Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThis suite of rooms was fabulous. A roomy bathroom with a large shower, two extremely comfortable bedrooms and a welcome pack of basic necessities that were good quality. The kitchenette was workable and Liz stocked the fridge with butter, milk, jams and several chocolatey goodies (which my husband devoured!!) A great base from which to explore the southern part of Cornwall. Liz was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We ate breakfast outside so did not need to use the table inside. It is a quirky suite … but very a luxurious set of rooms.

United KingdomThere is nothing that we didn’t like.
We are just about to leave this charming Annexe having stayed for 5 days. The owner Liz went above and beyond expectations to makes us feel welcome and comfortable! The Annexe is gorgeously done and our 13 years old girl loved her room! We also were very pleasantly surprised by all the extra goodies Liz very kindly left for us - more than enough for breakfast and snacks! Even our dog had his own fluffy blanket! Everything was perfect! Highly recommend and we are definitely planning to return again next summer! Thank you Liz for your generosity and hospitality!

United KingdomThe “continental breakfast” rather glamourises the offer and visitors with mobility issues need to be aware that access to the shower over the bath, may be tricky. I’ll say again though, you really can’t argue based on the price.
We didn’t struggle to find the property as Liz sent very clear instructions. We were upgraded to the Piggery, which is a 2 bedroom detached cottage. It has enough space make your home so was very comfortable and a good base from where to explore Cornwall. We had a few welcome treats left by Liz who checked in from her holiday to make sure we were OK. Extraordinary value for money

United KingdomEverything was perfect I did not dislike anything
Arrived at property and was greeted by the owner , she was so friendly she showed us around the property it was beautiful very clean and the decor was amazing it was very quiet and also had a lovely garden. Oh and the beds so comfy you could spend all day in them, Liz had left us a welcome basket with all the essentials you need there a lovely views out the back and a parking space with is undercover, I wished we had booked a week it was like home from home but even better it was a magical weekend would definitely book again. Believe me when I say the picture on line does not do it justice its perfect in every way if you want a relaxing quiet time away. Lots of places to visit nearby shops are close and a lovely pub with restaurant that does amazing food Definitely the best weekend I have ever had and would recommend to everyone I know, I can't praise it enough.

This cottage was very beautiful, it was in a very good quiet location. we were upgraded due to the kindness of Liz the owner. we slept very well because of the quality beds. Liz left a very thoughtful welcome pack with some very useful items in. The cottage was very good value for the luxury you get, much better value than a lot of rentals. We enjoyed our stay although we were there for a funeral, it was very relaxing to stay in the cottage. we look forward to staying there again in the future.

United Kingdom1) Shower was slow to heat up the water - not much of an issue in the summer. 2) Direction to the cottage is a bit confusing for the first time as the signboard is small but we managed as it was still daylight when we arrived. I think we would have struggled had it been at night.
I booked the Annexe but the lovely host upgraded us to the Piggery cottage which was superb! The cottage was spacious, very clean, well equipped, warm and cozy. It has 2 bedrooms (beds were very comfortable & lush), beautiful and modern bathroom, well equipped kitchen and lovely living & dining area. The host also provided breakfast items such as milk, bread, fresh eggs, fruits, cereals, salt, pepper, etc. It has a good size garden at the back and a big parking area at the front. It's pet friendly too. I would definitely book again in the future. Many thanks, Liz!

United KingdomUnable to put heating on as we were cold after first day out and unfortunately no hot water either. It was late so didn't want to disturb Liz. However, when we did message Liz in morning it was dealt with promptly so a nice hot bath was enjoyed by all the following night.
Liz was kind enough to offer us the cottage next door as it was available. So this review is based on the cottage and not the Annexe. The cottage was immaculately clean and the beds exceptionally comfortable. Little touches like flowers and snacks were nice. Breakfast was a basket filled with fruit, bread and eggs from her own chickens and a choice of cereals was also offered, and butter and jams left in the fridge. So much thought had gone into making it nice and the decor was lovely.

Liz was an excellent host, super friendly and has thought of everything to ensure a comfy stay. The decor and soft furnishings in the property have been so tastefully completed, Liz clearly has put a lot of thought and effort into this. We actually ended up staying in Paddock View next door as it was available so I can’t really compare the 2 however Im sure other than the size the comfort and extra touches would be equally as good. The breakfast was lovely fresh bread, jams, marmalade, couple cereal options and some fresh eggs.
