How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Really friendly welcome and a free upgrade to a sea view room which was such a nice surprise. Room was clean and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge. Very comfy bed we both slept very well. Owners are very friendly and helped with restaurant recommendations and let us use a bottle opener for our wine. Breakfast choice was great and the full English a very good standard. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Newquay. Thankyou so much!

We were offered a complementary room upgrade and as a result had a room which was excellent in all respects - pristine, light and airy, well appointed and with a great view down to the sea. Location was good and close to several eateries, and parking was straightforward. Good breakfast with comprehensive choice. All the staff were pleasant and helpful.

Primarily the hosts, Margaret & Owen were great, nothing too much trouble. They accommodated us with early check in and upgraded us to spacious family room. Sumptuous breakfast options - Natalia was very welcoming and attentive to all guests esp during breakfast. It is worth booking a sea view room as view over the coast is beautiful. Our room was so clean and beds comfy. Accommodation is located a minute off Main Street and 5min walk to bus station. As stated by hotel we knew parking is limited but parking at Manor St Car Park is only 3mins and 6pm till 9am is only £2.10!! Cheap daily/hourly rate too. Overall if visiting Newquay we highly recommend staying at OYO Minerva.

One of our windows looked to walls and the other was coverd with a window film so we couldn't even look out. It was a bit depressing though we didn't spend much time in the room.
The staff was kind, the place was clean and well-maintained. We were lucky to find a parking place in front of the hotel.

I had a lovely room with a balcony. It was spotless, well decorated and with a really decent shower. Nice additional touches like a small fridge was very welcome. Great location, hot, freshly cooked breakfast and lovely hosts.
