Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomThe sheets are a little thin.
This accommodation is very good, the landlord is very friendly, we arrived early to help us arrange our luggage, and the most satisfying thing is breakfast, which is very delicious and the coffee is excellent. I drank two cups! If you come here, it is highly recommended.

AustraliaThe day break alarm clock seagulls squawking very early in the morning and tramping our roof for nest building which was just unfortunate.
We were warmly welcomed by Tracy (owner) who was very friendly and helpful. She cooked an excellent English breakfast and also accommodated for gluten free. Our view from Room 3 on top floor looked towards St Ives harbour was beautiful this made up for the tight space around the bed. The bed was too firm so Tracy supplied an additional mattress projector which helped. In a good location as a quiet section of street, a walk downhill to beach, harbour, train station, bus stop, shops and restaurants.

United KingdomBreakfast here was amazing and locally produced with lots of choices. The location was great for us 5 minutes from the harbour and bars and restaurants. The hotel is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, the bedroom was cosy and comfortable with amenities included. Would highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be booking again.

NetherlandsCentral location , everything from beach to town centre to bus station could be reached within a 5-8 minute walk. Cosy room with the most amazing view - we saw the tide coming in and receding 🤩 Tracy is the sweetest host and she made really yummy breakfast each day (with a variety of choices).

United KingdomThe room we had was one of the smaller ones available, but if you're in the area to look around and not spend a lot of time in there it's fine. Seagulls were loud, but that's nothing to do with the B&B!
Breakfast was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and nice, the building was maintained well and it was very close to the harbour and everything we needed. Really enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomVery little to fault at all, but a tiny tiny thing was the TV was on the fritz a bit which got a bit annoying when trying to wind down after a busy day. But again an incredibly minor bug bear as the stay overall was excellent.
Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable and a lovely quiet, relaxing stay. Breakfast was cooked well and location was very good. Well worth the money.

United KingdomA fair walk to the shops and beach. The hotel was situated at the top of the resort which is hilly. Would have been nice to have had a little more milk left in the room for tea/coffee ( little cartoons only enabled each of us to have 1 hot drink each) Usually had clean towels daily but I think they got overlooked as was left for 2 days and I had to ask for clean/dry towels.
Breakfast was cooked freshly every morning. It was always hot. Eggs cooked to your individual liking. Other choices available besides the full English if preferred. There was only parking for 4 vehicles ( 2 in front, 2 behind) but everyone was amenable and Moved cars around after breakfast if other visitors wanted to use their cars for touring the area. A fabulous view from our room 4 window. Rooms serviced every day.

Spotlessly clean room. Bright and fresh furnishings. Cleaned everyday. Warm and friendly host. The location was great. Close to the station, town and beaches.
