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 KingdomAs a traveller on foot the location of The Nook isn't ideal as it is a little way out of the centre up a steep hill. For travellers with a car it wouldn't be a problem, and there is (limited) parking.
I had a large, light room with a good ensuite and comfortable bed. I liked having a communal kitchen providing a place to eat, and with a washing machine!

United KingdomThe property in St. Ives is simply stunning. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by its charm and beauty. Plus, having all the facilities available made our stay even more enjoyable. It's definitely a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and beautiful stay in St. Ives! 😍🌟

United KingdomShame the location is on the edge of an estate. Our view was the back of houses with untidy gardens. But there is nothing they can do about that and they have made the property very comfortable.
A well maintained clean and comfortable room. 10- 15 minute walk into town. Keyless entry is a great idea. Good value and parking is handy.

United KingdomThe walk out of St. Ives to The Nook is all uphill so just be prepared for that - don't let it put you off though :)
The room we had was very comfortable with a large bed and private shower. The communication from the staff before & during check in was great and very helpful. We didn't realise before checking in that that there's a fully equipped kitchen which meant that we cooked a few meals for ourselves instead of eating out. The location was good, about 5-10 minutes walk from town - don't miss St. Eia for wine and food and Milieu for art. For the price paid, I can't imagine anywhere better in St. Ives - we'll definitely be back.

United KingdomWARNING! Careful when checking out and taking your bags down to the car if close to 11 o'clock as once that door shuts after 11 you cannot get back in. The code changes immediately. Not helping was that auto door return was on a rather aggressive setting and slammed into my partner as she was leaving a couple of times including the very last time. Luckily she had done a sweep of the room before walking out.
The shared kitchen although unusual was a nice way to meet other people.

United KingdomNo room service except 1 week staying. No human people readily available in case of an emergency like I got locked out and waited for many minutes, thankfully the cleaner came and helped me,
Efficient check in. However no one readily available if you’re locked out - answered after many minutes. Great kitchen facilities and communal garden. Perfect for long haul stays where you’d want to cook and chill.

In the details it says you have Free toiletries Shower Washing machine Toilet Towels Linen Seating Area Internet facilities Refrigerator Ironing facilities Tea/Coffee maker Microwave Heating Hairdryer Kitchenware Electric kettle Oven Stovetop Toaster Clothes rack Toilet paper........I was very surprised to see other guests sharing one kitchen. I wanted to heat some milk but ended up with bacon fat in it as the other guests were frying whole lotta bacon and sausages and the fat kept flying everywhere. They need to metion that the kitchen is shared by other guests. ( unfortunately, some not very friendly)
