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):
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.
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.).

IrelandThe mattress was quite soft.
Lovely bright room. Very tasty breakfast with a good choice that we could order in advance. The owner was helpful in giving us information re getting in and out of St. Ives. We had breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the garden.

United KingdomA real home away from home. The location was ideal for our stay with easy access to Carbis Bay and St Ives. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast area and conservatory are beautifully furnished. Lovely garden outside with seating areas.

AustraliaNothing. It was perfect
Halwell lodge is a gorgeous guest house about 12 minutes from St Ives. It was exceptionally clean and extremely comfortable. Our room slept 3 people and there was plenty of space with a comfortable sitting area. We loved the big copper bath in the bathroom. Breakfast was beautifully prepared and presented. There is a beautiful garden space as well. Plenty of parking. The owners were delightful. We can highly recommend as a place to stay when exploring St Ives and the surrounding area

United KingdomEverything was great. Only slight negative was no shower head in the bathroom, as there was not enough hot water to fill the bath even half full for three people. It takes about half an hour to reheat, but as we were on holiday and not in a rush it did not cause us too much of an issue.
Very convenient location. Hosts gave us lots of tips about local beaches. We stayed in the triple bedroom which was spacious and clean. Comfortable beds, tv and coffee making facilities in the room. Lovely copper bath, though may not be accessible for everyone due to high sides and low ceiling. Hosts are friendly and very accommodating, and the breakfasts are delicious. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomWe had a great 2-night stay at halwell lodge. It was easy to find and there was ample parking. There was a 2 minute walk to the bus stop with regular buses into St Ives centre/harbour (which took about 10 minutes) Our hosts were very welcoming and attentive. The room was very spacious and comfortable, with lovely views and a big copper freestanding bath tub which felt really luxurious. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and was delicious, with a good range of options. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in St Ives
