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 KingdomThe spa was closed for refurbishment, I'm sure it'll be worth it next time we come, and we will be staying again.
What an incredible experience this stay was. The staff were phenomenal and the gearing around families is perfect - so many thoughtful little touches that turn a holiday into an unforgettable set of memories. The named placeholder for the kids at dinner, children's seats and cutlery, stories with milk and cookies, rabbit petting, free buckets, crabbing lines and bait, den sessions, so many more than I can mention.

United KingdomService at breakfast first day was very flaky- we had to call someone over as they did not come to take order. Coffee was really awful (we were offered a pot) so we had to re order individual cups. Hotel wines were hugely expensive- there always should be a reasonably priced “house” wine available. Bed was a big but a bit soft for our taste.
Stunning location/ our superior room had sea view. Outdoor pool was spotless and perfect temperature. Bathroom was excellent.

United KingdomIt was quite busy so there were fairly long waits for food at breakfast but what you got was top notch.
The rooms for families were great. It meant we could all be together. It was raining but they organised lots of things for the kids to do. The indoor pool was a god send and had a beautiful view over the estuary.

United KingdomThere was a fire alarm that went of at 4am and no apology or explanation or gesture of good will. I know these things happen but there was no fire and seemed like a system error. Would have been good to be told in morning. Other feedback we had was addressed very well by the manager.
Beautiful location easy to walk into Fowey. Super dog friendly. Lovely staff. Kind and caring vibe the whole place.

We've had a wonderful 2 night stay at Fowey Hall. The hotel was beautiful, the facilities were great. The outside of the hotel, the views and the grounds were stunning. There was so much to do. We liked the games in the lobby and we managed to get a nice swim in the pool. It was nice and warm and not busy at all on Saturday evening. We also liked the playground for the kids and had a nice walk in the area. All the staff were very welcoming and lovely to all of us. We're celebrating mine and my son's birthday and at the dinner, he got surprised with a cake and Happy Birthday writing on the plate. It was so kind and made him very happy(along with his Sundae). The food in the restaurant and the breakfast were very good. Very nice choice of breakfast to order and buffet style cereals, pastries, yoghurts, etc, were available too. The room was so lovely. We loved the freestanding bath. The room, particularly the bed, was very comfy. We've had everything we needed. The coffee and tea making facilities, the shortbread biscuits and the robes were a nice touch. We've had a free upgrade to a partial view room, we really appreciate the lovely gesture. The kids asked if we can live here and said this was the best hotel ever. We'd definitely return. Such a lovely place to stay. Thank you for having us and for everything.

United KingdomThe one, small downside was the dinner menu which was the same for the 3 nights of our stay. I understand though that a new chef has just been appointed and new directions are planned in response to previous, similar feedback.
A great hotel, beautifully appointed with wonderful facilities and extremely friendly and helpful staff - when was the last time you were shown to your room when you arrived at a hotel? Very relaxed atmosphere with older couples like ourselves mingling with young families. We visited in term time, so it was not as busy as it probably gets in the school holidays, but you feel the staff would cope whatever came their way.

United KingdomMy only (small) criticism was the small portion sizes (fish and chips) and slower service when eating at the hotel restaurant for dinner.
We were extremely lucky as we were upgraded to a new part of the hotel with a partial sea view room which was beautiful. The hotel provided a much needed opportunity to relax after a full year of being parents. The staff made every effort to make us feel at home, and to make our son feel special. From hand written name cards at dinner, free breakfasts, baby sitting, bottle cleaning, colouring books, bugaboo high chairs and cots, to story time before bed - I couldn’t recommend the hotel for a family enough! My expectations before going away was to have a change of scenery, the reality was an opportunity to completely switch off and to make parenting on holiday as easy as possible. I didn’t know how much we needed the break. Thank you so much

United KingdomThe room was big , beautifully designed and clean. Loved the added extras , shortbread etc and especially the fresh milk in little bottle in room fridge. My 11 year old son loved the games room with table tennis and pool table. Also watched movie together in the cinema room. Complimentary popcorn went down a treat. So many great added touches that we noticed throughout our stay. Not always being able to rely on the weather this hotel gives you plenty to do and keep the whole family occupied on a wet day. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay.
