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 KingdomNothing apart from the weather, which no one has any control over !
As a coeliac the fact that not only was a range of gluten free food available at breakfast (continental) but also that they had a special toaster just for gluten free use to stop cross contamination. That attention to detail sums up the friendly and professional atmosphere of Elysian B&B. You are welcomed and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful stay and will definitely go back.

United KingdomWould have preferred cooked breakfast rather than continental option. Only liquid soap available which was placed in shower cubicle, maybe this would be better by the wash basin & a block of soap made available for the shower.
Good technology, arrival chocolates & a basket available with his and hers dressing gowns and slippers. Fresh milk put in mini fridge with tea and coffee pots all complimentary. Tony’s Tavern on site, good beers on tap with large TV covering sports.

it was beautifully styled, clean and quiet. The owner went above and beyond in her attention to detail in the rooms and in the dining room. Top class tea and coffee provision with extra treats, and a very full buffet for breakfast. The best BnB I have ever stayed in.

United KingdomNothing.
Our room was large with a comfortable bed and large screen tv. Tea, coffee, bath robes and slippers provided. The breakfast was continental with a very good variety of choices. We particularly liked the fresh seaside vibe of the breakfast room and quiet sitting area with loads of reading books. Tony’s tavern outside was a great addition and was nice to have a drink in at the end of the day. We had a good meal of scampi and chips when we arrived. Everywhere was well kept and very clean. The hosts and staff are lovely and friendly and would recommend this place to stay.

United KingdomThe only thing which stopped this being a perfect B&B was the lack of a cooked breakfast option. The continental style was varied, quite adequate - but it's just not bacon is it?
A fantastic stay, really friendly staff, top notch facilities. The room was really modern and well fitted out. The restaurant on site gave easy options for a beer/food and the location was perfect for Helston or Penzance/Marazion or Falmouth. The camp site to the rear gave lots of dog friendly exercise space and looks fine for campers.

United KingdomWe could not think of anything that we didn’t like about the property.
The appearance on arrival was delightful. The outside garden area was immaculate and even had three life size statues of a stag and two deer on the front lawn area. The room was very clean and decorated to a very high standard with lovely extras such as dressing gowns and slippers and some of their personalised toiletries. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They also have a very large area for camping at the back and a pub/restaurant on site. Plenty of space to sit out in the garden. The continental breakfast choice was incredible with masses of choice. A very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend this B&B and would definitely go there again.
