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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomWe loved everything. Really could not find a fault with anything there.
Everything. Friendly owners, immaculately clean rooms, always hot water, relaxed atmosphere. We had the twin room with separate bathroom and that was fine, lovely robe to wear if needed to walk across landing.

United KingdomWould have liked a cereals option for breakfast especially on days when not wanting a cooked one. Personal preference would have been for a firmer mattress. No other negatives.
Location was fine for exploring that part of the Lizard. Bedroom and ensuite were good size, spotlessly clean, fresh and bright. Cooked breakfasts were very good. The hosts were a pleasure to meet.

United KingdomIt was perfect
Nothing was too much trouble at this lovely B&B. Attention to detail to make your stay perfect was totally achieved, large white fluffy towels, plenty of hot water, good quality biscuits in bedroom at all times with tea and coffee, bottles of water and excellent freshly cooked to order breakfasts which were beautifully presented. In a nutshell, we will be returning. In a delightful small village with two pubs, lovely church, picturesque cottages and a fabulous restaurant

United KingdomThe only small negative was that deliveries to the Spa in the squarea re noisy quite early in the morning BUT having said that, it's offset with the fact there is a local shop, and when you stay in a village centre, you have to expect some noise, so this is just to inform people so they are aware. It didn't bother us.
Location was excellent for visiting so many places in the area, and it was easy to find. We never had any problem parking in the free parking are directly outside the property in the village square. The breakfasts were great!!!

United KingdomWe were unsure that we would be able to have breakfast on the first morning of our stay as the time it was due to be served was a little too late for us. However, Kevin and Clare did accommodate us so all good in the end.
We had stayed in the self catering cottage some years back so were familiar with the OTH and location. Lovely welcome from Clare when we arrived. We had a quick response to our question about the time breakfast was served via Booking.com messaging. Our room was bright and airy, very clean with a comfortable bed and large en suite. As we were scuba diving at Porthkerris, we had to leave early. Kevin did a lovely round of bacon butties for my husband and musli, fruit and yoghurt plus toast for me. When we returned from our diving they put the heating on for us and offered to dry out our clothing as the weather had been miserable all day. Nice customer care touches.

United KingdomOld Temperance House is in a good location for exploring Cornwall, situated in the centre of the small village St Keverne and less than a minute walk from two great pubs that serve good food. Roskilly's farm is also a short drive and within walking distance from OTH, where they make ice cream and serve hot food on certain days of the week. We really enjoyed our full English breakfast at the b&b, and Kevin was a great host. We wish we had more time to explore the local area - the walk to Porthoustock was really nice. We also had a short drive to Coverack, which was beautiful too!

United KingdomThe shower was not the best (though it did work).
Loved that the room overlooked the village square which had a lovely feeling to it. There is a small table in the room with 2 chairs that you can sit at. Breakfast was lovely (we had a bowl of fruit with croissant that came with jam and cornish cream) along with toast and coffee. There were other choices.

United KingdomOld Temperance House was a very good location for exploring this particular part of Cornwall. We really enjoyed and appreciated the history associated with the village. The bed was very comfortable and we had excellent breakfasts cooked by Kevin, which kept us going all day on some long walks. Beautiful countryside and coastal paths with generally well signposted walking. There was a lovely path to Coverack across the fields. Lots of wildlife to be seen. A few places (The Lavender Farm and Roskillys) that we didn't get time to visit and a lot more walks to do. Next time hopefully!
