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 KingdomIt is an old shop, so the large windows are not at all sound proof in either bedroom. You sleep metres away from a busy roundabout, which is on an incline so vehicles accelerate to pass it. Depends why you are used to but we slept very badly. Also the street lamp lights the room at night!
Very well equipped, comfortable and great proximity to the harbour etc.

United KingdomIt is located near a busy roundabout, which is very noisy at night as both bedrooms are located in the front. For a light sleeper like me it was quite difficult to get a good night sleep however my wife and kids weren't disturbed by the noise they slept like logs.
Modern, clean, and comfy feel. All the amenities you require are available such as washing machine, microwave, cooker, smart Tv, Tassimo with complimentary pods provided and lovely showers with good water pressure. A beautiful garden which we didn't make most off due to the weather elements during our stay. Location is great. Walking distance to all the major tourist attractions and supermarkets like Lidl, Co-op and Morrisons.

United KingdomThe property is situated on a really busy road; traffic lights and junction. The bedrooms are Located at the front of the property with single glazed windows that are not sound proofed. We could not sleep due to traffic and we ended up moving to the sitting room to sleep. We vacated the property a day early as a consequence. To be fair to Tom, the owner, he called and was so apologetic and responsive. He went out of his way to explain how he was going to act on the feedback. The window will be triple glazed at a considerable cost; clearly the owner cares about the customer and has taken the feedback to heart.
Really well appointed property. Lots of care and thought put into making sure everything needed was there.

United KingdomOutside noise from early in the morning may be an issue for light sleepers. Both bedrooms are situated at the front of the property which is on a busy road. Both bedroom showers are raised with a steep step down to the floor - could be a problem for someone with mobility issues No bath mat so bought my own Bedroom to left of front door on entry- one of the bedside lamp leads was too short to reach plug as previously noted on another review Items of clothing from previous occupants still in wardrobe-letting agency notified Dining room window needs a curtain or blind Back door catch kept sticking - noted on a previous review Approx 6 inch step leading down from dining room into kitchen is not immediately obvious- have suggested a safety notice.
Spacious, 2 self contained bedrooms. Kitchen contained everything we needed. Reasonably close to town, public car park a short walk away

United KingdomBit noisy with traffic in the night, but we live on a quiet country lane, and the accommodation is on the main road into town so hardly unexpected really. Bedside lamps not plugged in and leads no long enough to rectify (odd) !
Only a short walk to the town centre. Excellent communications......we left a charging lead behind that was found and posted back to us, so above and beyond expectations.

United KingdomIt was on a very busy roundabout that goes in and out of town, so not ideal for dropping off and picking up luggage but we managed no bother, just put our hazards on. No parking as stated but we found a space up the road less than 5 mins walk. The front of the property looks ghastly because it’s so dirty but once you open the door it’s lovely.. Yes the traffic going by is noisy as stated in previous comments but I took my ear buds and I slept soundly every night.
Great location for easy walking into town and harbour. Great bus service just across the road. Lidl 5 mins walk away. Lovely bedding and towels. All clean and tidy. Great to have your own ensuite in both bedrooms. Blackout curtains. Well equiped kitchen.

AustraliaIt would have been nice to have a dishwasher. The apartment is in an old shop and the bedrooms are on the roadside and there is a bit of road noise. Would have been nice if it was double glazed. On saying that the kitchen and lounge areas were spacious and very comfortable.
Walking distance to amenities and attractions. On the edge of town. Had great cooking and washing facilities. Both bedrooms were ensuited. We had an issue with the power buy the manager was prompt in dealing with the issue and made sure we were taken care of which we really appreciated. Would stay again if in North Devon.

United KingdomHowever this is not an apartment as listed but a converted shop - both bedroom were in the windows - these had very large single pain glass windows that had been covered in a plastic film. It was extremely noisy as they were right next to the pavement on a main road with a drain outside that clanked every time a vehicle went over, you also heard all the pedestrians talking/shouting as they went past which also left us feeling very venerable. The bathroom in the main bedroom must have an ongoing leak problem, there was black mould at the bottom of the shower and every time you opened the door it smelled extremely fousty. It was a real shame as the photos made it look very nice. I have attached photos
. This is obviously a new conversion and the accommodation had been decorated nicely and well stocked with crockery, glasses and utensils. It was comfy and we had everything we needed.

United KingdomNot a perfect place for family with kids. Huge road vehicles and public noise did not let us sleep properly. The large window was single glazing or not appropriate for people to stay there in a quiet environment. Back door was not easy to open. The beds were not comfortable and also the quality of the sofa was very poor. Also, there was no free parking near by - all parkings were taken by residents. So, the information on free parking was not right. I had to park 15 minutes walking away and then again in the early morning by 8am I had to go to the car to park in another free place - it was quite nightmare experiences.

United KingdomThere is no, or little, on street parking, although there is a pay and display car park around the corner. What on street parking there is nearby seemed to be taken by the locals, which is fair enough.
The apartment was very comfortable and all rooms well furnished. Kitchen was fully equipped and sorry we only really used it at breakfast time. Could easily have made lots of meals but going out to eat was too good to pass up, with so many lovely restaurants and walking to town was a piece of cake. Also, the buses are regular and the stop practically on doorstep.
