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 KingdomShower pressure wasn’t great but in all honesty, it didn’t really matter when you had the bath and with everything else, it was a minor issue.
The room was incredible, the attention to detail and decor were stunning. The views from the windows/balcony were beautiful despite it being a bad day, and having the standalone bath in the room made it feel even more special. Staff were really helpful and attentive, the vibe was really nice. You could easily lose hours sat with a coffee and book or enjoying a few cocktails. We will definitely be coming back when the weather is better! They even gave my partner a beer and glass for his birthday which he really enjoyed and appreciated. Couldn’t fault them at all!

United KingdomThe views from our room were stunning! Watching the beautiful sunrise colours from our bed and seeing 3 seals from the window 👌 We were given a parking permit to the car park less than 5 minutes walk away and were allowed to keep it the next day after we’d checked out so we could continue enjoying St Ives. The complimentary drinks voucher was a lovely unexpected touch and a great way to start our evening! Having a whole menu to choose from for breakfast was amazing, the breakfast burrito helped sort out the hangover. We had such a lovely time staying here and would definitely come back :)

United KingdomNot knowing about this place before.
Great theme and layout. Views were fantastic and the whole place was well thought out and very clean. The staff were great being both friendly and professional. The back ground music was well chosen both in the evening and over breakfast. The breakfast burrito was unusual but great. And the complimentary drink was a cracking idea.

United KingdomRoom was pretty tight on space and there were baby seagulls outside our window who were very chatty 🤣
Our window was like a picture frame overlooking the harbour. It was amazing. Location was fantastic, easy walk to centre of town. The cocktails and food and cafe area were excellent. Really enjoyed the cooked breakfast.

AustraliaThe room was very hot. The window was left open night and day yet we were very uncomfortable at night. With no street number we found the property very difficult to find as we arrived in the rain.
Great vicinity to everything, harbour, restaurants, shops etc. very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent breakfast.
