Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe entrance hall and stairs is dank and has an unpleasant smell, creating a poor first impression
Communication from the property owners was excellent prior to and during our visit. The property condition and facilities fully met our requirements, and we all agreed that the beds were among the most comfortable that we've experienced away from home.

Great location in town. Only a small walk from the car park. Plenty of eateries near by. The flat was clean and had all modern facilities. There were 6 of us staying and we all enjoyed our stay. Our hosts kept us up to date and provided all details in a timely manner.

United KingdomNothing not to dislike.
So we was a group of truck drivers attending a presentation evening. What can we say about our stay. 5 stars just isn't enough. Best night's sleep we've had in a long time ( many weeks stuck in a truck). The attention to detail was excellent, right down to a box of chocolates in the fridge. Very modern throughout. If we had to give a criticism it would be a different shower head but that is being picky. To the hosts give yourselves a tap on the back . If we get the opportunity to be down in porthcawl again we will definitely be booking again.

United KingdomNot one thing
The apartment was exceptional .. plenty of room for us as a family of 3 adults, 2 teenagers and a 4 yr old, comfortable beds, lovely bathroom and shower and fully equipped kitchen. Great location right in the main shopping centre. We came to Porthcawl for quality time as a family, we spent Saturday in the fair and Sunday on the beach. The apartment was an awesome place for us to return to relax. We would also recommend Sarah’s Snacks for a fabulous breakfast which is located opposite the property. The communication with the hosts Monique & Adam - The Burroughes Family was excellent. They kept us updated leading up to the stay and provided easy instructions to locate and the property.
