How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe property is outstanding. It is set in quiet countryside, but only 20 mins by car from Bude and Launceston. The property is decorated and furnished to a high standard. It was spotlessly clean. The owners are very friendly. Breakfast was delicious, with cerials, fresh fruit and a lovely full english. The room we had was the "Barley Room". It was large, tastefully appointed with a large comfortable bed. The Bathroom is en-suite and also large with a deep full sized bath and large walk-in shower. There is ample free parking. Although part of a working farm, it is a wondefully peaceful location, with lovely views over the countryside. There is a good pub restaurant called the Stumble Inn, part of a campsite, that is only two miles up the road, and other pubs and restaurants a few miles further away.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe Barn is impeccable in terms of quality, style and comfort whilst retaining its unique and original features. Me and my 14 year old daughter arrived after a very long drive from Manchester and were absolutely delighted as we drove towards the property. First impressions were amazing as we were met by Helen and provided with a tour, tea and local toasted cake, then options for dinner that evening. Our room was beautiful and extremely spacious with top quality tasteful decor and perfectly clean top quality bedding. Then, the breakfast(s). Omg! This for me was the highlight. John cooks up Mitchelin star quality English breakfasts, made with high quality local produce and delivered by Helen who is utterly charming without fail. The little extra touches with fresh eggs and herbs from the farm take this to a whole new level. As we stayed for a week, we were also offered alternative options of smoked salmon and avocado on toast and pancakes - which my daughter loved! We had the most wonderful holiday and The Barn for us was perfect. Helen and John made lots of suggestions for exciting places we could explore which ensured we made the most of every single day in Cornwall. We fell in love with Bude and Padstow and we even called into Clovelly on our way home!!
There was nothing not to like
Thank you so much for taking the time to do such a lovely review for us - really appreciate this. Hope we get to see you again one day, Very Best Wishes John & Helen

Verified reviewJohn & Helen are fantastic host's, from the moment we booked receiving load's of information from Helen about the surrounding Pub's, Restaurant's and Attractions that might interest us. John & Helen made a fantastic breakfast probably the best we have ever had when travelling and nothing was too much trouble, we had such a relaxing enjoyable stay, in a fantastic room within the amazing barn, that we will be booking again very soon. We have already recommended to our friends and family.

Verified reviewExcellent breakfast and wonderful array of options to suit all. Location was easy to find as host reached out prior to our stay and provided directions and recommendations for dining nearby. Helen and John are super friendly hosts as are their friendly farm animals. They also offered to give us a tour of the farm which was one of the highlights of our stay! Will definitely go back again next time in Cornwall.
Was not used to driving country roads but after a few miles, we got the hang of it and the farm was well sign posted.
