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 KingdomNeeded more information before arrival on how to retrieve the keys from a hidden key box to gain access as we stood outside for a while in freezing rain and wind trying to phone for help. No free parking.
Very spacious appartment providing most facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely views from the balcony and excellent situation close to everything.

United KingdomHaving to leave.
Our host was kind enough to leave us an amazing selection of nice things to eat and drink on our arrival which was a lovely touch. The apartment was outstanding and had everything you could possibly require. It was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The location was perfectly located in Falmouth with amazing views across the marina.

United KingdomEverything is good.
Sarah was very accomodating. She made sure that our arrival was smooth and easy. She replies to email or chat quickly. The place is exceptional the location is fantastic with excellent view of the harbour from the balcony..It is also very accessible to the high street, shops, and interesting places. There are lots of parking nearby with reasonable fee, cleanliness is satisfactory, the amenities, and good value for money. Sarah also made sure that everything we need is available. The kitchen is fully equiped with all the crockery and utensils. All the 3 bedroom are en-suite..and i like the layout of the flat with the modern touch its modern touch. If you love shopping or just fancy a walk, the high street is just within walking distance about 5 to 10 mins walk with lots of shops to choose from little cornish shops, bakery, and all sort of things you see. The tiny foot path and narrow streets are well preserved which makes it a popular destination to those who are fond of seeing the English Heritage and ways of living. The white sandy beach called Gyllyngvase is just 5 mins drive and from there you can go for a short walk to visit the famous Pendennis Castle Point. I will definitely return to this place for sure. 100% commendable. Thank you Sarah.

SwitzerlandInternet speed could be improved, way too slow in case one would have to work some days remote from this place or would like to upload vacation photos.
Modern appartment in the vibrant part of Falmouth, directly at the harbor. Great views and well equipped kitchen. If you don’t want to cook, many restaurants are just steps away or around the corner. Perfect HQ for all your Cornwall day trips. Very helpful and friendly host [Sarah], who was easy to reach for any questions or concerns. (Important if you travel with [heavy] flight luggage: there is no elevator and many steps up to the top floor where appartment 5 is located.)

United KingdomNothing - it was perfect!
This apartment is amazing! Situated right over Discovery Quay, the main event square, it was the perfect location for a vibrant base. Beautiful beach 20 mins walk, train station, town centre and boat trips all within 5 minutes walk. Tesco is 2 minutes walk. Great food and drink from venues underneath the apartment - Lemon Twist food is great! And always something going on locally. We arrived on the overnight sleeper from Paddington to Truro, then took the local train to Falmouth Town. No need for a car as the buses and local trains were great. The apartment itself is stunning. It's on two floors - upstairs is a very calm space with large double bedroom and bathroom, with many velux windows for lots of air. Downstairs are two bedrooms (twin and double), each with en-suite, and the main living area which is an open plan kitchen/lounge/dining room. Lots of cutlery and crockery and some nice touches. Utility room has washing/drying machine, which was very helpful. Sarah the host was fantastic, being very flexible about letting us store our luggage earlier than check in and after checkout.
