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 KingdomHaving paid 1230.00 for 4 nights To be told it wasn’t a hot breakfast which doesn’t show on Site we had to pay 10 pounds each for breakfast also 12.50 for parking which I would have thought it comes with room at over 300 per night We would have eaten there every night but it when you add it all up it was cheaper to eat out For less
The location was a super spot room fantastic steak was lovely But had to pay £5.00 for chips Strange

IrelandBeen charged for parking and been charged for breakfast even though I had booked B and B through Booking.com . The hotel added an extra 40 on top because we got a cooked breakfast. We ordered eggs Benedict and the only thing cooked was the egg because the bacon was actually a slice of cold ham added to it. They said the booking was for continental breakfast which is nonsense. They never pointed out the parking or breakfast booking on check in either. Breakfast is breakfast.

I had a second floor room when I had specified I had a guest with mobility difficulties. There was a lift however there was a set of stairs to get to the room

United KingdomA small thing really . the hot water was a little bit intermittent. I was on the third floor and guess the pressure wasn’t good.still didn’t spoil the enjoyment of the hotel.
Great hotel in the centre of Fowey which is a really cool little town. Amazing view, really relaxed atmosphere, great staff and really cool lift . The room was stunning and we even had a great evening meal there.

United KingdomThe weather was quite stormy one night and the old sash window in my room was not at all draft proof even with the interior shutters closed. The radiator did not come on and there was no hot water running from the bath room sink taps in the morning or late afternoon however the shower was in full working order with hot water.
Gorgeous hotel overlooking the Fowey Estuary and sea. Beautiful grounds lovely outside seating areas. Lovely dining room, comfortable beds and luxury bathrooms. Super friendly helpful staff. Close to south west coastal path for glorious walks. Lovely town full of interesting shops and places to eat. Ferry the runs all day to Polruan.

United KingdomIt’s a shame you have to pay extra to park at the hotel but we appreciate its limited given the size of the town and the hotel will reserve you a space if available which luckily it was for us.
Fabulous location on the Fowey Estuary with a short walk into town. We stayed in a deluxe sea view room (109) which was worth the money, the view was amazing! We also ate at the hotel for dinner, had afternoon tea and had breakfast included and the food was all amazing. The staff are so friendly and we look forward to returning.

Bravo! What an amazing and memorable stay! We stayed for 2 nights at this amazing hotel, and we enjoyed a complimentary upgrade to a sea view room! The room was beautiful, clean and well prepared but a bit cold in the first night. However, the team ensured that our second night was warmer!!! The food was amazing!!! We had dinner and a lovely breakfast. Lovely food, well prepared and plenty of choices to select from! The staff were lovely, very friendly and always there to make your stay a memorable experience! They recommended us places to visit and a few tips for the town!

United KingdomSome noise from a wedding reception in the function room (above the bedroom?) which finished at 11:45pm. No parking available as fully booked by the wedding party, steep walk to public car park.
Great location with views across estuary and out to sea. Room and hotel in general was clean, tidy, nicely decorated and furnished with modern appliances and fittings. We booked a room with a sea view which was as advertised. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were really nice, good selection.

Excellent friendly Hotel with lovely views. Room was clean and decorated to a high standard. Food menu was fairly simple but very well cooked and matched the ambience of the Hotel.
