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...).

United KingdomI had thought it had windows over the Guild Hall but it didn’t which was disappointing as my guests had mobility issues. Maybe this could be made clear in the description. Concerned about the fire escape - no access to escape the building fully only into a tiny yard in middle of buildings. Bit confused about the heating controls. Maybe bedroom windows could be made openable?
Great location for Flora Day.

United KingdomIt was quite difficult to activate the front door for access the timing for the reaction was very brief, therefor denying access. the activation buzz seems to be slightly too short. we only worked it out with one person on the door ready to push while the other person puts the code in. also the access door to the apartment you need to explain that the door only opens if you turn the handle /lock to the right. we tried ringing and messaging the agency but they did not ring us back until the next morning so we would have been locked out of the property all night with no where to go. there is no instant access to an agent when things go wrong like they did with us I think you need to put a serious system in place for emergency help as in the info folder you said we have 24 hour access to the agent . we tried to work out the doors before locking ourselves out but we could not work it out so one person had to remain in the property to keep access to the property overnight , not an ideal way of starting the long weekend with family .since leaving i have also messaged the agent twice now as we have left some prescription sun glasses in the apartment and i am trying to get them sent back by housekeeping and have said where they are exactly and i am willing to reimburse the postage but no one again is responding the messages via booking .com You also need to include the fact that it is not disabled friendly and the stairs are extremely steep, with only 1 grab rail We had 2 people in our party with mobility issues and had to limit themselves to either staying in all day or staying out most of the time and limiting their use of the stairs. Free WIFI to the apartment would be great but you really need to get a booster as it does not work in the back bedroom. A few hangers in the back bedroom would be useful to hang clothes or coats on as there are none at all in the living area or the back bedroom.
once you get in the paperwork for all the appliances was very helpful but we ate out mostly. as we were visiting family in the area. The apartment is comfortable and Just big enough to accommodate 4 adults. although the living area is cramped with 4 adults better for 2 children and 2 adults. The appliances we needed to use worked well

United KingdomPretty well happy with our stay but if we had to pick something (and being really picky) the front door from the street didn't close on it's own to a fully locked state. We didn't struggle with either pushing or pulling the door to but the residents in the adjacent flat did....
A clean, well equipped and modern flat superbly located for us as we were visiting somebody who lives in Helston and meant easy to meet up and go our separate ways at the end of the day. Aside from that made a great location to strike out from in it's own right, from a plethora of really good pubs on the doorstep to jumping on the bus to Porthleven, Praa Sands and Falmouth.

United KingdomCouldn't open bedroom windows so too hot at night Noise from the pigeons living below the netting!! Kept landing on window ledges at night and cooing. Woke us up. Only 1 wardrobe so had to share. Inconvenient as we were not "a couple", and were using both rooms Flat could do with a some hooks on doors to hang clothes I.e.bathroom and each bedroom. Nowhere to hang wet coats!! There was a lot of base music heard at night, coming from somewhere nearby. Interrupted sleep. The car park at Weddron St was in fact 12 hour stay not 24 hrs so had to keep moving t h e car during our stay. . Inconvenient.
Well-equipped and very clean. Nice touch of snack pack and toiletries Keyless check in Central

United KingdomThe outlook outside the bedroom and lounge windows wasn't the best .But as a base for visiting resorts etc was good. Think the mattresses and pillows need protectors.

United KingdomThe beds are very soft. Too soft for our liking. Very noisy seagulls each morning, which is just one of those things. No fault of the owner.
Very clean and fresh. Well equipped.

United KingdomOn arrival - both bedrooms were immaculate. The bathroom was completely untouched from previous guest. Unflushed toilet with wee in it. Little toilet roll left. Previous guest towels and bathmat on floor - see photos. Shower cubicle with handwash from the sink in shower tray. The kitchen also not cleaned - previous guest/s saucepan, bowl and mug still by cooker plus crumbs in and around the toaster. I called twice to report - no answer when we arrived so called next morning and explained. The gentleman said he would alert owners and email me right away so I could attach time stamped photos of the uncleaned areas. No email was received. (A couple of photos attached below. )
Location, layout, decor, heating, very comfortable bedrooms.
