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 property is on a hill, 3min steep walk but manageable if you take time
Last minute booking, it is very spacious. Walking distance to the beach (5min) and city (10min). No buffet breakfast/ dine in breakfast due to pandemic but they have good warm breakfast you can pre order which comes with fruits, muffin, juice.

United KingdomDifficult to find anything but I would say that a larger fridge is preferred. Large enough to hold a bottle or two of white wine.
Breakfast was excellent even though it was taken in the room due to Covid. Good choices and well cooked. Amy was very good at answering any requests we had. View from the room over Porthmeor beach was fabulous as was the guest garden area. Location nice and quiet yet just a short stroll from the centre. Bed was very comfortable and shower room was very spacious. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

What a lovely stay. The location is spot on being close enough to walk to the beach or to the town centre. The rooms are light and airy and the view from our room was awesome (over Porthmeor beach). Lovely breakfasts too. Fabulous all round.

United KingdomThe only thing I’d note which isn’t really a negative but to get to the beach there is a huge hill which some may struggle with!
Perfect location with a stunning view. We had a great breakfast every morning. Hosts were very responsive. The coffee machine and little fridge in the room were lovely touches.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at Ten Ocean Beach! Amy & Toby we’re so welcoming and helpful.. The room was very comfortable and had everything you need. Tea, coffee, decent hair dryer, iron and ironing board etc. Amy would knock and leave the breakfast outside our room around 8:30. It was nice to have breakfast in bed everyday! We didn’t have the sea view room however as soon as you step out the front door you can see the beach. We used the garden a couple of times for a couple of drinks before we went out with a gorgeous view of the beach & sunset. The beach is about a 5 minute walk and it was the nicest beach! We walked into the town and back every night for dinner & drinks which is about a 10 minute walk. There is a short steep hill to get back to the accommodation but it literally takes 2 minutes. This was a lovely accommodation and I will definitely will be returning to Ten Ocean Beach :)

United KingdomNothing. We knew that there was a steep hill up to the property and yes that was a bit tiring if we did it a few times a day, but the view from the property made it worth it.
The sea view room was exceptional- lovely and comfortable with an amazing view. Everywhere was very clean. The Covid protection arrangements were also excellent. We could order breakfast to our room each morning and if we required anything replenishing in the room, a text to the owner meant the request was quickly dealt with. Amy was really helpful with anything we asked for. In fact, I would say I prefer this way of doing things as it was very relaxing not to have to go down for breakfast and I also liked that there wasn’t someone in and out of your room for housekeeping. So you could just settle in and relax!

United KingdomI can't fault anything with our stay at Ten Ocean View. Our room was spotlessly clean, with everything we needed and a great size bathroom with lovely shower. The breakfast delivered to the room each day was super fresh and actually too much for us with juice, a fruit pot, a mini muffin and then our choice of breakfast (can highly recommend the Cornish cheese omelette). Bonus having the Tassimo coffee machine in the room, as well as a kettle, and Amy was very generous with my requisitions for more coffee pods (I do get through them!). Amy is a great host, always very responsive on text, checking everything was ok, checking up when we needed clean towels, and even making us bagels to take with us on our early morning drive the day we left. The location of the guesthouse couldn't be better, it's lovely and quiet and a very short walk into town, either by the sea or by road. We would definitely stay here again :)

United KingdomThe breakfast could have been better, perhaps a couple of cooked breakfast options as there is only smoked salmon for meat/fish eaters. No housekeeping currently due to Covid restrictions although, for the price paid we were expecting there to be similar to other places stayed on our trip.
Amy and Toby made our anniversary extra special with balloons and roses; very unexpected and a wonderful surprise. The view is truly breathtaking, and was great to have breakfast delivered to our door every morning so we could enjoy it properly. The place was spotless, the shower was fab, and the coffee machine an added bonus!
