Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IrelandVegetarian dinner was very disappointing. Limited choice of starter and pesto pasta wasn't very appetising. It would be great to have body lotion in the bedroom rather than a large container of hand sanitizer.
Lovely bedroom with great sea view, nice garden to sit out in, friendly staff, good location.

United States of AmericaThe only reason I didn't give an "excellent" rating was that the walk up to the hotel was a steep hill which is a little difficult with a suitcase. Could be challenging for an elderly person or someone with mobility issues. However, I suspect this could be the case for most hotels in Penzance as it is a very hilly area.
I liked the quaintness of the building. The grounds were nice and the views from dining room, lounge and patio were fantastic. Room was clean and comfortable and serviced each day. Coffee, tea and snacks were provided which was a nice extra touch. Even though I had a more economical room, the view from windows was of a bamboo forest and flowers - very pleasant.

United KingdomStaff lovely each time but only one of them so had to wait ages on arrival as they were busy serving in the restaurant. Had to leave before breakfast, were promised sandwiches but these did not materialise. On second stay room was extremely hot - had to leave patio doors open all night.
Stayed twice for 1 night either end of a trip to the Scilly Isles. First stay room much nicer (and cheaper). Shared areas, restaurant & garden all very nice. Friendly pleasant staff. Would certainly stay again. DBB deal great value.

United KingdomThe hotel is located on a hill and parking is on a slant making it very difficult to park and hard to find on street parking.
The room was nice and clean, welcome sweets and few snacks were included. The hotel staff were very helpful, as I had forgotten my drivers licence in the reception, after checking out.

United KingdomNot really a criticism as not their fault, but the dining room was closed when I went due to a problem. Lovely restaurants a few minutes walk away (in the storm!). Really good breakfast but clearly not many guests as the hot food plate was unmanned and I didn't have much time. All my own dramas, I didn't get to make the most of the place. Would certainly return
Beautiful reception room with chairs by the windows. Views over the ocean. I was there whilst it was stormy so very peaceful. I loved the Mediterranean diner, my bed was comfy- great pillows. Hot shower, heated towel rail, lovely TV kettle etc (some places are cheap. Not here).

United KingdomI accidentally left my charger at the hotel room. That evening, I called and the staff who answered said the cleaning staff was off and they did not have access to the lost and found. The next morning, I called again and the staff who answered said he did not receive any charger from the cleaning staff. Clearly, my charger has been taken. I emailed the hotel but I didn't receive a reply.
The staff members at the reception were very helpful and friendly. The hotel has this vintage look and feel. We asked for the sea view and we were catered. The hotel was also within a 10-minute walking distance from Penzance Station. The sea view from the dining area (for breakfast) was amazing!
