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 KingdomSound did travel a bit from the people staying above but not a real problem.
Right by the harbour, having the choice of an apartment rather than a room was great, all the character they have kept in the converted mill was lovely. As soon as I reported a problem with a window it was sorted. Staff were lovely. Loved that dogs were allowed everywhere.

United KingdomGreat location, comfortable bed, nice traditional room, great bathroom, staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good, and so was dinner. The hotel has a great atmosphere, a very relaxed "country hotel" but also an upmarket north Cornwall feel. Boscastle is a lovely place, would definitely recommend the Wellington and would stay again.

United KingdomNothing.
The history of the hotel was fantastic and loved it. The staff were very pleasant, friendly, welcoming and helpful on check-in and this was the same throughout. The online process of booking a table for dinner was straightforward and providing menus online made gave you an idea of the food available and facilitated the process of ordering the food at dinner time and the service and food at dinner was wonderful with the service very efficient and quick. The room was great with comfortable beds and made for a great night's sleep and breakfast was just as great as dinner. If in the area again I would definitely look at staying here again. The location was great with the scenery extremely stunning and beautiful and made it one of the best hotel stays ever.

United KingdomA beautiful traditional hotel recently taken over by St Austell Brewery so they also serve great ale. Breakfast was served in a really beautiful dining room rather than the bar as is often the case for these sort of places. Only 2 mins walk from the centre of boscastle. Parking is very limited but the main boscastle car park is only 6 or 7 mins walk.

United KingdomMy room was in the loft area - so lots of stairs (got lost once or twice as a bit of a maze!) and needing to bend in certain places in room. Would have liked a fridge in the room.
My favourite thing was the location in Boscastle. Was lucky with parking and got a space easily in the small carpark. Staff were lovely and so friendly (both hotel and bar). Good continental breakfast choice (and could buy a cooked breakfast if wanted). I stayed in a twin room.

What a lovely hotel, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms, super dog friendly fabulous location and stunning views. What’s not to love about this place. The rooms that are dog friendly do not smell of dog, everywhere is dog friendly and we just loved it.

United KingdomI was in room 10 which has what looks like an industrial extractor fan attached to the wall outside the room, from the kitchen. It is quite noisy and starts at 0730 until about 2230. The noise was intrusive. It stopped the possibility of lie ins, and early nights which isn't really fair when you're on holiday.
The staff were great, the food was great, the room itself was very good.

United KingdomNothing at all which I didn’t like! Only things to note are that the rooms are a little dated (personally I think that adds to the charm of Boscastle!), and breakfast did seem chaotic at times, with just the one member of staff there it did take quite a while to initially place your order. Couldn’t fault the food though!
Such a lovely cosy place to stay. Coming to Boscastle is like coming ‘home’ for me, and being able to relax at The Welly made the whole trip so much more lovely. Super comfy bed, scrumptious food, and friendly staff. I’ll be back for sure!
