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.).

AustraliaThe signage to Coombe Farmhouse was non existent.
It was very dark and quiet when we went to sleep. The breakfast was excellent and our ‘waiter’ was delightful. The host were very informative, about the history of Cornwall, places to eat and most see places.

United KingdomLovely 5 day stay at this gorgeous property with the most amazing couple hosting us. Thank you Rose and Keith, I will especially miss the delicious breakfast you prepared for us every single morning. We had bottled water provided daily, tea/coffee in the room, biscuits. Little extras that really do make a difference. Highly recommend this serene accommodation.

United KingdomThere is nothing negative to say about Coombe Farmhouse. It is in a wonderfully quiet location; which means that there is nothing around. No chance of popping out for a local meal or drink.
We were given a very warm welcome and breakfast was wonderful. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe location is some way from the nearest village / town so you have to use your car unless (like us) you are here for a walking holiday. However, this was what we expected so did not detract from our break one bit.
The location was idyllic in a beautiful area. Our room lovely with views of the countryside where we were due to walk the following day. The morning breakfast was superb (the hog sausage especially so!). After three days we were sorry to leave and would have loved to stay longer - will return here if we come back to this area. The proprietors were very welcoming and friendly

United KingdomWe could not find a fault with anything during our stay.
Breakfast was excellent and plenty of it to set you up for the day. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. All the facilities you needed were available. The countryside views were magnificent from our bedroom, with an abundance of wildlife to be seen. The hosts were very friendly and generous by nature, making us feel very welcome. Combe farmhouse felt at home, or may be even better.

United KingdomOmg! This must be hidden gem in this parts of Cornwall. The host was a lovely couple, they do really take an extra step to make you fell like at home. Beautiful countryside home in perfect location. Close driving distance to nearby towns and St Ives, yet outside in countryside in quiet and peaceful village. Plenty of parking space, rooms tidy, comfy bed and bathrooms, bathrooms looked like new :) Like this wasn't enough the best part has to come yet - The Breakfast! Locally sourced Bacon, Sausages, Eggs and home made bread. Fresh fruit and dairy. I kid you not best B&B breakfast I ever had, not some cheap supermarket carton sausages. The host was very attentive, advised on local gems to visit and even left us few Cornish Saffron cakes to go, which btw. was delicious. We are definitely coming back. Well done guys :) Jacek and Ilona

United KingdomWe were welcomed by Keith after he had given us directions to the location (even in the middle of the European Cup Final!) The B & B is situated off the beaten track in the country and was lovely and peaceful with great views from the windows. The breakfast was superb and Keith even got up very early on the first morning to accommodate our trip to the Scilly Isles. Both Keith and Ros made excellent hosts.
