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 KingdomLong uphill trek from the beach or St Ives with no buses in the evening at the time of visit. Complicated lighting controls in the room.
Lovely room. Excellent restaurant. St Ives and Carbis Bay are unbeatable holiday destinations. Easy car access and parking.

United KingdomParticular to our room perhaps but our room "Fern" had no view except stairwell and hairdressers smoking. It was last room available and interior was superb but should have warned about lack of any view at all and perhaps do something about smoking in the outside but enclosed stairwell?
Service by all staff was excellent, polite and friendly..

United KingdomWe stayed at The Gannet Inn over New years and loved every second of our stay. From the minute we walked in, we were completely blown away. Our room was amazing, the breakfast was incredible and we were surprised to find out that we had access to the Spa's pool included in our stay. The staff were so accommodating and everything was perfect. We will definitely be back!

What can I say. Lots of parking which is always a bonus. The receptionist on arrival gave me such an exceptional warm welcome and was the most friendliest soul ever. We are locals whom were staying to attend a 40th within the area. Once checked in, I was handed my key to “The Gannet” room. Which to my surprise, I was made aware that I had been upgraded, a real treat to us to not only stay at a beautiful hotel but to get a glimpse of our beautiful coast from our window so thank you. The bedroom was immaculate, thoroughly cleaned to a high standard. A supply of teas, coffees, hot chocolates and herbal teas provided with some homemade shortbread - which was delicious can I add. The bed was really comfortable, very warm, spacious and cosy, just what we needed. The bathroom filled with bathroom essentials perfect for those who forget to bring. The shower is like a walk into paradise. A real good way to shake off the weekday of hell and ready for the weekend ahead. I was rather relaxed! The BIG bonus is the four hours use of The Carbis Bay Spa. After a fun filled evening the night before, our delicate souls needed to relax, unwind and recuperate so a brilliant finishing touch to our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel as a getaway, as a quick stop over or as a long vacation to other couples. 10/10 all in all! ✨

United KingdomIt was all absolutely excellent. Our room was an oasis when we wanted some privacy and the rest of the Inns accommodation was nicely furnished. The restaurant was nicely appointed and the food was very good. The summit of the experience was the staff who without exception were cheerful, polite , helpful and professional. Recommended
