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 KingdomVery steep steps (called Jacobs ladder) to get quickly to central town by foot,which not great if your older.But to be fair they have hand rails and there are alternative stairs and roads to take.The views are worth it too..Falmouth is not easy to drive around with narrow streets and hilly with fast local traffic.Walking is a little challenging for same reason and uneven stone,narrow pavement.But all this is worth it because Falmouth is beautiful.Friendly inclusive place with plenty to see and do.Will be returning soon.My only small,quibble with appartment is light coloured furnishing is a worry with kids and teenagers etc.Also I would have liked a full length mirror some where but really not that big a deal.
Very comfortable.Quirky interesting conversion from a school room to appartment ,excellently done and beautiful decor.Warm under floor heating just right for our Autumn trip. Good lighting every where.,including the stairs.Well equiped. with great open plan living space down stairs.3 toilets.Very comfortable beds.TV easy to use.good wifi.Lovely hosts with lots of information,clear instruction etc.Would definetely recommend.

United KingdomA bright modern and spotlessly clean apartment which is well equipped. Eric met us on arrival and was extremely helpful He explained a lot of details about the appartment and the local area. Another bonus was that Eric and Emma are easily contacted if any problems arise. The apartment is well located for the local shopping street in Falmouth town centre and we found that we could easily visit famous sightseeing attractions in Cornwall by car. Thank you Eric and Emma for a most enjoyable stay in Cornwall.

United KingdomOnly space for 1 car but this wasn’t a problem as there was always space in the road outside for our second car.
This was the best self catering accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. They have thought of everything to make a stay so comfortable and the Kitchen was so well equipped that cooking a full meal was a doddle. It was like a home away from home and I didn’t want to leave. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and the wonderful eco friendly products were a lovely surprise - smelt great as well. There was even a helpful booklet left for us which gave good recommendations for restaurants, bars and places of interest - Emma and Eric have thought of everything you need to make it a really special stay, even down to the wonderful welcome pack.

United KingdomI think it would be appreciated to be able to completely block sunlight from the bedrooms to stop people who can't sleep when it is too bright in the room waking up at 5am.
The apartment was incredibly well equipped, had everything we needed to cook a variety of meals. It was beautifully clean and very well located. Having a dedicated parking space was very useful and super easy access to the apartment. The addition of netflix, board games and sound bar were appreciated for a group of friends who were after a chill weekend. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Falmouth.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the property or our stay. 10/10 couldn’t fault.
The property was very central to the main town with only a 5 minute walk. The apartment is just beautiful. Lovely big windows and the rooms were very spacious. Emma & Eric were amazing and very welcoming. They even left us some milk and butter ready for us in the fridge. They left us a welcome pack with everything we needed to know about the area and the apartment. Very organised and well presented. We will definitely be returning in the future.

United KingdomThere is nothing to be improved on, everything exceeded expectations.
Fabulous appartment, cream tea left for as a welcome for us, very yummy! The kitchen was really well equipped, home from home, we didn't cook much but when we did the facilities were great. Beautifully furnished appartment, the sofa and chairs were really comfy. The bedrooms had really comfy beds, the shower was great in the en-suite! Really good information pack left by Eric and Emma. They recommended The Sea View pub just down the road for a meal, we went there and had a really nice meal. We caught the train from the Town Station to St Ives, via Truro. We had a great day out (without all the summer crowds), the little branch line was recommended by Emma.
