How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, gave recommendations for places in the area to visit and did all they could to assist with any requests we had. The hotel was able to provide a vegan breakfast upon request and ensured it was ready for 8am to allow us to go to ParkRun.
The room was a little dated, was very hot during the night, so we had to have the window open. It gets loud outside, so we struggled to sleep due to people leaving the local bars and shouting in the street. The toilet was temperamental and didn't flush straight away.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel is the best as it is in the high street and could get whatever we wanted. Also the staff were good good and friendly.
The dissatisfaction was with the mattress as it was not comfortable as could feel the springs hurting your body. Also the room flooring was too noisy whenever we walk problem. Needs more clean floors as the carpets were too dirty.

Verified reviewIt's located in the centre of Bala which makes it handy for all the local pubs and restaurants etc. The staff kindly provided somewhere secure for my bike which was great. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Being in the centre, and the pub being a busy one makes it very noisy. Bala at bank holidays seems to be the party capital of Wales! If you want somewhere handy for the bars etc and you don't intend going to sleep before 2am it's perfect! It wasn't the right place for us, but that's not the pubs fault. I think next time we'll find somewhere outside Bala!.

Verified reviewCentral location to Bala. Friendly staff.
The hotel just needs a long overdue upgrade. Looks and felt "tired". I'm a coffee lover so to be initially be offered instant coffee for breakfast on day one was disappointing. However, the following day the staff thankfully got some filter coffee in for the two remaining mornings. Diolch.

Verified reviewVery comfortable. Stay not over prised. Food fresh and plenty of it. Will be calling again in September
The car park was a squeeze and having to wait for other guests and visitor to move their vehicles so to exist or enter the rear of the building.

Verified reviewThe hotel is located in a great location. Those with plenty of lakes around with stunning views. Paddle boding and canoeing experience. Great lake location for stunning views of sun rise and sun set. Easy access to other attractions in north Wales. Loads of restaurants and hotels in walking distance. It's more of a budget hotel. Free limited parking inside and free on street parking 6pm to 9 am. The restaurant downstairs was nice and clean and the breakfast was fresh and nice.
The room was very much dated. The bathroom didn't look clean. The extractor fan wasn't working, and the bathroom didn't have a window. The carpets were too old.
