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 KingdomWorth being aware that it’s a quiet location up the hill from St Ives! But easy to get to by hourly bus, cheap taxi or a 30-min walk, and I appreciated the peace.
Immaculately clean, fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable homely stay. Loads of cushions, blankets, cookware, storage – so many lovely touches. Well-arranged and good-sized studio. Perfect stay.

United KingdomThe place was lovely and clean, there was everything we needed, we had been left a small bottle of bubbly and two bottles of water in the fridge, which was a lovely welcoming touch. The location was brilliant for St Ives, we had a parking space and the local pub was an easy stroll from our accommodation.

United KingdomWe're so glad we found this studio to book. It was modern, clean, we had everything we needed for our holiday. The free parking by the door is a big bonus staying in St. Ives where parking is normally a trouble. Very good value for money, would recommend to everyone and would come back myself when in area. The location is perfect to reach the main touristic areas around.

United KingdomTo enter anything here I am just nitpicking because everything was so lovely. But, the shower head was put rather high up the wall which made the water flow rather weak by the time it got to us (we are only 5ft 4in). The property is on the side of the road in a small rural village so the bus route goes past the property which was a little bit noisy in the evening but not enough to complain about as it was not too constant and if you are taking your dog be careful to keep them on a lead until off the road as there are no pavements to walk and the holiday camp opposite does have traffic coming out in the morning and later in the day, but again not really a problem, just be aware if you have an over enthusiastic pet!
The first impression was the lovely clean smell as we walked into the property. Access was really easy and we entered via a key left in a key code box. Everything in the property was clean and of really good quality. The bonus welcome pack and doggie basket with blankets was a lovely gesture. Everything worked properly and was very comfortable. The shower room was immaculate and the owners had thought of everything including handwash, toilet rolls, washing up liquid, tea towels and bath towels. Nothing was left out and it had all been thought through to make our holiday relaxing and easy. The property is 1.5 miles outside St. Ives and just opposite the road and down a bit there was a lovely holiday camp which was quiet, clean and make a lovely evening walk as well as being the local bus stop for the bus into town. There were lovely views over the countryside which made for a lovely evening walk with our dog. I would recommend getting the bus into Str Ives as parking can be a nightmare when you get into the town and the bus is really cheap and regular. I would definitely stay again, we bumped into the owners as we were leaving and they were such lovely people, nothing was too much trouble.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing - this is a fantastic base from which to explore and venture out in to the wonderful Cornish countryside, beaches, and local attractions. If you do have a car, but want to stretch a bit whilst visiting, why not take some cycles down with you. The views will certainly be worth the effort.
I first visited the location in September 2022 and wrote that the property had everything you could possiby need. That was exactly the same this time around, and the property owners had even made available a number of brochures with information for the season (something I commented upon in my earlier review) - kudos for reading and responding. This time around I had an opportunity to speak to the owners of the property, and they really are warm-hearted and welcoming - and clearly care about the people who stay. If you do want a quiet private break away from it all, have a car, and want to explore this part of Cornwall I really can't recommend this highly enough.
