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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomWould have appreciated oven gloves!!
It was beautifully appointed and decorated in keeping with the coastal location. Spacious, well stocked with all we needed for our stay, especially as I was going to a wedding at The Tunnels. I always feel that if it were to rain and rain all day through our stay would I feel I was on holiday if I had to stay in and the answer here is definitely yes!

United KingdomWrong postcode advertised and difficult to find the property and lock box especially in the dark. Would recommend that a photo of the front door be put on the advert, so that guests know what to look for, together with the correct post code. Then private message people with lock box location
Good layout. Bed comfortable and clean. Kitchen well stocked with equipment. Nice enclosed back garden ideal if taking a dog. Excellent location.

United KingdomBit of a trek from car to cottage if you needed to carry anything heavy. The shower was excellent but always nice to have the choice of a bath (no bath).
Beautiful little cottage tucked away down a small lane. Very private with our own dedicated parking space. Immaculately decorated and sparkling clean with everything we needed for a short break. Heating was excellent and the bed was super comfy. We found the property owners to be extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Our dog had a lovely time too. Really enjoyed Ilfracombe and the surrounding beaches. Would recommend to anyone for value for money and every convenience. :) 10/10

United KingdomThe postcode given on the confirmation was incorrect, and took us quite a distance away from the location. (EX 34 8BB actual postcode was EX34 9BB) More specific info on key lock location would have also been good as it was dark when we arrived. Would have been nice to have a bath but that's a personal preference.
location was ideal as very close to the coast and center of town.
