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...).

AustraliaWe thought it was in Port Isaac, however it was quite a bit out. As we didn't have a car we were unable to get anywhere.
It was a lovely place to stay if you had a car.

United KingdomRoad noise. No clean sponge for washing up. Poor pottery, except the two cups. Plate stacker had rust on and metal holder in bathroom also had rust on. Could be improved, with little input.
We liked the nice garden,with seating, a good shower and a nice tv. Lovely views surrounded the cottage and seeing wildlife early in the morning.

United KingdomThere was no cold drinking water due to the only source of water being a mixer tap with a sensor. The owner said The Nook is a converted tea house and the sink was designed just for washing hands, hence the presence of a mixer tap, she apologised for the lack of cold water, which she had been meaning to rectify, and said future guests would be informed. Being a townie I was annoyed at the lack of cold drinking water, but when I'd got off my high horse I realised that I was being hyper-critical and just went out and bought some bottled water instead. When I booked the venue we thought it was a B&B, but once the booking had gone through I saw that no meals were being provided. This made me a little sad as the breakfast reviews had been so good, but a small tea shop 10 minutes away in Port Isaac called the The Cornish Cove made an excellent alternative.
The location was very central for easy travel to Port Isaac and other areas of interest. The venue also provided good off road parking. The Nook was more basic than I expected, and sits beside a road that's fairly busy during the day, but very quiet at night. When we arrived I wasn't all that sure about the accommodation, but it grew on me and turned out to be a great base for our daily excursions. There's a big screen tv with access to a Netflix account, a fridge, microwave, coffee machine (bring your own grounds) and kettle. The shower was hot and hand soap supplied. There is is a good sized patio with an outdoor oven, a large private grassed area adjoining the property where there's plenty of room to kick around a football, also a good view of the surrounding farmland. The owner was very helpful, friendly and a good communicator and thoughtfully brought round a lovely bowl of choccies on our last day, which was a nice touch.

Breakfast was not offered; this is self catering (as expected) . The room was enormous and split into three areas, sleeping, lounge and kitchen diner. Very specifically for a person on their own or for a couple. Spotlessly clean and bright; lovely mood lighting. great controllable heating and instant hot water. Very very fast Broadband/internet; large modern smart JVC television with access to Netflix and other subscription channels with guest access

United KingdomThe only complaint would be the mattress being uncomfortable due to it being far to soft for our liking. Another pillow each would have been nice too, that said, the sofa was very comfortable.
The value for money is fantastic, everything you need and expect for the price. We used the Nook as a base which it’s perfect for due to its location, only a 9 minute drive from port Issac and Polzeath. Zoe was very friendly and welcoming, we enjoyed our stay

AustraliaAlthough a good location , it took us nearly 2 hours to find it . Google maps sent us to the other end of road , locals had no idea , Eventually someone had successes with postcode when helping us ( we didn’t ) “the nook “ not mentioned anywhere on signs but a small “ Plain Tree Cottage” sign on wall which we noted was same as info on email in small print , altered us to correct location. We had a hire car without Sat Nav Road side sign in larger print needed and name needs to be consistent.
Lovely breakfast , although butter for toast would have been good Lovely room
