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 KingdomIt’s a student house. If you’ve been a student you’ll know what to expect. Dingy and run down. It’s fine if you’re there on your own and just using it to pass out in after a night out in Cardiff, but that’s it. One point they need to sort out are all the broken windows. Several of our rooms we rented had sheet insulation held in place with sticky tape over broke windows which fell out overnight. It was relatively clean for a student digs and was fine for passing out in at the end of the gig, but I’d never go back.
Was cheap for the oasis gig as everything else was extremely expensive in comparison.

United KingdomThere was a caution sign in front of my room door. Part of the ceiling had come down, wallpaper was hanging of the wall, there dirty washing on the floor. And a guy wondering around in his underpants. The houses next door were boarded it, with rubbish outside. It was an absolute disaster. And should not be on booking.com as a place to stay. It was a health and safety hazard

PolandWhen I booked this place, I certainly wasn’t expecting luxury—but what I encountered made me leave. There was over a month between my booking and arrival, yet I received no communication from the guest house during that time. Even upon arrival, there were still no instructions, so I had to call them myself. I was told to send a photo of my ID via WhatsApp. Luckily, I use WhatsApp—but what if I didn’t? About five minutes later, I finally received instructions to access the property. I was given a code to a key safe by the front door and told to return the key to the safe immediately after unlocking the door—apparently, there's only one key for the entire property. Access to my room was via a separate code. Once inside, I discovered that one of the window panes was missing and had been replaced with a piece of cardboard. The entire property was dirty, and the carpets were in serious need of cleaning. I didn’t feel safe staying there, so although I had paid for two nights, I left after one and checked into a proper hotel. It's unbelievable that Cardiff University would promote such a poor-quality property at such a high price. Never again!

United KingdomThe building alongside it had no windows, smashed in front door, looked like a crack den! Terrible location, hard to find and ZERO nearby parking. When contacting the owner to discuss nearby parking he told me to “google it” Our room wouldn’t lock and they told us to move to the next room but to take the bedding with us, so we had to make our own bed and the new bed was visibly dirty. No door on the bathroom, no privacy, terribly dangerous winding staircase to the room too. Due to the changeover, the lack of help with parking and lack of signal at the property I missed my event, so I’m £300+ out of pocket Complete ignorance from the business when contacted about the issues.

United KingdomHallway stank of wee, shared bathroom which wasn’t included not described, bedroom did not lock so had to use furniture to barricade the door instead. Bed was covered in mold and the window in the room was smashed. There’s one key to enter the building so if someone takes it then no one can enter the building. Would actively discourage you from booking this property.

United KingdomFor me, it was great for the price and I've got nothing to complain, but if you are into complaining, then you're likely to find things to complain about as it's not a 5 star hotel.
The location is great for after a gig around the castle. The price is good too. Also the guy was very friendly, I arrived around midnight and he was awake waiting for my arrival.

United KingdomThis accommodation is not fit for purpose, if it was clean and time spent to update it has got potential. We was very unhappy clean at all, the bathroom is shared facilitate. The curtains was falling off, the bed was awful every time you rolled over felt like it would collapse. We had ants in the room TV not working. All bedding was in the communal kitchen unfolded and all over the place very untidy. One guest had a broken window and only had instalation covering. Holes in the bathroom door shared access with a key code someone was ringing door bell in the night kept me and daughter awake with load door banging. I have sent communication to booking.com as I want a refund especially being £280 for 2 very uncomfortable nights. We stayed out during the day it was really that bad

United KingdomThis place was appalling. I did not stay. Frankly it should not be offered on your platform. They have one key for entry in one of those coded little boxes. The key is shared between all occupants. The key was not there. I was let in by another occupant. The room also had a numeric code to enter. It took about ten attempts to get the door open. The room itself was terrible. Grotty quilt, a pair of black shoes next to the bed, thirty year old IKEA furniture, suitably worn out. The place leaves you with an instant feeling of despair. There is NO value for money here. You can imagine either the police or some crazy outside your door at 3am. There is no way this property should be on your platform if you have any minimum standard.
