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.).

Breakfast was very good and the overall standard was great. The breakfast was laid out very delicately and tasteful. We liked the small extra details, I.e cloth to remove makeup etc. Also that we were able to put the heating on when we needed to.

Lovely room and comfortable bed. Nice shower, good water pressure. Dog bowls and treats provided. Lovely breakfast in a beautiful room. Good quality ingredients and nicely cooked. The owner was very friendly, and we had a nice chat at breakfast. Had a great sensir light in a wall plug socket so if you got up to go to the toilet you could see where you were going.

Absolutely amazing B&B, felt at home as soon as we arrived with a great welcome from Ben. Exception to detail was fantastic, from the detailed arrival instructions prior to our visit, Katherine’s home made biscuits in the room and dog biscuits, bowls and even cleaning products in case of any doggy accidents, we couldn’t have been better looked after. Breakfast was as high standard as the rest of the stay. One of the best B&B’s we’ve stayed in by far.

United KingdomNothing, I cannot fault it at all.
The room was perfect, well decorated, tastefully decorated and restored to a high standard, with lots of little things that had clearly been very well thought out. The host was amazingly friendly and accommodating and we felt very well catered for. Having such a good choice of high quality breakfast options was an added bonus, and the location was great for our plans. We would certainly come back again.

Our stay at Pengelly was exceptional. Beautiful house and garden, friendly hosts, very clean and thoughtful room (homemade biscuits, silent fridge with fresh milk, make up flannels, bowls and treats for our dog) and an incredible breakfast. Honestly the best fry up we've ever had. Have 100% recommended to our family. Will hope to return soon.
