How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewHawks nest is very clean, in a picturesque part of Cornwall, 10 minute drive outside wadebridge, owners are very helpful and chatty, 10/10 from me
Only downside was trying to get a taxi into town so me and partner could enjoy a drink, 5 taxi companies and not one was able to pick us up which was disappointing 😕
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so sorry the local taxi firms would not collect you. We would have happily have dropped you off in Wadebridge or Padstow and collected you.

Verified reviewIt was such a quiet and beautiful location, so close to Padstow and Wadebridge but away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin is private and not facing the campground so you get your own space and there’s a beautiful gas BBQ available to use as well! The owners were incredibly friendly and lovely, left us a bottle of rosé on our arrival and really made sure we were comfortable and happy! It was spotless, with so many little extras to really make you feel like you’re at home. A good size shower with a great water pressure as well - We would definitely come back!
The bed was firmer than we’re used to, but absolutely not enough to put us off returning!
Dear Ellie, Thank you for your lovely review and it was an absolute pleasure to meet you both. It is really difficult trying to get the bed to suit everyone. Last week someone said it was not hard enough! It would be lovely to see you both again. Love Jo

Verified reviewLovely set up with a well equipment kitchen. It had everything we needed. Comfy bed, nice quality linens and towels and very quiet. Easy to find and 2 dedicated parking spaces. We'd definitely stay again.
I struggled to lock the door on the first night, I think it was user error but might need a bit of WD40! The next day it was find when my fiancé tried it!
Thank you for your lovely review Fiona. The door handle can be awkward. You have to be a Stone Age woman and give it an extra grunt. I have too! Apparently it is the design. Take care and please do come again and we can do Stone Age Ladies exercises! Jo

Bird scarer spoilt early morning peace
Thank you for your lovely review. I am afraid the bird scary is on someone else's property, which I appreciate is not nice to listen to, as we have to suffer it as well! There is nothing I can do about it.

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay at Hawks Nest. From the amenities available to us, to the friendly and accommodating hosts, everything was perfect. Waking up every morning, watching various wildlife from the comfort of the cabin, enjoying the wonderful pond next to it. The cabin is nice and secluded, giving off peaceful vibes, but is only a few minutes drive away from central Wadebridge and Padstow. The owners were so lovely and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and providing everything we needed during our stay. Their BBQ is fantastic so we enjoyed lots of good food throughout. We would love to stay again and highly recommend Hawks Nest to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the most beautiful part of England.
