Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Jerry and Sal were very warm, friendly and helpful. They were happy to give advice on places to visit, the best places to park and to eat out. We had lots of choice for breakfast and it was local, fresh produce, cooked well.

United KingdomOnly that Booking.com don’t take payment and the property don’t take card. But that’s more on me for not reading in advance.
The Fig Tree is a short drive from Falmouth town centre and located in some beautiful countryside. It was raining on arrival and I was welcomed at the entrance and given tea and cake. The property is stunning. If you want quiet and peaceful this is for you. Very beautifully decorated and maintained. Excellent breakfast / relaxation room area. But the best for me was the bed. Firm mattress rather than the soft rubbish which cripples my back. Superb breakfast too. This place is a 10/10 gem.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
This is a beautiful house in a great location with a good view. The hosts have been very thoughtful in how they have presented the room with lots of unique touches including a daily gift of home baked cakes. It was very comfortable and they provided a big breakfast with a great selection which was first class. They were helpful with suggestions for the local area. This was a first class accommodation and certainly great value for money, so thank you for. making my daughter's birthday and graduation day very special. Very highly recommend.

Fig Tree House was a little piece of heaven. The setting is incredibly serene, surrounded by lush greenery, and the hosts, Sal and Chris, were absolutely perfect. If you’re in need of some quiet time, this is definitely the place to relax, recharge, and detox.

United KingdomMy bedroom was near the dining room and was a bit noisy when people had breakfast at 7.00 am. You could hear people moving about on the ceiling above early in the morning. It was a twin room. I always find the duvet slips off single beds in the middle of the night. Maybe a double bed upstairs would have been even better!
Location, breakfast, friendly proprietors.

The figtree House was set in a lovely location with a beautiful well kept garden. Plenty of parking space on the off road drive way, A very spacious breakfast/lounge room with lovely views all around and very light and airy. Also with very comfortable sofas to relax into, with a wood burner that would be very inviting in the cooler months. Lovely decor throughout and the bedrooms had everything you needed with a modern on suite . The breakfast was amazing, 5 star! And plenty of it Lovely personal touches, Sally gave us homemade cakes and drinks on arrival and the following day, a great treat! We we're made to feel very welcome and felt very comfortable staying there. A wonderful weekend away 😃

Extra nice touch was the cake to have with afternoon tea when one got returned from days activity. For families with children there is a Zip Wire centre in an old quarry just up ghe road.
