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.).

AustraliaThe street is very narrow so parking is a bit tricky as there is only room for one car to get through. Cars are parked on both sides. The stairs are very steep.
The house was very spacious, comfy and had everything we needed for nearly a week’s stay. The owner supplied us with lots of food items and even made us fresh scones complete with clotted cream and jam on our arrival. There were fresh flowers in the rooms and beach towels if we needed them. The house would be fabulous for a family as there were toys, games and books and baby items such as a high chair (which we didn’t need!). Highly recommend this fabulous house.

A lovely light, airy and comfortable house in the perfect location for both the seafront and the town. Great welcome gifts to ease you into your break after the drive to this wonderful part of Cornwall. Less than 5 minutes to the promenade, 1 mile walk to Newlyn, 10 minutes walk past the town gardens into Penzance centre. Fab rooms, fittings, furniture, shower and attention to details.

CanadaNothing!
The property was so clean and cosy and fully stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The hosts provide very helpful recommendations for restaurants and things to do. On arrival, there were scones, jam, clotted cream, milk, bread, eggs and butter and even a bottle of wine provided, which were most appreciated after a long journey! The location is great - short walk along the sea to the centre of Penzance one way and Newlyn in the other direction. Mousehole and Marazion/St Michael's Mount also walking distance, or short bus ride away. We would most definitely recommend this place to anyone considering a trip to Cornwall.

United KingdomThis has to be one of the very best places I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. The house is totally as described; spacious, by the seaside and incredibly homely. The house has been so tastefully and beautifully put together. There are original features a-plenty but this is balanced with lovely modern touches. Natalie and Scott have left no stone unturned for their guests. They have thought of absolutely everything. The kitchen is really well stocked, the lounge has lots of books, DVDs, board games and brochures with local information. The bedrooms are large and inviting and the bedding, beds and pillows are out of this world. We slept so well! The house has some lovely local art work and even a piano so we enjoyed rustily finding things to play from the sheet music provided. Then there are the extras! Where to start - I am bound to miss some things. We were treated to eggs, butter, biscuits, a bottle of wine, milk and even a full cream tea which we thoroughly enjoyed. Jam First of course!! Communication throughout was excellent and everything was absolutely top notch. We can’t wait to turn to this utter gem in one of our favourite places.

The home was a great location to the town, waterfront, and promenade. Comfortable and attractive accommodations with a full kitchen with everything you could need! The host provided unexpected snacks and promptly answered any questions. She also provided a helpful notebook with information about nearby attractions and home instructions.

LuxembourgVery friendly owners, who even provided some food and drinks and a lovely written welcome card, amazing hospitality, we immediately felt home. Lovely interior, well equipped and clean location. Quiet but narrow street, to park a large car or SUV may be a challenge, but it is possible to easily park such wide cars in a surrounding street. Short walks to restaurants and centre of the city. Well located to discover the beautiful south, west and north coast of Cornwall. Definitely a place to come back.

Natalie & Scott were the perfect hosts, and always available to answer any questions we had. They were kind enough to leave us a few treats, and made the check-in and check-out process so easy and stress-free. We visited as a group of friends for a long anticipated catch up weekend, and by the end of the first night we were already plotting our return with our families in the future. We're all local to the area, but staying here made us feel like we were on a proper holiday - with everything we needed close to hand. Hard to imagine staying anywhere else the next time we're in PZ.

CanadaThe cottage is ideally suited: close to the beach, the train station and the bus station. We arrived at the cottage tired and hungry, with the dreaded thought of going shopping for food. To our great surprise, our hostess had left, among other things, eggs, butter, bread, Cornish scones, jam and clotted cream. That evening, we had scrambled eggs for dinner and we drank a great bottle of wine, also provided by Natalie our host. The thoughtful gestures are all over this house. Sparkling clean, beautifully ironed bed linens, soft fluffy towels, as well as a well prepared book which Natalie provided and which helped take the stress out of trying to figure out how appliances work, etc., all designed to help ensure a stress free holiday. We had an amazing week here, thanks in no small part to our host. The icing on the cake is Cornwall, which has some of the most spectacular scenery we have ever seen, all accessible for a $20.00 initial cost which allows one to travel anywhere in Cornwall! We highly recommend this property and our dream is to return some day!
