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 KingdomThere was no bar area as such. Drinks were served but at your dining table.
It was a very nice property with a bit of history attached to it. We were housed in an adjoining cottage in an upstairs room with ensuite facilities. This was in the countryside so very quiet in the evening. Dinner and breakfast were good, well presented and plentiful.

United KingdomNothing really. If I was to be super picky, the toilet flusher wasn't fantastic. It was a little temperamental but it worked!
Room was lovely. Loads of character. Didn't have evening meal but breakfast was really good. Everything real value for money.

United KingdomWifi in the main building was strong but for the last 2 nights of 4 was unobtainable in my room in the building across from the main house- this was annoying - I mentioned it but connectivity was not restored. The desk was a bit small for working at and had a mirror with drawers on the top which got in the way- I could have lifted it off but that seemed ott. There were only 2 sockets, just by the desk, so kettle, laptop (when I could use it) and the re-charging of phone etc etc had to be juggled. These are quibbles really- I had a great stay.
The room was well lit and fine for one person. The food, both breakfast and evening meal, was excellent- good quality and well cooked and presented. A short but thoroughly varied wine list. I ate there 4 nights and was not disappointed. Staff were helpful and cheerful. It was great to be able to park easily right by the property.

United KingdomPlumbing in bathroom was not fit for purpose - (you can't have an old vented system with hot water storage heater for multiple guests, shower was a mere trickle and when neighbours had their bath, the water running to refill the storage tank was very noisy for a long time).
Very comfortable bed, dinner was great (not so much the reheated Sunday Roast). Good location to explore both the North coast and Bodmin Moor.

United KingdomThere was no bar area but a lounge you could sit in. Not very much atmosphere. Drinks very expensive considering no draught beer available. 4 drinks were £27.50. I booked through Booking.com and was quoted £212.52 for 3 nights B&B, reasonable enough. When I checked my credit card bill I had paid £255. I'm still waiting for a response from Booking.com for the reason of the overcharge.
Breakfast. Wide choice of food. Avoided the sausage after the first morning. Tough and overcooked. The room was in need of some tlc. Shower cubicle very dated. Paintwork was in need of freshening up. We weren't actually in the hotel but what looked like a converted house.

United KingdomConsequently black pudding missed off plates but rectified be it too late. Delay in filling up orange juice but as I said she was very very busy. So not a big deal. The other problem was the heating wasn't on in rooms as it was a chilly evening we asked at dinner about this and was told it would be dealt with. But rads still off in my room, Polzeath. I was cold during the night and slept in my dressing gown but still woke at 5.40am. Friends said their rads were on in their bathrooms but my room wasn't. I was in Polzeath. Bed comfy tho, bedding clean, room could do with a redecorate. But not too bad for end of season. We love staying here to visit our dear friend who lives nearby. So we will be back. Perhaps I'll pack a hot water bottle. Lol hahaha
Stayed over night. Evening meal exceptional. Service very good. Breakfast good but waitress was very busy due to everyone turning up for breakfast at same.

United KingdomBathroom very clean but could do with an upgrade now - a shower curtain is pretty 'old school' and allowed water to leak all over the floor. Trehellas is not somewhere to stay, however, if you're hoping to get a late meal or a late drink in the bar - by 8.45pm on a Thursday the whole place was closed down, lights off and the team ready to head home. It suited me fine, but would be a problem if you were expecting an active restaurant staying open until the advertised 9pm! Or indeed needed breakfast before 8am.
Always a friendly welcome at this old house-turned-into-a-hotel. Parking is easy, finding it no problem (just outside Bodmin), rooms clean with windows that open which is good, and comfortable beds. Breakfast smelled good though I didn't have time for it. I was late arriving and they called to check I was still coming, which is good.
