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 KingdomThe bunk bed - I knew the room would have a bunk bed when I booked but really, it would have been a very comfortable single room, if it had an ordinary single bed in it. I missed being able to sit up in bed, the one chair in the room was uncomfortable and when I wasn’t asleep, I spent my time in the room sitting on the floor, reading a magazine.
You should be proud of how clean and well maintained the room was - excellent!

Owen was fantastic. Funny. Attentive. Made me smile. My room was so cute and the bathroom tiling was lovely. The single bed was comfortable and not too much noise from the hallway. The decor of the breakfast room and bar are really nice. Overall. A big thumbs up for me and loved staying onsite at the Royal Welsh. Awesome 😁👍

United StatesThe location at the Royal Welsh Showground was not that easy to find. More signs at the showground might have helped.
Nothing fancy here, but you get the basics that should satisfy travelers who are passing through. The premises were clean and felt secure. The room supplied a comfortable single bed, shower, TV and wi-fi. Restaurants and pubs in the town of Builth Wells were easy to reach with a car. Always nice to find pet-friendly accommodation, and this one has ample space for dog walks.

United KingdomPoorly signposted when entering Showground.
Excellent location for anyone visiting the Showground. Room was equipped with the basics and spotlessly clean. Very generous tea, coffee & milk provision in room. Useful information provided when checking in out of hours. Rang ahead and arranged for the hotel to receive a courier delivery on my behalf - very kindly left it in my room. Fast & attentive breakfast service, good portion size.

United KingdomCould do with more signage in the show ground to locate the accommodation, you really do think you are in the wrong place. but the host is excellent with directions.
Single room was a good size, an NOT the usual squeezed in space. The food was excellent, both the evening meal and the breakfast. Good value and no single person supplement
