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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 EV chargers didn’t work. I had messaged the accommodation in advance to check availability of the EV chargers and this was one of my reasons for choosing the specific accommodation. The area has very few EV chargers. However, on my arrival I discovered the EV charging points had not been operational for some time and are due to be upgraded. I wish this had been explained ahead of my arrival when I made initial enquiries about the chargers.
The stunning location. Room was comfortable and clean

United KingdomTable in the family room could have been a little bigger and there could have been some kind of shelve high enough so kids wouldn't be able to reach (for wallets, key etc).
It is really nice situated if you came there for hiking and was looking to avoid crowds.

United KingdomBunk bed mattress were slightly uncomfortable and it would be nice if there was atleast one couch in the room to sit on- although room were small though so not sure if couch can fit.. we booked the room with Mountain View but view from room 1 was blocked .. you have to stab in front of the toilet door to see the view so little disappointed with that but when you are out - you have 180 degrees of view
Scenery of the property, 180 degrees view of hills

United KingdomThe bunk beds were a bit firm for me and pillows weren’t very comfortable The communication was nonexistent I’m afraid. Not sure what happened but the website says they can provide breakfast packs and food for lunch. We were backpacking so this would have been really useful. I emailed a fortnight before, then again a week before, to ask about these but didn’t get a reply. We had to make sure we arrived before 5 to get something from the shop instead
Lovely clean rooms in a perfect location for the Snowdonia Slate Trail Kitchen had everything we needed Shower was great Having a shop available was very helpful, although it’s understandably not large so there are limited choices The chap in the shop was friendly and helpful

United KingdomBlocked shower drain, disabled shower seat didn't have lock so we couldn't stand in shower as the seat was in the way. Mattress gave me a back pain but I guess is just my condition as other family members didn't complain. No chopping board in kitchen to cut the bread or other things.
Quietness, cleanliness. Really peaceful location up in the mountains. No problems with checking in or out. Keys left in safe. Dogs accepted. Amazing view from bedroom.

Place was spotless on arrival, we had everything we needed, mattresses were very comfortable, location couldn't be better. Staff was friendly and helpful. Little shop on site was super bonus. Kitchen was perfectly fitted with everything you need for your stay and more.

United KingdomWould have been helpful to have some kitchen roll/cleaning wipes in the shared kitchen to help clean up spills. We expected a separate TV lounge, but the kitchen/TV lounge were the same room. Make sure you always have your one key card on you, or it's highly likely you'll get locked out!
Loads of parking. Very peaceful area with great access to many parts of North Wales. Spotlessly clean and well equipped kitchen. Great value for money. Easy access to building.

United KingdomThe smell in the toilet was awful. I would suggest the owner to get some common and mild air freshener instead of strong fragrance one, as we had to put the air freshener outside in order to be able to stay in the room. And the door makes very loud noise when we close it. It will be very easy to fix it using a bit wd40.
The location is superb, only 15 mins to the mountains, and 15 mins to a small town where there are takeaways and supermarket. The place is very quiet at night (as we were the only guests during non-peak season in Feb) which is exactly what we want. The room is a big small, but we used the desks in the kitchen.
