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 KingdomThe weather , very windy and wet but we had a great day at lands end where it was a bit dryer.
Comfortable, very clean accommodation with everything you could need on hand. Hosts thought of everything from the ironing board to the free shortbread biscuits. Handy folder left in room with all the information for an enjoyable stay in st ives. The outside space and seats were a welcome extra in a secluded space with own entrance. The shower was wonderful in the bathroom and the bed is very comfortable. Izzy is a wonderful host allowing you privacy but there if you need anything .I would highly recommend staying here for a short break .

United KingdomThe weather was not good enough to enjoy the lovely outdoor area.
The Stylish Coastal Retreat was perfect for our one night stay. The directions and check-in info were spot on, and we found it with no trouble at all. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had everything as described online. The extra treats left for us to enjoy only added to our delight. The shower room was one of the best that we had encountered. We will have no hesitation in booking again next time we require somewhere to stay in that area.

New ZealandEssentially you are staying in a luxury cabin in a suburban back yard. I don’t mean that negatively because it’s ideal if you need car parking. However you definitely need a car to stay here. The plus is that the train is just down the road and it’s a 5 minute trip to St Ives - where car parking is very difficult if not impossible.
This is a great place to stay. It’s not large but spacious enough and every last thing is provided. It’s very clean and very comfortable. Great bed, lovely linen and pillows. You have your own private courtyard to sit outside in the sun.

United KingdomI honestly do not have a bad word to say against this place, Izzy and her family should be very proud!
It's was a very cute little apartment, perfect for what we needed. All the facilities that you need with the location of dreams, 2 minute walk down to the beach, shops/cafes/restaurants also 2 minutes away. Train station to visit other surrounding towns also a couple minutes down the road!

United KingdomWifi could be a little bit iffy for some streaming sites - but on the whole good.
This place is very conveniently located, 10 mins walk to the beach and 5-10 mins walk to the station to get to St.Ives or a 10 min drive. Ideal for a solo traveler or a couple looking for a bit less hustle and bustle of the main St Ives town. Available and safe parking outside the property for peace of mind. Modern and clean furnishings, charming patio area outside. Izzy the host is welcoming and attentive for an all round comfortable and enjoyable stay.

A fantastic stay in a lovely place. Issy was very welcoming and gave us all the information we could possibly need to enjoy the local area, from great restaurants to the location of the train station to carbis bay. The private patio was a great little space to enjoy a book and a glass of wine, which gave the garden room an added relaxing element . The mini fridge had a variety of local beverages and Izzy offered to accommodate milk requirements. Off street parking was also ideal.
