Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomRather a lot of steps for me (mobility problem) and no lift, otherwise would have been maximum stars. Very helpful staff offered immediate assistance.
Lovely atmosphere, helpful staff, fascinating building beautifully laid out and equipped. Service and food (breakfast) good. Thoughtful details and very high standard of furnishing, amenities and comfort in bedroom and bathroom. Everything working perfectly and very clean. Would have loved to stay longer and now I know where it is I must find a reason to go back for a leisure stay.

United KingdomThe bedroom was smaller than i was expecting, there was limited storage for clothing. We stayed during a hot weekend and there was no air-con. A fan was provided, which was better than nothing at all. The coffee machine in the room did not work properly, and there was no fridge to keep drinks cold.
Very clean, quiet surroundings, unusual building (ex Monastery). Nice restaurant facilities, with excellent fresh food and a good choice of menu. The staff were very courteous and polite. The garden was a highlight, which was very nice to spend a relaxing afternoon. The fresh cooked breakfasts were excellent. The bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomWe should have been told on checking in that we needed to register our car, as we will now be receiving a £100 parking fine which we will have to contest, as we didn't see the notice in the car park. A large notice at reception would be useful.
The room was lovely and the whole building. The breakfast was great. It was very central.

United KingdomEvening restaurant set up trying to be 'high end,' (food was lovely), but effect totally spoilt by loud pop music with heavy bass which remained intrusive even after I asked if it could be turned down so we could converse more easily!
Gorgeous gardens, quiet bedroom, very attentive Thai lady serving at breakfast who was lovely. Excellent, innovative choices for breakfast as well as traditional full English. Hotel very handy for Roman Museum and other remains in Caerleon.

United KingdomWhat’s not to like? Other than I can’t afford to live there permanently!
Our third stay at the Priory, this time in one of the cottage rooms. How wonderful to have your own little semiprivate garden! As always, the decor was beautiful and tasteful. Lovely to have a robe to relax in, and the roll top bath is always my favourite treat of the stay. Staff were as ever, so friendly and helpful. Evening meal was simply stunning, worthy of a Michelin star or two! If you stay here, you really must dine here also. All of my requests were met and we even sat outside until sunset with a few cocktails. Had a lazy late check out at 1pm for a bargain £20. Couldn’t fault a thing.

This is a really special hotel in Caerleon. The lovely old priory has been beautifully restored, the rooms are gorgeous and there is completmentary tea, coffee, herbal teas and both still and sparkling water. The restaurant is outstanding and the staff were professional and friendly. We even had a free glass of Cava on arrival - a welcome treat!

AustraliaThe bed was comfortable but my partner is 6'4" so the enclosed bed end did not work for him. I liked that you provided a non-slip bathmat as it was needed. I found the breakfast a bit rushed. I was sitting reading (there were others having the full English breakfast at other tables) just grazing on my yogurt etc when there was a push to clear my place. I pushed back (which is most unlike me) and the waitress then offered me pastries and in the end it was ok - but I would say people are on holidays be a bit more relaxed :) It was unfortunate that there was a "Buck's" party on that night as they were loud in the bar and restaurant but that was not the fault of the management. They did accommodate us and move us from the restaurant to a quiet corner of the bar and we moved again when the party moved to the bar. As this was a five-year catchup with relatives for one night only (we are Australian and had driven specifically to Newport to see them) we were after a quiet place.
Gorgeous ambience and decor. Loved the glass of bubbly on arrival.

United KingdomWe have always enjoyed the food, but the options on the menu this time around were not very good in our opinion. We also thought the bar area seemed a bit too dark.
We have been here half a dozen times now and stayed in the cottages. Always loved it and will definitely be back. Love the air conditioning in the rooms and the sun was out so enjoyed sitting out the front in its own garden

The ground and location are beautiful as is the hotel building itself. The presentation and smell of the corridors and rooms are also lovely.
