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 KingdomLane in is a bit narrow, but adds to the charm of the place.
The Higher Greenway Annexe is situated in a stunning location with beautiful views over the river Dart, very quiet and tranquil. There is a private terrance which makes the best of the views and a bit of a sun trap. There are lots of great walks direct from the property so did not need to use are car much.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t really like. The host had contacted us prior to the visit to explain that the second bedroom was really only for small children. However, our girls aged 16 and 10 managed with the small beds. The narrow roads leading to the property could pose a problem or nuisance to some drivers, but that’s all part of the secluded location and typical of that area in Devon.
The location of the apartment looking down on the River Dart and Steam train track was amazing. It could be viewed from the windows inside or a lovely secluded terrace area. Sunny weather meant we were able to enjoy this seating area too.

AustraliaLocation was fairly rural (which was great) but the property was difficult to find and the written instructions provided were certainly not clear enough. When we arrived, we had no idea which part was called the ‘annexe’: no signs, had to phone for advice. Surely a sign is not too difficult to provide. Never saw a person at all, so no ‘staff’ to rate really. 13 external steps to reach so not suitable for someone with a mobility impairment.
Spacious: 2 bedrooms with kitchen/dining/lounge area. Facilities: Kitchen had fridge and washing machine which we used. Nice view (but was too cold, rainy and windy to use outdoor area. The place is essentially a fully self-contained 2 bedroom unit so compared to our previous stays at places that are just (bedroom plus bathroom/toilet) it was great to be able to spread out. For us, it was an excellent place to stay.

United KingdomUnfortunately the spring mattress! It felt too 'boney' for me! I made a makeshift topper from one of the duvets, but I would suggest thick toppers on the single beds or replacing all of the mattresses in the appartment.
The view at the annexe is really special (the photos don't really do it justice). Even on a winters evening the sunset on the balcony was beautiful, and being able to stroll out of the door and go for a walk was a real joy! Great location, helpful hosts. Would happily stay again.

United KingdomNo negatives really, oven gloves would of come in useful and better bbq utensils.
The views are beautiful, kids (aged 4 & 6) liked seeing the train. Annexe was just the right size for the 4 of us and our young dog border collie. We enjoyed the use of the bbq and fire. Very peaceful not many people around. Owners were lovely and know the area and my husband was happy chatting about fishing with Charlie. We had a wonderful holiday.

United KingdomProvision of a few more cleaning products/essentials. As crazy as it sounds (who goes on holiday to clean?!), but a brush/dustpan, antibacterial spray for kitchen surfaces etc, spare tea towel and dish cloths.
The annexe is absolutely perfect! It's location is stunning. Remote, but only a short drive to nearest amenities. Overlooking the river Dart and the steam railway below, set high up in the woodland. Beautiful walks from the front door. Compact but big enough accommodation for a family of 4 and a dog! Comfortable, great shower, Sky TV with Sports and Netflix etc. The view from the window is AMAZING! Perfect little kitchen with washing machine, microwave, toaster, oven/hob.
