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 drainage from the shower is really slow - we had to have quick showers as the shower tray would fill up quite quickly, and take a while afterwards to drain
We really loved the central location, right on the seafront. Not too far away from the pier and local amenities! Awesome for use as a base for days out, and cosy enough to have a day in when the weather doesn't agree with plans.

United KingdomThe walls were incredibly thin and you could hear the loud music from the other apartments. not very relaxing. The sound on the TV was poor, so it was difficult to hear about the other noises! Couldnt close the door in the bedroom because the bed is in the way! (maybe hang the door the other way?) Would be nice if there were some leaflets explaining that there were some shops and restaurants right on the doorstep - we actually found them by accident - and they were great!
Great to have free parking, this was a big plus - especially off road. It was close to restaurants and shops.

CanadaHeating system wasn’t the best.there was a heater for the main floor but upstairs was cool.
The location was ideal, walking distance to the lovely village of Oystermouth.We arrived after dark so got a little confused wher the car park was and how to get in but didn’t take long to work it out. Ideal to have a place to park off the road.

SingaporeI'd book this apt at this price, thinking it was on the beach (as advertised), but there was no sea view. Nothing much to dislike inside, though some things can be improved - (a) instructions on opening the door on the Mumbles road side instead of from the carpark side (which were latched locked), (b) other than the radiator in the bedrm, the other 2 takes 4-5 hrs to heat up! Owner says she may change them. (c) Bathroom - Shaky door (sliding barn door type) with no lock & needs a bin
Good location, near the seaside and eateries, clean & new apt, well equipped kitchen with non-stick ware for cooking (perhaps need oven mittens), private parking. The bedroom is a little tight. Note that the apt is on ground floor and is near the seaside but not on the beach or beachfront - need to cross Mumbles Rd, walk past a row of houses before you can see the seaside (not a beach). The host was responsive to assist when needed.

United KingdomI’m not really sure where to start… Upon arrival… First impressions I thought we had arrived at a block of (without sounding stuck up) council flats. I assume some of the residents that live in some of the flats were out drinking with music playing etc… wasn’t a great first impression if I’m honest. Parking is a squeeze too but we managed. Key safe could do with a number on it considering there’s more than one. I was under the impression that it being a “seafront apartment” that it would have a sea view. The property isn’t a seafront apartment - albeit not far off, it’s not quite and there is absolutely no view as it is the ground floor. When we first walked in we were hit with a stench of damp / foisty smell. It appeared to be coming from the bedroom - upon inspection the wardrobe in there had a big hole in there that went into the ground…. It was filthy. It wouldn’t take much to just box it in and not sure why this would be left like this. It is not only unsightly but I would say a health hazard. Bedroom was very small….. and the bed!!!! OMG!!! I’ve seen previous reviews about the bed but let me tell you, it’s not just a bit hard or bumpy…. I haven’t a clue what is going on there with that but it was impossible to sleep in. We went to get the bedding for the sofa bed… this was clearly used and unclean, which I had been assured prior to the stay that the “cleaner” had said there was fresh bedding available… this is kept in the smelly wardrobe. I messaged Gemma to let her know, she gave me the code to help myself to other bedding in a storage container outside. Never asked if everything else was okay with our stay or anything. I must say…. I am only writing this review now that my held deposit has been released as that took over a week to do so- be warned. The cleanliness of the property wasn’t the best, mould in the bathroom, the bath mat to step out on was very dirty and unhygienic. There were false eyelashes found allover the floor.
Location - but then this was misleading.

United KingdomWe complained about the mattress which was of a very poor quality and extremely lumpy and very uncomfortable. We were told it would be changed in due course. We both had very little sleep. The duvet and pillows were not of the highest quality and looked grubby when we had to strip the bed at the end of our stay. The sink in the bathroom was far to small and because of the large cabinet above we found it difficult to use without getting water all over the floor.
The property was in a central location.

Great location for exploring Mumbles and The Gower Peninsula. The parking is an obvious bonus as finding a space in Mumbles is difficult. Check in instructions from the owner were clear and the apartment was clean and comfortable and close to shops and restaurants. Ideal for a couple on a short break
