It’s best to reserve a table. On Friday and Saturday nights they sometimes have live music, which adds to the already great atmosphere. If you’re a light sleeper you might like to take ear plugs. We were on the first floor and the sound wasn’t disturbing

CanadaOnly problem for me was the room was way up. 65 steps and stairs to get there. I am 79 so did not enjoy the trip up and down .
Breakfast was excellent, unfortunately I missed half because of early train schedules. Room was large, comfy with a large screen tv. Bathroom was modern which was great. Also it was right beside the train station and the beach was less than 5 minutes walk away.
