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 KingdomAreas of the property could do with a deep clean, under beds, and corners of rooms and light fittings. Sofa ( cream)would benefit from a clean. Some cosmetic issues
Beautiful sea view. Large spacious property for a comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen. Warm and cosy. Welcome basket. Peaceful location. Books to read. The host was willing to help and checked on us the morning after there was a bad storm during the night.

United KingdomOthers have said it is "tired". But for price I paid (and with no security deposit) I was more than happy. Yes, as with anything there are a few jobs that need attending to but some of that is due to mistreatment by previous guests tather than owner neglect. Yes, there is an on going issue with the patio doors over the balcony that wont lock. But its elevated so unless the burglar was spiderman id feel safe. Certainly nothing coming close to spoiling our visit.
It's in an excellent location. Large, on three floors. Big living room with 3 or 4 sofas, a little snug that can seat 4, dining table in kitchen for ten. Plenty of room to spread out. Total of 5 bedrooms, 2 lounges large kitchen/ diner big open hallways and landings with a toilet on every floor. 2 showers and one bath. Fire alarm back up battery died beeping in the night. I contacted the owner who came out and fixed it no problems.

United KingdomThe property was just slightly lacking a little loving care by the owner nothing serious but lacked a lock on a veranda door and had some very tatty ripped curtains and blinds.
Liked the location and the house a lot. As advertised views are fabulous and hard to beat in that area of Porthleven.

United KingdomPossibly more attention to detail/maintenance needed-in one of the bedrooms the main light did not work -new bulbs needed we think , also lamp needed bulb. Patio doors - no way of securing them -no lock mechanism what so ever so property never properly secure . Some of the windows would not open properly . There were Blinds at some of the windows but no string to pull them down or up . Also s some of the bed linen had minor stains on it . Lacking in mirrors in bedrooms. We paid nearly £1000 for three nights so don’t think that these unreasonable comments.
Very spacious -perfect for large family holiday , lovely views /location , large garden for children to play in , plenty of on site parking which is a real bonus in Porthleven. Nice modern kitchen and downstairs bathroom.

United KingdomThe balcony door was broken. It looked like the locks had been taken out intentionally which seemed suspicion, so we had to keep valuable in the car to be extra safe. We never had any issues though as the neighbourhood was super safe. The property advertised that a BBQ stand was available but this was not the case. Minor things that didn’t ruin our stay but something to be aware of.
The location was great and the views were phenomenal. Porthleven town only 10 mins walk away and Loe bar only 15-20 mins walk. The property was fully stocked with everything you could need during your stay including towels, hand / washing up soap, kitchen utensils etc.

United KingdomOnly thing I would change would have been being able to access the balcony off of the sitting room. It wa locked and had old broken furniture - assume a safety issue but would have been amazing to be able to use that space
Absolutely incredible views, lots of space, can accommodate large groups, free parking and easy access. Short walk to the beach and the town centre with lovely pubs and restaurant options

United KingdomThe house remains tired and in need of TLC, looking at previous reviews from a year ago, many issues raised remain. Balcony door still not fixed, lack of mirrors in rooms, ensuite shower leaking and water not that hot. House is quite grubby and tired and many windows not opening. The TV broke when we were there, called the owner who said it was new, it didn't look like a new TV. No offer to help solve situation at the time. Its a great size for a crowd and in an excellent location just don't expect too many home comforts.
Fantastic views and location overlooking the sea and close to Porthleven town.
