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 KingdomThe bathroom had quite a lovely bath but also a small quite dated looking cubicle shower as opposed to a newer style walk in shower and there were water stains all around the outside of the shower door on the tiles which wasn’t aesthetically pleasing. Television was very small compared to the exec room and if it stays this size should be placed more central rather than to the far corner of the room.
Room was lovely and big and had a nice seating area. Was given vip extras on arrival having upgraded my room which was nice.

United KingdomRoom - some aspects of the room needed updating. The window was dirty and the bottom of the window needed replacing. Bathroom - good sized shower and separate bath tub but needed grout cleaning more in and around the shower and the shower door needed cleaning better.
Location - great location and able to easily access attractions such as the castle and city centre. Around a 30 minute walk to Cardiff Bay. Access to the spa facilities made it a nice extra touch to the stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was pretty quiet considering the location.

Good location. Close to Central Cardiff and easy walking locations.. Easy access. Nice and clean. Free coffee and tea in the room. The room was a good size. Showers were really nice and there was plenty of water pressure.. Nice hot and cold water. Gym facilities...

United KingdomThe only thing that was “wrong” is that my AC/heater unit didn’t turn on/off at all but staff were notified for future maintenance.
I enjoyed everything about it. Great location (if you enjoy the walking). Still very close to city centre and everything you need is around the corner. Clean, and well lit. Very trust worthy and friendly staff.

United KingdomBreakfast was bland & we were offered tea&coffee as we were seated, yet it never came despite others after us receiving theirs. No parking is unfortunate, we booked a space with Just Park in a car park 5min walk away - was half the price of the one opposite the hotel.
City centre Location was great, rooms were attractive, clean & comfortable. I had a treatment in the spa which was one of the best I’ve ever had, lovely spa facilities too. Staff were friendly & nice cocktails in the bar.

United KingdomThe bed in our room was on castors so did move in the night which meant our pillows fell down the back. The bathroom tap had pink and yellow stuff around the faucet which might have been limescale but looked quite unpleasant also no toothpaste etc provided in the bathroom which you’d expect in a hotel of this class.

United KingdomThe room felt like it needed a refresh - the interior feels a little 'tired'. The seat of the chair at the desk/ mirror was badly stained. The net curtains looked dusty. Generally I feel the hotel needs a refurb and refresh but it's very central and very clean in terms of bedding/bathroom so is perfectly acceptable for a flying visit.
Perfectly acceptable level of hotel for business purposes.
