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 KingdomThe only real issue we had was that the en suite shower was very tricky to get the right temperature, often switching between very hot and very cold.
Lovely, clean and stylish property. Whilst only one parking space available, there’s plenty of reasonable car parks around.

United KingdomIt is a steep walk up and down to get to the apartment when walking a round Ilfracombe. Aside from that, it was very nice.
Interesting location, a very steep hill to drive and walk up and down to. I really enjoyed the apartment, it was very clean, tidy, well decorated and designed, and had enough utilities to use, such as cooking and cleaning stuff.

It is very well located for coastal walks or the beach/harbour, there is one parking space and we found a street where we could park our second car behind lidl.

United KingdomWe liked it all, but would make it even better is a little bit more attention for detail in the bathrooms when cleaning (black mildew/mould in the nooks and crannies) and may need brand new toilet bushes. Apart from this, it was a dream and we loved it. We will definitely come back.
This pretty apartment was cosy, stylish, roomy, warm and it had great kitchen facilities. It was also in a great location, not far from the centre or the harbour. Once we parked up, we did not have to use the car again. The views were stunning and even when the weather was a bit wet or drab outside, it did not matter as the views made up for it.

United KingdomWe didn't like having to leave. Would've stayed longer if possible.
The apartment was the most comfortable place we have ever stayed. It had absolutely everything you could possibly want from towels, iron and ironing board to beach toys, games and books. The owner was amazing and we could contact her with any questions we had. The views were fantastic and the apartment was located in the heart of Ilfracombe with a perfectly located parking bay. You could stay there and not even need to drive as everything was within walking distance. We will definitely be staying here the next time we are in the area.

Communication with Fiona was quick and easy. There was tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for us when we arrived. It was so easy to find the parking spot even in the dark and rain! It was a really good base while we attended a wedding. The apartment was spacious, clean and has AMAZING views!
