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 KingdomWhile the main surfaces and areas were very clean, some spots could do with a deep clean eg skirtings, the shelf under the coffee table, the windows. Perhaps this is due to the time of year and will be done before the main season starts though. For me this was a very minor thing and didn't affect my stay.
The property was generously sized and comfortable. The kitchen was well provisioned with pans, utensils etc. A very quiet spot and only a few mins walk from the beach. I contacted the host Fiona to advise on parking for a second car and got a clear, helpful response (on this occasion I was able to borrow another space on site which was really convenient).

United KingdomTynk is a clean, comfortable and well-organised holiday cottage, close to Harlyn Bay beach and other wonderful coastal walks. Our hosts left us useful local advice and contacts, maps and the welcome hamper was a lovely thought! The kitchen has everything you need for self-catering and a comfortable stay. The living room is warm and cosy but there's plenty of space. The onsite parking is really helpful. Tynk is a charming place to stay.

United KingdomUnfortunately the cleaning of the property wasn't up to the standard we expected mainly due to building works to the rear of the property (2 houses being built) which we weren't informed about at the time of booking. The windows were caked in dust/dirt which impacted on the light into the property and internally the property needed a good spring clean (cobwebs with spiders), smeared mirror above fireplace and underlying smell of dog in the living room. We paid a premium for half term week and we were disappointed with both the lack of notification of building works from the owner/Sykes cottages/booking.com as we would not have booked this property despite its good location for the beach. A property opposite the front door in the courtyard also had metal fencing around it and had renovation works going on. To the rear, just over the fence, the 2 storey houses were at the tiling stage resulting in lack of privacy to the upstairs bedrooms. We vacated the property early, despite being fortunate with warm weather.
We have visited this area many times over the years staying in various different properties and the location of Tynk was approx 5 mins uphill from Harlyn Bay which has a lovely beach and surf/paddleboard/canoe hire with some beach hut eateries. Location of the property was excellent.

United KingdomNo improvement possible!
Fiona, our host was wonderful and left some thoughtful gifts for us in the kitchen, plus lots of games, DVDs and local maps and information for our use. The property was lovely with plenty of comfortable seating, a large kitchen table and two spacious bedrooms. The location was both gorgeous and convenient, close to the beach and also close to a good bus route from Padstow to Newquay.
