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 location
It closed at 9pm, there used to be bottled water in the rooms but not anymore, the curtains were hanging off the rail, the breakfast is way over priced and should be included in the room rate as is at the Tilman for less.

Verified reviewLovely bed and great quality bedding. Beautifully, clean appointed bathroom.
We stayed in the loft room which was shown on the photo with lots of beams but we hadn't realised they were all so low. I couldn't sit up in bed for a cuppa, ceiling too low, walking to the bathroom was ok if you were Quasimodo, my husband and I are only average height but we had to bend over to ensure we didn't knock our heads. Chipped cups and no mirror in the bedroom, you can't dry your hair in the bathroom!
Thank you for your review. We appreciate all comments made and will be addressing the points made regarding a mirror and the chipped cup. We also understand it is a low ceiling with beams which, adds character but not always practical. Unfortunately, we don't have the option on this site to add a detailed description of the rooms. All our rooms are individual, therefore we added a full detailed description of the room on our website. We would love to welcome you back to The Fanny Talbot in the future, but in a room on the lower floors which are much more spacious without loosing the character!

Verified reviewTown centre location, close to shops, bars and restaurants - five to ten minutes walk from the beach. Spacious and luxurious accommodation. Master suite on top floor is superb with loads of space and access to huge bathroom with walk in shower and small bath. Secondary bedrooms also high standard, but smaller with access to shared, smaller second bathroom. Good storage in all rooms and generous provision of towels. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Excellent, modern kitchen appliances - including washer/dryer and large fridge/freezer. Large lounge with lots of seating and dining space. Some provision of supplies was welcome, with tea bags, coffee and milk sachets (nice to see some diary free sachets provided as well). Free car parking relatively close (a minutes walk) along with informal arrangement to store bikes behind building. Excellent staff looking after accommodation (in restaurant/bar downstairs). Above best restaurant in Barmouth!
A little noisy if you're sensitive, with noise from the downstairs bar and people passing on the street - especially late at night (although this is issue for most accommodation in the centre). Is next to the main road through town so traffic noise can be noticeable, especially if you need windows to be open. Duplex apartment accessible by flight of stairs and further stairs to two upper floors, so may be a problem for those with accessibility issues. Kitchen staff from the downstairs restaurant making noise and smoking early in the morning comes up through back windows if open. Slightly stingy on provision of consumables - one single dishwasher tablet, one laundry pod, one tea towel, water filter jug but no filter insert provided. Basic and slightly bizarre kitchen equipment provision - four sieves but only one frying pan, three measuring jugs but no baking trays/dishes, lots of blunt kitchen knives and no sharpener.

Verified reviewThe food was excellent, the staff were very good and ensured that my dietary needs were met. The kitchenette was useful and when returning in the future will plan our trip to make full use of it as this stay was just to check out the area.
The only negative comment is having to move the large bed to retrieve something dropped there was a large amount of dust under it.

Verified reviewLoved everything about it, from the air con in the room to the little touches, like the Welsh made toiletries. Everything in the room was great quality and the shower was fantastic. The sound proofing was also very effective as we couldn’t hear anything outside the room
