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.).

We had an early check in and the room was perfectly clean and ready for us. The breakfast was everything you could want and the staff are not only very efficient but very friendly. This is the 5th time we have stayed in The George.

United KingdomEverything was just as it should be. Thoroughly recommended.
The George is a beautiful old building which has been very tastefully modernised in a way that loses none of its charm, but provides very modern facilities. I have stayed here a number times and have always been extremely satisfied. Every room that I have stayed in has been excellent, the staff are always very welcoming and friendly. Free parking is provided close to the rear entrance. The breakfasts have always been very good.

United KingdomI prefer deeper pillows - these were a little shallow for my liking.
Everything at the George feels very high quality - Harris Tweed furnishings, wonderful huge draping heavy curtains, thick cloth napkins, high quality bed linen. The breakfast was perfectly cooked and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomJust an observation, the floor in the room was quite uneven, but acceptable in an old building. Stairs were a bit awkward for someone with arthritic knees.
Lovely comfortable room. Excellent breakfast, where serving staff were friendly, helpful and accommodation. Cooked breakfast was superb! Thank you.

United KingdomThe George is an old hotel perfectly modernised. Everything in the hotel was to a high standard. We stayed in a deluxe room which was light and well-decorated with an extremely comfortable king-sized bed. There was a very modern bathroom/shower. The cooked breakfast was excellent (although, perhaps, the advertised continental breakfast could be more obviously available). This hotel is highly recommended. A final dining tip: look to eat in pubs and restaurants outside South Molton, where the dining is poor.

I was delighted with the large and comfortable room I had for my stay. The room was beautifully furnished, spacious and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfy and I was also impressed by how quiet the location was. The fact that there is no evening meal available didn't really impact my stay and there is the option to eat any takeaway food in the dining area. The breakfast was plentiful and well cooked. I found all the staff friendly and helpful. All in all a great place and excellent value for money.

United KingdomThere was a very steep short staircase up to my (attic) room (no. 11) that had no handrail, which I found tricky as I have arthritic knees. A bit dangerous. I did let the staff know that fitting a handrail would be a good idea.
I had a botanical skills assessment the next day so needed a good night's sleep, the room was very quiet so had a good rest after a long car journey. It was also much roomier than I expected, immaculate and well maintained right through and the staff were very welcoming and professional. The breakfast was promptly served and very good, the coffee was excellent and staff helped me a lot in checking my route to the village where my assessment was taking place - getting there on time was vital so I appreciated their assistance. They don't serve evening meals but do put out a place setting for people to eat takeaway dinners in comfort in their dining room. A very civilised and comfortable stay. I'd recommend the George to anyone. It suited my needs perfectly.

United KingdomOn-suite was fabulous apart from a square toilet seat, my bum isn't square and the sink was a little shallow for wet shaving but these definitely wouldn't put me off staying there again, it was a great room.
Breakfast was spot on, 4 days of full English went down well and set me up for the day. I had Room 3 a single occupancy room, the bed was very comfortable and the room was nicely decorated. TV, hair dryer and access to an iron and ironing board, with plenty of room to unpack, additional drawers under the bed was very useful. On-suite bathroom was very clean and well laid out with a super power shower installed.
