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 KingdomZilch. It's all to like.
This is just a brilliant place to stay! Guest lounge, log burner, homemade cake and tea to greet you. Spent acouple of hours by the fire with the rain crashing on the windows, looking out over superb views. (Unfortunately got up just a bit late next morning to see the barn owl hunting over the grounds). Breakfast had to be the best I've had in any accommodation - noticeably high quality and locally sourced. Mix that all in with beautiful clean rooms and friendly hosts and you have a perfect stay.....

United KingdomStaying at the Fig Tree was lovely from beginning to end, I was served with complimentary tea and home made cake in front of a warm log burner. Off road parking was appreciated,. wonderfully quiet during my stay and a first class breakfast. Definitely my first choice next time I'm working in Cornwall.

United KingdomCan't think of anything that could have been better.
Stunning, quiet location not too far from the sea and the towns of Falmouth and Penryn. Very good for family visiting Penryn Campus students. Friendly and helpful hosts (unexpected and very welcome tea and cake on arrival), good breakfast choices, beautiful house with tastefully furnished rooms. High standard of accommodation for the reasonable price.

What a lovely find, nothing was to much trouble, delicious coffee and cake was offered on arrival. Stunning scenery, sat outside in the evening and saw an owl hunting for food. Comfortable bedroom with coffee & tea available and on the second day a homemade cake was left for us when we arrived back in the evening. Use of a fridge for drinks or food was handy, and relaxing lounge room for evening board/card games can be used. Breakfast was outstanding plenty of variety on offer. Hosts happy to offer advice on best places to eat and visit, Would definitely recommend

United KingdomI have to say Fig Tree House is a real gem of a B&B. The house is simply beautiful, immaculately presented with classy décor and set with fine detail, and all set in a stunning country location. The hosts were very welcoming and attentive, without being over the top. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going for the whole day. The only downside was, we did not spend enough time there, the place is so good it deserves time to be savoured to be appreciated to the full. We only used it as a pitstop whilst traveling through for one night, but are already planning for when we can return...

There was a wide choice at breakfast from fresh fruit to a full cooked Cornish. I was even offered a tea and cake on arrival. There was even fresh milk in the downstairs fridge!

Our Sat Nav let us down finding the property but thankfully the lovely owner came a rescued us. So it didn’t happen a second time he dropped us down to the local pub and came and collected us. That was much appreciated. Didn’t really want to leave this beautiful property and the lovely owners.
