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.).

Lovely apartment with amazing sea view. Comfortable beds, very clean and caters very well for our dogs. The only downside was you have to take the dogs to the farside beach by Dylans. Cadwaladers was great for breakfast too.

United KingdomWe managed to park right outside the accommodation as it was not peak season. I'm not sure how easy it would be if it was.
The view from the lounge window is fantastic. So relaxing. Even if it was raining, you could sit looking out of the window watching the sea and shoreline. On a clear day, you can look over the bay and see Harlech Castle. The accommodation was 5 star. Comfortable sofa and bed. Everything there that you could possibly need and more. Spotlessly clean and dog friendly. Added bonus of Cadwaladers downstairs. Wonderful ice cream and food. If you fancied something more substantial, Dylans restaurant was only a 10 minute walk along the promenade that served seafood and other dishes. After your meal, you could sit outside with your coffee, listening to the waves rolling onto the beach.

PolandOnly the fridges humming is a bit annoying for light-sleepers.
The view on the ocean is unbeatable. A perfect place to stay in the area. We loved absolutely everything, tasty ice-creams included. Additionaly, the place is pet friendly, so we could take our animal companion.

United KingdomI couldn't find a whisk or a sieve-although I may just not have looked in the right place and some of the blinds were difficult to get to lift due to a broken cord in the kitchen and the blind in the bedroom being very heavy, as with most holiday apartments the kitchen knives needed a bit of a sharpen, the tin opener seemed a bit temperamental and the door mat at the entrance to the property really needs updating-this is shared with the ice cream shop, so appreciate that it will mainly be the shop making it dirty, but it is due a change as it is worn out and very dirty and not terribly effective to clean feet on the way in!
Amazing views-regardless of the weather, you can sit and watch the amazing view of the sea/beach/castle/hills, clean and comfortable apartment with good cooking facilities, we only used 1 of the bedrooms, but a good size if accommodating 4 people. The shower was lovely and nice that there were some toiletries and toilet roll provided. Easy to gain entry and lovely being above the ice cream shop which we frequented a lot during our stay! Very doggy friendly also and dog bowls and bed provided was very nice. Dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid and cloth all provided which is great as these are the things that get forgotten when coming on a self catering holiday! Great stair gates.

United KingdomThe Stairs up to the accommodation would probably be daunting if you have mobility challenges, I have not long ago had a replacement knee and just kept reminding myself that it would be worth it when I got to the top. The Parking was a bit problematic but you just have to keep going round and round until hopefully a space becomes available on the near by streets but for loading or unloading for a short time parked outside Cadwallader's ice cream shop below does not hurt.
I think as everyone who has previously stayed at the Iris has probably already mentioned, the view from the lounge window is beautiful, a forever changing picture. The accommodation was fantastic, clean, comfortable and everything had been thought off with regards to making the place feel like a home from home. We had a lovely stay Thank You
