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 KingdomThere was nothing to improve on
The location was central to all the places we wanted to visit. The room was stunning and the continental breakfast was different every day. It was our wedding anniversary whilst we were there and Kelly gave us a card , a bottle of lager and a bottle of champagne. They have 2 dogs and 3 cats and every member of the family was so friendly. Would definitely recommend

AustraliaEverything was great. Delabole itself doesn't offer a great deal and you definitely need your own transport.
Extremely clean and furnished with care and love. Very comfortable and homely. Kelly was very welcoming and helpful - even offered to pick us up some fish and chips. Even the pets are friendly. Generous continental.breakfast and fruit were provided fresh each day . Well located for short drives to Tintagel Castle, Port Isaac and Bocastle and not too far to visit Clovelly.

Perfect little place! So many cute little touches and clever use of space. Location is great and close to many beaches and tourist attractions of Cornwall. Kelly is such a lovely host. Nothing is too much trouble and shes so kind and helpful….it’s like visiting a friend! She also has the cutest furry friends which (to me) is an added bonus! 🐾🫶🏻

United KingdomWonderful place to stay, Kelly has thought of everything and was a superb host. The tray of continental breakfast was enough to keep us going til lunchtime. The Sapling was comfortable and very welcoming and would go and stay again. On short drives there were places to eat in the evening, Kelly was very helpful in recommending where to go.

AustraliaKelly's passion for running a B&B is evident and her nature to please her guests is foremost in her mind. Nothing was too much for her or her husband Albert when it came to asking for advice about where to go or where to eat (they even helped fix a travel item). Their genuine friendliness made our stay so much more enjoyable and the daily, fresh breakfast was much appreciated. We also loved our daily afternoon catch-ups with them. Definitely recommend The Sapling as a place to relax and recharge. You guys won't be forgotten!

Fabulous accommodation in a small hamlet deep in the north Cornish countryside, but within easy reach of all the local highlights. Good pubs and cafe within a couple of miles. Kelly is a wonderful host who goes the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect and give advice on where to go and what to do. Highly recommended.

AustraliaExceptionally friendly and helpful owners who made us feel very welcome. Kelly was lovely to chat to and has decorated the bedroom with style. She's utilised the space well to accommodate a small fridge and tea/ coffee making area. The outside patio area was wonderful to relax in the evenings as the weather was amazing. The dogs and cats are also super friendly, and the area outside the house is green and peaceful. It's away from the crowded tourist spots but within easy travelling distance. We had a fantastic time in the area.
