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.).

Our second stay. Very clean and comfortable, excellent views, nice welcome pack wine, biscuits, peanuts, great welcome back from Kath and Kevin bonus this year we got to use the washer in the garage which was a big help as stayed for two weeks. Love the dogs Finley and Bertie. Loved sitting outside on the patio and bench taking in the views.

United KingdomWas very dusty, lots of spiders and cobwebs everywhere, skirting boards and blinds were dirty. Maybe just needed a good spring clean. WiFi a bit hit and miss and couldn’t get any of the apps to work on tv (Netflix, paramount etc.) plug in bathroom didn’t work as seal missing, and could have done with some extra towels.
Lovely property, great location as was near family. Hosts were very friendly, had everything you would need as a base. Nice decor, can see it had been newly renovated. Gardens beautiful and nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Tea, coffee and a bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Just remember to bring some milk!

United Kingdomnothing of note.
The most comfortable and well-appointed bedroom you could wish for. Peaceful, great views and super comfortable bed with lovely linen. Kitchen had everything you need and a few other bits, olive oil, teabags, a nice touch (plus a bottle of wine on arrival) Great location, parking excellent, you can walk to the beach and also a short drive to shops etc. We walked to Brixham and got the bus back which stops around the corner.

United KingdomThe only thing was the central heating never seemed to reach the set point but that maybe me. I have a hive system at home so I am used to it.
Clean, I liked the extra touches wine, shower gel. Lovely powerful shower. I liked the quietness of the surroundings first time in years I heard an owl hoot.

Everything about Chauffeurs cottage was brilliant. From the well equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable bed, lovely shower room nothing was amiss every thing that we could possibly have needed was there. Plus there was a bottle of wine and a box of stollen as an arrival gift. We will definitely be back at some point .

United KingdomI take my own footstool because I like to put my feet up but this is personal choice, not a dislike atall.
Second stay here for us and once again we loved it. The bed is so comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and everything you'll need. The shower is hot and water pressure is fab. Such a cosy, well decorated, comfortable cottage. We just love it! The owners are great and very friendly but certainly not overbearing. The view is lovely and the stargazing is awesome because it's lovely and dark. TV, electric fire, central heating, double glazed windows. Parking immediately outside. 100% recommend. Paignton is 5 mins drive. Brixham is 5 mins drive also. Dartmoor is 20 odd miles Torquay is 6 miles. There is a convenience store and cafe just up the road. Perfect!

As soon as we looked around the cottage we felt at home. The welcome pack was a real treat and everything we could possibly require was supplied which was great.The view of the coastline from the bedroom was wonderful to wake up to each morning. To see the stars at night was lovely.Location was superb as we were able to walk to coastal paths and also use public transport to visit Brixham and Paignton.
