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 KingdomLots of steps to climb to get into the property, including one narrow staircase. This can be a bit tricky with lots of luggage. Because the parking space is a bit away, getting luggage from the car the flat can only be done using the loading bays nearby, so also can be a bit hectic.
Excellent location in Looe, close to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. Everything that's needed for a family with small children was in the flat, especially washing machine, dishwasher and bathtub very very helpful. Full flexibility with check-in time due to key provided in a key box. Great to have a reserved parking space (although it's a short walk).

PortugalSeveral flights of stairs upto the apartment but once the bags were there (got our grandchildren to carry them!) worth it for the comfort and view.
All of the directions and instructions about how to access the apartment and the FREE parking space were clear and concise. Central location and superb views.

United KingdomThe access to the property was a little steep and vehicular access was difficult but giving the location it’s understandable!! Still, easy to overlook due to its fantastic location and the allocated parking space was a great bonus for which we was very grateful!
Loved the location! The apartment was cosy, clean and perfectly suited for our needs during our stay. Also the host Donna was very friendly and easy to get hold of if needed. Very happy with the service!

United Kingdoma seagull has nested on the roof of the property in front, it was a right noisy bugger when we sat on the balcony. part and parcel of the location though as can’t be in the heart of looe and not expect to have seagulls on your lap every time you try and eat.
fantastic location, right in the heart of east looe! roomy and nicely furnished.

United KingdomLooe with a View is an immaculate flat right in the centre of Looe with fantastic views. We spent three days there over Christmas and Donna did so much to make it a wonderful stay - from the Christmas tree and decorations to thoughtful touches like leaving ice in the freezer compartment. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was really comfortable. Looe is a such a lovely place to visit. We ate at the Fish Market and it was incredible - highly recommended. All in all a fab trip and we would definitely love to come back again.

United KingdomFor our group there was nothing that couldve been improved,only comments from our group made was that it would be awkward with a pushchair but he still asked me for the booking details and the parking was the other side of the river so if it was raining it was a bit of a walk
The accommodation far exceeded our expectations,it was clean modern and the facilities and lay out were very nice ,we normally stay in a local b and b but this was much better for our group as we were all together and it was perfectly located for us as we had access to the town,takeaway facilities,shops and the harbour it was also cheaper for us as a group of 4,we will certainly be staying here again 😀

Super chic apartment right in the centre of Looe. Immaculately presented with a fabulous balcony on which to catch the afternoon and evening sun. A real oasis of calm slap bang in the middle of everything that the beautiful setting of Looe has to offer. Realy lovely.

United KingdomTo start, the outside metal steps, which felt precarious when wet. Had to move furniture in the bedroom to be able to get to the side which was under the eaves. Cheap double bed mattress, cut our stay short as it was exceptionally uncomfortable. TV in the living room too small for the distance to watch from the sofa. Scaffolding erected long before we attended the location and not informed by the host. The scaffolding blocked ‘the view of Looe’ with a workman’s platform at the same height as the balcony. We spoke to the owner about this and all that was offered was a possible discount if we booked again, which after this experience will definitely not happen. Bedroom window handles broken so they couldn’t be closed and finally, felt like the apartment had not been cleaned properly, as an example of this, we moved the decorative crab from the mats on the table to use and the shape of the crab was there in the dust.
Spacious apartment

United KingdomIt was a bit of a hike up from the village to the apartment and apartment could have been cleaner when we arrived.
We had a lovely few days in your apartment “Looe with a View”, its location made for a great base to explore the area and we were fortunate with the mainly sunny weather so we could get out for some lovely walks. Looe is a lovely village and unlike some villages in the area, most of the restaurants and cafes were open in February. Our host, Donna, was lovely and helpful in during the whole booking process and stay.
