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 KingdomGoing home.
Meg, you have a beautiful house. I love all the quirky details. We had everything we needed. The 6 of us have had a great time. The weather was kind to us, and we managed to conquer the hills on the walk back from the beach on several occasions. Waking up to the view of the castle with the sea beyond every morning was very uplifting. During our stay, we visited Harlech Castle, which is great, took the train to Barmouth for the day, and also drove to Portmeiron. We ate out at the Castle Cottage Inn and Bean & Blwm pizza. The Deli and various other cake/ice cream shops are all worth a visit. We've all had a wonderful time. Very relaxing, even though we were busy. All the best, Liz, Martine, Robin, Daisy, Evie, and Kris.

SpainWe found the step outside the bathroom worrying although there was an automatic light that came on at night. Parking is a bit daunting.
Communication with the owner was very easy. She provided lots of information prior to our stay and the welcome gift was much appreciated. The house is in a quiet situation and was well supplied with everything you might need. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Harlech is a great place to stay. The views are lovely and there's lots to see and do in the surrounding area.

AustraliaCheck in at 4pm, check out at 10am sharp. Shame check out can not be extended unless you pay an extra £15 per hour.
If you are looking for a “chocolate box” village by the sea, a “quirky” little cottage full of rustic charm and ambience, and endless historic and sporting attractions to fill a month of Sundays…..No. 1 Porkington Terrace will leave you refreshed.

IcelandIt was only 2 days, so Im looking at dates for the summer, for at least a week. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Card games, wood for the fire, all appliances that you need, very good power in the shower, beds very comfortable and the place was very clean.just be careful when parking your car on the street.

Loved everything about this cottage. Beautiful decor, with plenty of space for our family of 5. A wonderful position in a very friendly village, highlight being the fantastically stocked grocer at the bottom of the road. Meg is a very welcoming and attentive host - thoroughly recommend a stay here!

United KingdomParking can be a bit tricky on site if you have a big van but it should not be a problem with car. There is a long stay car park nearby where we decided to park which is a bonus as the walk to the car park will give you the amazing view of the sea and castle .
The view from the cottage is stunning! The house is clean, well maintained and comfy. Excellent location and is with in walking distance to the local store, pub and castle. Meg is an excellent host. She gave us all the information we need for our stay. She even personalised the room for the kids staying. The kids were entertained with loads of board games to choose from. The WiFi is free with excellent signal. We had a complimentary bottle of wine and the famous Welsh cake waiting for us when we arrived which we enjoyed whilst watching the sun set in front of the house. The cottage is a very nice place to relax and definitely a home away from home

United KingdomIt's not a downside, but it's quite hard to park there, especially if your not a good driver like me, but worth the view.
The cottage is very cosy, spacious and clean. It has an amazing view to the sea and the castle. The living room is perfect for hanging out.
