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.).

Quite outdated, broken elements in the room I.e cupboard knobs, not that clean, Breakfast eggs were burnt and everyone sss complaining the food was too salty, for the price we paid we would’ve expected a little more cleanliness and proper food

Verified reviewThe setting was charming and the style and decor of the property really attractive. Breakfast was ok.
We couldn’t get the tv to work in one of our rooms. There are no staff on site so we phoned the number and the lady ( presumably the owner) said she couldn’t come then 5ish butshe’d get her husband to come at 8pm - he never showed up. The bin in one of our rooms was full of rubbish including empty cider cans which wasn’t a great look. One of the bedside lights didn’t work. It just felt a bit uncared for and the hosts didn’t seem to feel it was their job to respond.

Verified reviewLocation, bed was comfortable and room was quiet.
When we arrived we were told that they had lost our room key. They gave us the master but once in the room we realised that it did not have a key for the door on to the common veranda and we had no way to lock this door. We contacted the staff (it’s all remote management) and were told they don’t have a spare and that we shouldnt worry as it very safe. While I get the risk is low, with our passports, computers etc, this to us was an unacceptable risk but we were given no different options. Next day we left the key in the designated place but upon our return our room hadn’t been serviced. Given the price we paid we felt that this was a real failure.

Verified reviewStunning location & views
No member of staff at property upon arrival, seemed to be run on a shoestring, breakfast was happy shopper food. Will not be returning as very disappointed overall.
I’m very sorry to hear you write this. This is a self check in bed and breakfast as is written on the description before you book. Sorry expectations were not managed over this. We have completely gutted and refurbished Plas Dolguog and can assure future guests it is run with a lot of love and investment. All our food is sourced locally and great care was taken over the creation of our breakfast menu by our very talented chef Altaea. Her cockles, leaks and lavabread is a Welsh favourite. Hopefully future guests can see that this review stands out alone amoungst many positive reviews.

Verified reviewBeautifully restored building and rooms with lots of character and charm. The owners were really friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent too.
A little remote if you want to walk to a pub or restaurant for the evening but we also enjoyed this element too - so quiet and peaceful

Verified reviewComfortable bed. Good location, nice views of hills. Had the deli platter for supper 2 nights and it was nice, breakfast was quite nice. Bathroom was clean. Batteries were flat in both TV remotes but staff did replace them quickly when asked. Lots of parking.
Tried several times the day before arrival to contact owners with a question, through Booking.com message, phone call, left voicemail but no response to any of these. Staff were a bit elusive in general, a young girl serving breakfast was the main person visible (self-service check-in so you don't see anyone on arrival). Bedroom was a bit dusty - bedside table was covered in dust when I placed items on it. There was a folder with leaflets for local attractions but they were all 2 or 3 years out of date - maybe they need to get some newer ones? Feels like the owners just need to give the place a bit of a refresh and a bit more attention to detail.

Verified reviewIt was lovely, clean and the scenery was stunning. The staff were lovely and the service was outstanding
It’s not a complaint, it’s just that because of the age of the property there was quite a difference in the floor level from one side of the room from the other. I got out of bed and felt like I was running downhill. That said, I’ve just spent a week levelling floors in my own house and that was only two inches and took me a week to get right! It’s not a complaint, it’s more of a heads-up to future guests in case they have a thing for using roller skates as slippers.

Verified reviewLocation and rooms with balconies to watch the sunset. The music room with an 'honesty bar' was a nice touch. Breakfast was excellent. You are pretty much left to yourself as it is self check in but everyone I did meet were very pleasant and helpful.

Verified reviewBeautiful house, extremely well converted to B&B, with welcoming staff, delicious generous breakfast, great shower, nice toiletries, a lovely balcony and decent sized room with gorgeous view. Location is superb. Chilled 20 minute walk into town through achingly pretty countryside and another walk we didn’t do but looked gorgeous by the river.
The mattress was too soft and springy for my personal taste and needs but otherwise loved it all. A joy to discover.
