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 music on Friday evening was APPALLINGLY loud. It was uncomfortable up in our room. There is no value in amplifying live music to this extent. And there didn't seem to be any encouragement for visitors to keep the volume down; there seemed to be zero concern for the comfort of people who might want or need to sleep before midnight. There was a raucous group chatting and laughing loudly / screaming beyond midnight. It would have been reasonable for staff to ask them to be quieter at this time of night.
breakfast excellent rooms were gloriously clean and comfortable staff very friendly check-in and -out very smooth view from the dining area was spectacular

United KingdomThis is not to do with the pub but parking is an issue. This is right in the heart of Fowey and. There is a car park next to the pub but it’s small and I suspect gets very busy, max 2 hr stay. About half a mile away on the road out of Fowey by the Bodinnick ferry there is a long stay carpark which is much cheaper.
First of all, this is based on an out of season (March) visit. The accommodation section is separate from the pub and is modern and really clean. It really is very good. There are two flights of stairs to get to the top rooms. Our room was lovely, small but with everything you need and very clean and new looking. I wish we had booked a river view but that was our mistake. The view is superb. The pub is right on the edge of the water. The food in the pub was “pub food” but really good pub food and the breakfast was lovely. All in all we really enjoyed the Galleon

The rooms are very modern and stylish. The rooms with a view look right over the sea. The hotel is right in the middle of Fowey so you can walk to the pubs and restaurants. The breakfast is always good and freshly cooked. Great view for breakfast and Nikki is a great asset to the hotel. Very friendly and super knowledgeable on the history of Fowey.
