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 reviewLocation was great, terrace great, staff cheerful. Nice refurbished bathroom.
Was well worn. Our room had no aircon. TV was small and not a good picture. Could only just get in room as there was a desk by the door. Couldn't open both shutter windows as bedside table in the way. Kettle old. Wardrobe door caught as you closed it. Bed advertised as king-size but it wasn't. Glass around outside deck was dirty, deck needed to swept. It calls itself a luxury hotel and charges luxury prices but it most certainly does not live up to expectations.

Verified reviewThe staff were very pleasant & friendly. Bed was very comfortable!. Bar/restaurant was very nice and had excellent views overlooking the beach.
The room was in need of limited service, e.g. the shower controls were loose and the cubicle leaked so water sprayed on to the floor each time it was used. The residents should be informed that the bar/restaurant is not part of the hotel business so not given the option of a room tab, also, not offered a discount on purchases made in the bar.

Verified reviewComfortable hotel in a great seaside location. Stylish room with good bathroom and very comfortable bed. Great breakfast with attentive staff. Great sea views. Good selection of teas and biscuits in room. Would stay again.
The receptionist was on the phone for ten minutes while we were waiting to check in and didn’t even acknowledge us. There was a dirty towel left in our bathroom which smelled of cigarette smoke. More attention to detail/ staff training needed.

Verified reviewExcellent location, lovely breakfast, helpful staff, convenient hotel for the beach and for exploring Cornwall.
We had high expectations based on the ratings and the pictures. Unfortunately, the hotel did not live up to these expectations. The hotel itself and the rooms were a bit dated, the carpets were old and stained. The rooms were very hot and stuffy as well due to the lack of air conditioning. When opening the terrace door in our first floor room, we were ‘greeted’ by the 24-hour sound of what appeared to be a generator or something similar. The bed was way too soft, with no support at all. There were no blackout blinds so there was plenty of light in the room from sunrise onwards, making it difficult to carry on sleeping.
