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 KingdomIt’s a bit of a challenge to locate it. Sat Nav takes you into a cul de sac. Ignore that and take the adjacent turn down a very tight lane.. turn left at the bridge then left again under another bridge. Bear right and there are car parking spaces on the left.
Lovely family run business. Excellent rooms, excellent breakfast and homemade shortbread and cake on the table every afternoon.

United StatesNavigating the steep and narrow driveway was the only slightly negative experience, but well worth the effort.
My wife and I stayed at several B & B’s when on Holiday. This was our favorite. The host was friendly and helpful with suggestions on where to eat and activities. Room was clean and comfortable. The view from the room was amazing and is now the image on my phones Home Screen. Breakfast looked beautiful and tasted even better.

United KingdomThe only slight issue and this isn't with the hotel but a sign indicating the road would be useful. We know the area fairly well so wasn't an issue but could be for some people.
The breakfast was great. The location of the hotel is ideal to get around the town. The room we had was great, lovely and clean with a very comfortable bed.

United KingdomThe room was spacious, clean and the attention to detail was impeccable throughout the whole building, the room and the main reception/dining room. The furniture is beautiful! Only a stones throw from Porthminster beach which is truly stunning and the clearest sea! And only a 5-10 minute walk into the main part of St Ives. We really enjoyed staying here. Lovely breakfast and greeted with very friendly staff. One of the best places we have stayed in Cornwall (and we have stayed in lots of airbnbs and booking.com properties!) Very good value for money.
