Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel was lovely quality and both members of staffs were so friendly. The breakfast served was more than enough and excellent quality. The rooms have comfortable beds and nice size tv with some rooms that are sea view and we were lucky to have one of these and no extra charges for these types of rooms. Look forward to going back again soon.

Room was clean, plenty of tea/coffee milk, sugar. Only stayed a couple of nights but I 100% would stay again . Pauline

Decided to book a night away for me and my friend. She's stayed here with family and her dogs before, so recommended it. What can I say apart from what a fab little place.. to some it may not be a Palace but for us it was lovely...comfy beds, cute little welcome pack with tea/coffee/biscuits, fresh towels, hairdryer in the bathroom and literally when we walked in you could smell it had been cleaned. Steve and Kate were so accommodating and have plenty of breakfast /milk options for anyone with dairy allergies or vegan/vegetarian. We decided to go by train instead of driving due to knowing that parking can be limited in barmouth during peak season, and I'm glad we did as it was busy. They have a few rooms available with dogs and although there were some there you wouldn't know as they were so quiet lol. We will definitely go again, thankyou to them both 😊

We have been coming to Steve and Katie at crystal house since 2019, and are coming again for our 5th year with them 2023 (in a couple of weeks time!). I cannot say enough good things about them, friendly, helpful and an amazing breakfast. The rooms are lovely and clean, nothing is too much trouble and honestly we wouldn't stay anywhere else. If you want flashy modern white marble staircases, this isn't the place for you, but if you want comfort, a feeling of home from home and a warm welcome then I cannot recommend anywhere better. We simply wouldn't have kept coming for 5 years if we didn't love this little B&B and the kindness of Steve and Katie. Looking forward to being back in a couple of weeks and setting up the booking for 2024!

We’ve just left from our 1 night stay at Crystal house, what a fantastic experience. Firstly the normals bits - exceptionally clean, great location - great views from room 9. Now the important bits. We very rarely stay at b&b’s - we’re more a hotel type family. But Kate and Steve made our stay a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back. It’s the personal touches that count and Crystal house won’t disappoint - all the way down to a birthday candle for my little ones 4th birthday for breakfast. Thank you both for making us feel so welcome. You’ve got customers for life now!

Will not be staying here again!! I have had 2 bad experiences here so should have learnt from the first!! I took my mom a few years ago for a nights bed and breakfast and when I got there was informed that breakfast was not included although it clearly stated when booking that it was! Their explanation was that I had booked through Booking.com which stated breakfast included but their policy had changed and unless booked through them could not have breakfast!! My 80 year old mom was very disappointed and we had to go and have breakfast elsewhere! I booked again a few months ago and was stated as a Dog Friendly Hotel! I booked for a night with my dog and when I arrived after a long drive from the Midlands was told that the room I had booked was not pet friendly and they could not give me the room! They said they only had 2 rooms that were dog friendly and mine was not and they had no rooms available for me although the money had already been taken from my bank account and they could not refund it! So not only could I not stay but I had paid for my room and was refused a refund!! Also I had real trouble trying to park as was only off road parking and was very busy!! Disgusting treatment!!!

Response from Katie Price, Owner at Crystal House
Responded 22 June 2022
You clearly have an issue with us; why you keep booking short breaks with us, I have no idea. You arrived with a dog that was not pre-booked with us. It says in at least five different places on our advert with Booking.com that pets are allowed UPON REQUEST. The (supposed) first stay with us is untrue as we do provide breakfast and always have done (except during part of 2021 when we weren't allowed to by law). If I remember rightly, you gave us a negative review on another occasion where you said that we over-charged you. You booked a room for 4 guests and then only arrived as a party of two guests. We didn't over-charge you; you under-occupied the room. At the time of June 2022 stay, you then proceeded to threaten to set fire to our business; the Police were informed and you admitted stating that that was your intention. From this point onwards, you were no longer welcome to stay as we reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone who is threatening to us as owners, other guests or our business. Please refrain from booking with us again in the future; your booking will not be accepted.
