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 KingdomWe arrived on foot and it's a very large complex of apartments, so we did have quite a walk round before we found the apartment. Instructions about where to find the keys weren't issued till close to check-in time and were not entirely clear, but when I contacted Helen, she was very helpful and all became clear. A hand towel each and one for the kitchen would have been nice.
Light and spacious. Comfortable beds. Stylish, comfortable living room. Large balcony with seating overlooking the river. Wifi. Quiet. Parking. Convenient for Cardiff Bay. Leisure complex on site.

United KingdomMain bedroom would benefit from a blackout curtain and the heating was not on when we arrived (February), though it was easy to switch on, it took a while to warm up.
Large, comfortable apartment, in safe location (with parking), within walking distance of Cardiff centre. Balcony will be a lovely suntrap in the Summer, with nice view of the River Taff. Perfect for a family of 4 and we would come back.

Absolutely loved this apartment. It was far larger than I expected and everything was immaculately clean and well presented. They even have little fancy toiletries. The bed was divine - I normally can't sleep with lots of cushions but it was so comfy I kept them all on the bed. Helen was a star and provided all the information we could need. We had a great night for my 30th and thank you for the well wishes Helen.

It was like a home from home. Host went over and above to answer queries and very fast at responding, cannot rate the host highly enough! The pool and hottub were a huge bonus and the kids loved this. They also loved the trampoline on the balcony. I would absolutely 100% stay here again when I'm next in Cardiff. Beds were unbelievably comfortable, kitchen well kitted out. Do not hesitate to book it was faultless!!

The best part we like the owners Helen and her partner… They were super helpful and welcoming… The size of the flat and location were absolutely brilliant… The main thing what we liked a lot that pets were welcomed.. Also we loved the view of the river and couldn’t believe how peaceful it was to sit and watch small boats pass by or people canoeing… And if you feel like jumping around, there was a great trampoline… we didn’t use because we didn’t have time… We will definitely comeback to this apartment..

United KingdomThere's nothing I didn't like but I think it should be clearer on the details that the pool is not in the same building and is a bit of a walk. I also think given the price you pay it would've been nice to have a few little cartons of uht to make a cuppa on arrival.
The apartment was spacious, clean, well equiped and decorated to a high standard. The actual complex seems very safe and secure. It was very quiet and a good location for both Cardiff Bay and the city centre. We didn't need parking but it was available if required. The host was quick to answer any queries and was very helpful.

United KingdomThis felt like an oversight based on the attention to detail on everything else.. but we didn’t have enough toilet paper in either of the bathrooms so had to pop out to buy some. We also struggled to get the hot water running, we did have a good intro from the host but it might be helpful to have a manual also available with general info to reference back to.
This apartment was in a great location to the Bay, but also has amazing river views from the terrace, especially when the sun is out! along with parking and loads of space for a 2 bed property. It was spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable beds and we were amazed how quiet the area was especially on a Saturday night. We were greeted by our host and had great communication from them before hand.
