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 are 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 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 KingdomI was happy with all my stay so not applicable.
I have stayed at the Longboat several times at this time of year and always enjoyed being there. A great team running this place. Nice rooms and nice breakfasts. Superbly located for Penzance railway station, bus station and Penzance itself. Appreciate the low key approach to New Year’s Eve. Could not recommend the Longboat more highly for an enjoyable stay in West Cornwall, with such an excellent location to explore much that this area has to offer.

United StatesThe Longboat is a classic British hotel/pub, with a friendly staff, wood paneled bar and comfortable rooms. The breakfast options were terrific, order anything on the menu and they can do a good espresso. Conveniently located across from the train and bus station.

It is a great location. The food and mocktails are delightful if you don't drunk like myself. However I wouldn't stay here again, it misses the hotel feel. Feels more like a bed and breakfast

United KingdomJust the noise outside. There was two layers of window but the outer window was open, and I couldn't work out how to close it. If I could have shut that window it would if been a lot quiter. Shower could of been a bit more powerful.
The room was lovely. Bed really comfy. Breakfast fantastic and the staff lovely too. Loved the unusual touch of the local town names for each room. The size of the shower was vast and the eco friendly toiletries a nice touch too. Fabulous black out curtain in the room. Location was perfect. Right next to the train station and town centre.

United KingdomCan't fault it
It was a pleasure to stay there. Felt at home and welcome from the start. The staff are all delightful. The food is great value for money ( especially for someone over 55 with a smaller appetite who appreciates their Golden Years option!). It is also well cooked and delicious.. The Sunday roast had that truly home cooked feeling. The room was comfortable and I slept like a log all 3 nights. It is conveniently close to the station and to the lively part of town. What's not to like?

Friendly, helpful and efficient staff; centrally located pub/hotel near station but also close to car parks; room clean and of a good size with fair sized en-suite. Breakfast (optional) was excellent and my partner and I dined in one evening -food impressive and a very decent menu. All in all a thoroughly pleasant experience.
