Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThere was no cold drinking water due to the only source of water being a mixer tap with a sensor. The owner said The Nook is a converted tea house and the sink was designed just for washing hands, hence the presence of a mixer tap, she apologised for the lack of cold water, which she had been meaning to rectify, and said future guests would be informed. Being a townie I was annoyed at the lack of cold drinking water, but when I'd got off my high horse I realised that I was being hyper-critical and just went out and bought some bottled water instead. When I booked the venue we thought it was a B&B, but once the booking had gone through I saw that no meals were being provided. This made me a little sad as the breakfast reviews had been so good, but a small tea shop 10 minutes away in Port Isaac called the The Cornish Cove made an excellent alternative.
The location was very central for easy travel to Port Isaac and other areas of interest. The venue also provided good off road parking. The Nook was more basic than I expected, and sits beside a road that's fairly busy during the day, but very quiet at night. When we arrived I wasn't all that sure about the accommodation, but it grew on me and turned out to be a great base for our daily excursions. There's a big screen tv with access to a Netflix account, a fridge, microwave, coffee machine (bring your own grounds) and kettle. The shower was hot and hand soap supplied. There is is a good sized patio with an outdoor oven, a large private grassed area adjoining the property where there's plenty of room to kick around a football, also a good view of the surrounding farmland. The owner was very helpful, friendly and a good communicator and thoughtfully brought round a lovely bowl of choccies on our last day, which was a nice touch.

United KingdomA bit remote , so a car needed to get to and from it. The other thing....it is a large studio..so something like a paravan/screen to separate the sleeping area from the dining area would be good

United KingdomNothing everything was amazing
We loved this quirky, spotlessly clean, spacious accommodation with it own private garden with a bbq and pizza oven. We had a great two night stay, Zoe the host was lovely. There was also milk in the fridge. Everything was just right, we used it to visit Port Isaac, Polzeath and Tintagel Castle and Padstow. You get beautiful views from the accommodation with its own private parking. The Wi-Fi was very good and fast which was a bonus as I know the local area for Wi-Fi is not that great The large flat screen TV with guest access to Netflix was great to relax in the evening after spending all day out. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Breakfast was not offered; this is self catering (as expected) . The room was enormous and split into three areas, sleeping, lounge and kitchen diner. Very specifically for a person on their own or for a couple. Spotlessly clean and bright; lovely mood lighting. great controllable heating and instant hot water. Very very fast Broadband/internet; large modern smart JVC television with access to Netflix and other subscription channels with guest access
