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.).

United KingdomHotel was dirty, and very tatty at the front The outdoor bar area was overgrown and needed attention which was a shame as beautiful location. Bedroom windows very close to members of public walking by. I especially did not appreciate the high charge for my 2 tiny dogs and the way the receptionist argued that all the hotels around there charge that amount. I pointed out that the Pike and Eel that is close by do not and she said she would check that, clearly not believing me! The bar was overpriced to for the look and comfort
The location Close to river and pretty views

United KingdomHotel looks to be going through renovations, looks unfinished, but also the parts that still need updating are in need of a clean. The hotel appears understaffed but they are doing their best to keep everyone happy
Location is superb. St Ives is a beautiful historic town. The hotel has potential to be great

United KingdomI think rooms allocated to those with dogs are not as nice as others. Ours faced scaffolding when I'm sure the hotel was not full. Room was fine but given the location i'm sure we could have had a better view. It felt as if transition was happening at the hotel, so wasn't quite finished. Breakfast had most things you'd want but the hot food was not quite hot. However we were late risers, so might not have been like this for others. Breakfast time finished too early. Think it was here that you had to get out of bed to turn off your bedside lamp.
Great staff, room as you'd expect and bed comfy. The hotel welcomes dogs. Location fantastic.

United KingdomCould not fill kettle in room because did not fit under basin tap. Could only fill using the cups. Breakfast was sought of ok. Product was slow to be replenished - had to wait for 10 minutes for bacon. External areas to property look tired. Overall did not think £149.00 price was justified.
Room was clean and comfortable.
