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 KingdomFantastic Hosts. We were both made to feel welcomed. The location is brilliant and there's plenty to see. The facilities were of a high standard and the breakfast was to die for. I would highly recommend booking this establishment and engage with the hosts as soon as possible. As a vegan they contacted me straight away and made me feel valued before I even arrived.

Superb. Traditional bed and breakfast done perfectly. In a thatched cottage that started out as a farmworker’s house that has been added to over time. Situated along a ridge overlooking a pretty rolling valley, deep in the Devon countryside, amidst Devon lanes, sheep, cows and horses. The owners are delightful, and immediately found us good pubs to have dinner at a couple of miles away when we arrived late. We had a big room at the upstairs front, with a deliriously comfortable king-sized bed and soft carpet. Best night’s sleep we had in England. Absolutely quiet. Good bathroom with good shower, also a bath. Everything immaculately clean. Power points on both sides of the bed. Nice shared sitting room downstairs. Superb full English breakfast with local and hand-made ingredients, excellent coffee and real juice, in a glazed breakfast room, looking onto the countryside. We were there only one night but it would a great place to settle in to detox and explore rural Devon. Excellent value for money.

United KingdomDifficult to find any negative comments. Perhaps a second chair in the already well equipped bedroom and would prefer mugs to drink tea but we are in the realms of being nit-picky.
Excellent breakfast with a good menu choice. Comfortable bed and first rate ensuite facilities. The hosts were friendly, accomodating and informative. Superb views from the property and interesting group of livestock both domestic and itinerant.

United KingdomThe whole stay was an amazing experience. The countryside views to the bedroom and ensuite. Could sit in the garden was hours admiring the lands for miles. Not to mention the beautiful horses, sheep, peacocks and geese that were within touching distance. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much for them. The breakfast was delicious, such a great selection. Put a smile on my face when I walked into the bedroom to find Lindt Chocolates on each side of the bed tables. The beds were so comfortable and the ensuite was nice, clean and tidy too as well as the bedroom. The tea and coffee station in the bedroom had a great variety of drinks to make and even come with biscuits! Honestly, the best B&B I've ever stayed in. I definitely would recommend and stay at again on my next trip to Devon.
