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.).

A very clean spacious home - it is home from home. Very well presented and looked after by two very nice gentleman who know exactly how to make you ‘feel at home’ very quickly. Great hosts. And space to park FREE at the property which is rear in Ilfacoombe. Also very close to the centre and very close to the Tunnels Beaches which was excellent for us.

United KingdomThe hotel is beautifully decorated and is in the perfect location, but what absolutely makes this stand out above the competition is the friendly team there. Andrew and Nick are just the most welcoming hosts, they have made sure that they have thought of all your needs when they put their rooms together. A really lovely spot, very central and convenient, and absolutely spotless. Also, the breakfast is amazing.

We have just returned from our 2 night stay at the Grosvenor, which is absolutely fabulous. On arrival Andrew and Nick met us and made us very welcome and relaxed, The warm scones with cream and jam you are given on arrival is a welcome treat.The property is beautifully decorated, clean and spacious, this is the same throughout the property. I requested flowers to be put in our room as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary, the flowers they chose were very much appreciated by my wife, not only that they topped it off by bringing a bottle of bubbles on ice presented in a beautiful ice bucket. Breakfast is excellent and you just choose what you want from the menu and it is cooked perfectly with good produce. The location is perfect to walk to all areas of interest. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel. Kevin and Grace.

What an amazing place to stay! Andrew and Nick have managed to make Grosvenor House the equivalent of a small Boutique hotel! Nothing was too much trouble from the moment we arrived. From helping us to bring our luggage in from the car, scones and cream brought to our room on arrival, and the the amazing breakfasts every day. We have nothing but praise for this incredible Guest House. The room was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, fluffy white towels in the ensuite and an extremely comfortable bed. This was the best Guest House we have ever stayed in, we could not fault it.

The room was fresh and clean, breakfast was really good, the house is within walking distance from bus stops, beaches, shops, restaurants, theatre, etc. yet situated in a quiet street. Ilfracombe has a lot to offer and the area is stunning. Our hosts Andrew and Nick made our stay even more special. A very warm welcome awaited us, including a Cornish cream tea. Hospitality at its best throughout our stay.
