Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing! We were really impressed and it was more than we expected for such a fantastic price!
The room was really spacious and so was the ensuite with bath and shower over with everything you could think of. Plenty of storage and tv with sky and Alexa in the room too even turning on and off the lights. USB ports in the bedside lights which we did not realise until the morning we were leaving. There is fridge and freezer plenty big enough to store what you need and even a tub of ice cream and ice cubes. Toaster, kettle with crockery too not forgetting the corksrew and hairdryer. Bottle of water, tea and coffee facilities. Nothing was too much trouble and if you needed anything you just asked. Plenty of privacy with key for the room. Decor very chique and it was spotless! Location was perfect, nice quiet area and security high with parking outside Lanas garage. Morrisons just a walk around the corner with cafe including breakfast being served all day. ALDI and Lidl not far either and walking distance to a couple of family friendly pubs also selling food. Bus stop just down the road and £2.50 per person whether you want a couple of stops or into the city. If you fancy a walk it's about 1 hour 10 minutes depending on how fast you walk, we did it in an hour from Blackwier Fields. Lana is a fantastic host and we received such a warm welcome, we will definitely be back and could not recommend this accommodation more.

Good facilities, Lana was lovely, as were her 2 dogs. Within walking distance of the hospital, took me around 35 minutes and with free parking at the home, took away that stress of finding somewhere to park for the whole day.

The room was beautiful, with decor that made it feel more homely than a standard hotel room. The en suite had a bath and was all very clean. The lady who rents out this room is a beautiful human being, as are her two dogs! (If you aren’t a dog person or have allergies, don’t worry, they aren’t allowed upstairs and have never been in the room you rent) and if you are a dog person, which I very much am, she lets them say hello and you get free cuddles. The landlady had no issues with my friend popping across and visiting me for a couple of hours. I’ve stayed in a few air b and b’s in Cardiff and this is without a doubt the best. Will definitely be trying to book this space again on my next visit. Thanks for everything x

Would have loved some real coffee but close to Morrisons so one could walk.
A lovely and friendly host with a beautiful and cleverly decorated room close to the station and routes to Cardiff central. Quiet and peaceful sleep, very clean and tidy.
