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.).

AustraliaIt’s in a stunning location Carbis Bay not far from St Ives, walk to the end of the street & their are buses that take you into St Ives in 5 mins. The room was small but the bed very comfortable & spacious bathroom. The breakfast was delicious & plenty of choice. The host’s are very friendly & suggested lots of attractions to visit in the area. I recommend this B & B when visiting Cornwall.

United KingdomI honestly cannot think of anything that the hosts could do to improve the Lamorna short of putting it right on the beach lol.
Arrived tired after a non stop 4 hour drive from Wales and was met by our smiling host Joanne who served us tea,coffee and biscuits. We are a well travelled couple who have stayed at some nice places around the world and the Lamorna is right up there with them. The Lamorna was very homely, clean and nothing was to much trouble, and when I return to St Ives next year this will be my base, oh and by the way the full English breakfast is to die for.

United KingdomLeaving. There was nothing not to like - other than when other people find out about this amazing property and it becomes difficult to book! Again, we were travelling home by coach. After checking out, we were asked if we wanted to leave our bags at the property so that we could go out and enjoy our last day. We returned in the afternoon as we didn't want to be a burden after having such a lovely stay, Joanne asked us what time our coach was then asked why we were back so soon before our departure and insisted we left them a little longer so we were not carrying them around. The hosts are so genuine, accommodating and such lovely people. Anyone that has something not to like needs to ask themselves what was wrong.
Where do I start ? Even before we arrived Richard and Joanne met needs we didn't even know that we had. We travelled by coach and arrived quite some time prior to check in, they couldn't have been more welcoming. They allowed us to leave our bags at the property so that we didn't have to carry them round with us until check in time, greeted us with a drink of our choice and even offered us breakfast. Through out the whole stay we were made to feel nothing short of welcome and at home. The pride and professionalism of them both was phenomenal. We we're given recommendations of places to visit and places to eat, the food served to us for breakfast was home cooked and thoroughly enjoyable with an extensive choice. I would recommend Lamorna Lodge to everyone looking to escape the city and relax. I was lost for words on the hospitality, none invasive host, and how aphetically beautiful the property was - the images on here do it no justice.

This guest house also does afternoon tea and has a lounge with a bar, which is a self serve honesty bar.. At the end of our stay I also purchased a couple of jars of Joanne's homemade marmalade.. lovely place to stay and I can't thank Joanne enough for making our stay a pleasure..she is very friendly and made time for all her guests. I would also like to thank Richard for our lovely cooked breakfast and porridge.. we didn't get to meet Richard as he was in the kitchen and busy afterwards.. I'm sure he's also a lovely chap as he's from Yorkshire.. We will definitely stay again at Lamorna Lodge.
