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.).

AustraliaParking. It’s a thing in Cornwall generally… but it was difficult. The garage was full… I think the hotel could alert patrons.
Great location, I really enjoyed the shared spaces to lounge informally. Breakfast was great too.

United KingdomThe heating wasn't always on when I thought that it should be and I was a little cold. The ensuite was a little dated and just in general the decor could do with a freshening up.
The location is excellent, just across from a beautiful beach and a short walk to the centre of St. Ives. The lounge area was a nice place to sit and look out from. My room was quiet and the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe decor was very tired, could do with a brightening up. I was a single traveller so I had a small room/bed which is fine but it was very dark and gloomy, my view was of the parking garage at the back of the hotel which isn't great.
Location was spot on, staff were very friendly and helpful. If I stayed again I would pay extra for a better room and view

United KingdomWe were given a room that was damp, and the carpet was wet and smelled horrible with stains on the carpet. The duvet and pillows smelt damp, and the bedding wasn't changed upon service request. It was only made. Walls were also wet. We stayed in the room the Friday and Saturday as it was late, and we complained on the Sunday morning and were given a bigger room with a bay view which was much better and saved our trip to an extent. Unfortunately, it was our final night, so we didn't get to enjoy it that much. We do wish we had been offered a bit more from the manager, like a breakfast or dinner to make up for the awful conditions, but they didn't. Maybe think about doing that in the future? With money tight, it was a bargain, and I booked it but feel I was given a damp room on purpose as a reflection of the price! A trip to give my girlfriend a break after losing her father in February. We aren't people that like to kick up a stink, but we did feel we could have been offered a partial refund or something along those lines as the room was clearly extremely damp on our arrival that night, so we do feel this would of been known anyway and the staff should of cared more, and put us in a nicer room that was dry. But clearly didn't report it.
The location is the best ever very close to the beach, restaurant area also very good with view.

United KingdomI booked under the impression that the room would overlook the bay, which it did not, and the staff was either unwilling or unable to move us to a different room. There is off street parking, but it's dirty and your vehicle gets covered in pigeon droppings. Also, if someone parks incorrectly, you get blocked in, or are unable to park. If you want food there, make sure you book ahead.
Convenient to downtown. Close to the harbour, but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
