Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe were happy with everything!
The breakfast was great, all freshly cooked with nice choices. We had fruit and yoghurt, orange juice, bacon, & scrambled eggs with toast, blueberry muffins and coffee - - a perfect start to the day! Jenny, our host, made us very welcome and gave us ideas of where to eat at night. We went to Nook & Cranny at her suggestion and had a lovely meal, we were able to sit outside as it was a nice evening and the food was delicious there.

United KingdomCouldn't improve on this for a short stay
After a tour involving six hotels it was a change to stay in a quiet B&B in a residential area of Truro. The owner and her husband were very helpful during our short stay; she is very friendly and went out of her way to please. Recommended a very good place for dinner in the town and made a lovely breakfast, including a pot of Yorkshire Tea for this traveller who was missing his home comforts!

Jenny and Justin were amazing host's. We received a warm welcome from Jenny when we arrived and later engaged in a lovely conversation with Justin. Our room was comfortable and quiet. It felt like home. Jenny suggested a lovely spot for dinner which was about a 15 minute walk away. I would definitely stay there again.

United StatesWe booked the room with 2 twin beds, and they were a bit short for my partner. You may have some trouble sleeping comfortably if you're taller than 5'8".
The host and her dog (Abby) were great, and we enjoyed meeting and breaking bread with fellow travelers. The bathroom was also nice and roomy. We liked that we were within walking distance of the park (with a waterfall) and from the main area of town where we could grab food.

CanadaI liked everything!
The breakfast was excellent. So much care and attention put into making our travel experience memorable. The decor of the whole place was beautiful and charming. Jennifer and Justin were friendly and most welcoming. We decided to stay in Abide Within during our arrival and departure in Truro. The close proximity to the train station was a plus for us. A charming place and we had a great experience and our fellow lodgers were wonderful too. Thank you Abide Within B&B, Jennifer and Justin for a great experience. We have already started recommending your place to friends and family.

AustraliaA genuine bed-and-breakfast, with the hostess being the resident-owner. Warm, friendly, chatty hostess was very obliging and full of local knowledge and stories. Home-style breakfast was good and provided an opportunity to discuss almost any subject. The home was warm and inviting and the room spacious and comfortable.
