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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomI should have booked restaurants for meals quite early on as it was a busy period. Luckily there is a Tesco nearby and I was able to make use of the fridge and purchase food for dinners as well.
I had a nice sized room at the front of the house. i was concerned that it might be noisy, but it was very quiet. There is a small fridge in the room stocked with juice, milk, yogurt and cereal for breakfast as well as eggs and an egg boiler, which was a really nice touch.

NetherlandsThe room was small (we knew that when we booked the 'compact double', but we had to get used to it because the room in our previous hotel was large). Breakfast was nice (a.o. cereals, fruit juice, milk, water and eggs to be prepared with the egg-cooker) but you had to eat it in the room/on the bed which is not what we are used to.
Location in a quiet area, 10-15 minutes walk to train station and Carbis Bay beach, bus stop for St Ives and other Cornwall destinations in front of the B&B. Shop (small supermarket) next door. Nice and friendly owners. Small issue with door hook hanging loose was immediately fixed after we reported it.

CanadaGetting to the room from the train station was a drag. Uphill pulling a bag and no street signs. Glad gooogle gave me directions. Room was small as was the bed.
Room was very close to bus stops so you could go pretty well anywhere. There was a fridge in the room and even an egg cooker with eggs and juice and yogurt provided.

United KingdomGreat location. 10 min walk to carbis bay. Bus stop right opposite accom and another bus stop 2 mins walk up the road which takes you to st ives. The lands end coaster bus and lizard bus can be taken from this bus stop very convenient hop on hop off bus. If you visit Cornwall id deffo recommend you looking into the hop on and hop off bus £5 ticket all day can get on any bus. Didnt expect breakfast so nice surprise when we were given cereals, water bottles, milk, eggs, juice, pain aux chocolate, fruit tub and oat bars in our room which were restocked every day. Costcutter next door if need anything. And becks fish and chips down the road about 8 -10 min walk, lovely fish and chips. Comfy bed.

United KingdomIt could have been made clear that the B&B does not provide cooked breakfast or a breakfast room full stop. Instead breakfast cereals, eggs and some other breakfast items are provided and refilled and to be eaten in the room. This is not the end of the world, but not ideal.
Decent B&B at central location in Carbis Bay only a short walk away from the beach and train station to go to St. Ives or other places like Panzance. Rooms vary in size, one room we booked (2) was OK and the other (8) was a bit on the small side. Still, very good value for money.
