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.).

AustraliaIt’s just so Cornish, in a windy location not far from the cliffs above Bude where you can hear the sea. It easily conjures up visions of secret tunnels and smugglers although I haste to say I didn’t see any. Inside, it’s like visiting a private home with comfortable lounges and an abundance of books. I stayed there last year as well and found Steve to be the storybook genial host both times. The breakfast is wholesome and generous and if you have to leave before it is served, they will make you a generous packed lunch by way of compensation. The bus stop for connections to Bude, Launceston or Tintagel is a mere 100 metres away. And there’s spectacular cliff top walking trails aplenty.

Upton cross was amazing, I felt at home as soon as I went through the door, Flavio and Steve were so hospitable and told us different places to visit, the breakfasts were lovely and freshly cooked and there was plenty, I loved all the animals especially the dogs, who I made a fuss of each day, the view from our room was stunning overlooking the sea, the donkeys alpacas in the fields, with the geese tapping at the door in the lounge were so comical, we had lovely weather as well

United KingdomI really don’t understand the rave reviews. I don’t wish to be unkind, and it is an adequate overnight stop. But the bed linen wasn’t clean. The view of the sea was over a domestic rubbish area. The decor is tired and worn. The breakfast was mediocre at best: the cheapest possible orange juice from concentrate. They did replace the fried bread with toast when I asked. A single cup of coffee. I usually refrain from leaving a review if I am negative about somewhere, but this was just so off kilter from my expectations based upon the reviews that I felt I had to honestly relate my personal experience - otherwise what is the point of reviews. The Wi-fi is good. The dogs are great, I took Oscar for a walk. The animals are fun too.
