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.).

We are two friends walking the south west coastal path, and booked into a family room. Pleased to find on arrival that it was two separate decent sized rooms with shared separate bathroom. Clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

The family room was cosy and well decorated. Also the pub/restaurant as well as the village are definitely worth a visit! The hosts have been highly friendly and helpful.

United KingdomI need a gluten -free diet, this wasn't a problem for the highly flexible kitchen staff. The cooked breakfasts were great but if I had to comment then a little more GF choice for the evening meal would have tipped my personal overall rating from good into excellent though I must say that there was more than enough choice for my non-GF partner and the fayre was excellent.
Friendliness is the key, a warm welcome and a superb feeling of cosiness. It's a small establishment, it's straight out of central - casting for a Cornish harbourside inn and it's spotless and staffed by genuine people who are clearly well-liked and local lynchpins. For us the pet friendly tag was a great attraction and we simply had no problems; we particularly rated the enclosed beer garden as a safe place for our dog and it is a great asset even in January! It's in a magnificent location and within 200m of the cliff path and harbour slipways and sits in the Portloe micro-climate bubble.

United KingdomDinner could have been more imaginative but lunch and breakfast were great.
Beautiful Cornish fishing village, hollowed out by second homers to the extent that only 83 people live there now. Pub was much better place to stay than the expensive and impersonal Lugger. Great breakfast, really comfortable bed and a good shower.

We had a very pleasant stay in the Ship Inn. The staff were very friendly and the evening meal we had was tasty. The Inn is really well located near the small harbour and very close to the South West Coastal Path
