Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing, everything was great!
Little Woodacott is a beautiful cottage with the woods and a river at its doorstep. Everything you need is there and Mary makes sure you feel welcome by leaving home made scones and cookies. Even my dog Charlie got a bag of treats and she was so happy running freely around the grounds. Mary and Harley's hospitality and kindness is one of a kind and I will certainly go back to stay in this little paradise. Thanks so much for everything it was a memorable stay

United KingdomWe loved everything about this place. There is nothing we would change.
Woodacott is a beautiful, well equipped, cottage in the woods. Truly wonderful, with an abundance of nature of your doorstep and the stunning North Devon coastline, just a short drive away. Mary and Harley were great hosts (together with the wonderful Bingo and Toby), and the little personal touches here, make you feel very welcome indeed. It feels like how life should be - no traffic, no noise, except for nature's chirpings and the distant sound of the stream flowing along. Totally magical. We didn't want to leave.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like!
The cottage was perfectly equipped, tastefully decorated, comfortable and generally lovely. The location in the woods, with a lovely walk down a winding path leading to a river was really beautiful and peaceful. The hosts were so kind, generous, helpful and welcoming. They had laid out a cream tea for our arrival and supplied fresh milk and drinks for us which was so sweet and thoughtful. They have two dogs who would come often to say hello who were very sweet and well behaved and no trouble at all. The place was well situated for lots of short drives to beautiful locations in the area.

The property is lovely. It had everything you need and more. The little welcome gifts (milk, cake, popcorn and even a couple of soft drinks in the fridge) were a lovely touch. We also enjoyed seeing Bingo and Toby (the owners dogs) who visited us a couple of times.

I found Mary and Harley fantastic hosts making the experience unique with their lovely treats on arrival .. and ensuring condiments and cleaning products were all available. A true little pocket of magic, tucked away and having their own forest that we were able to explore with our dogs only to find a magical stream that resembled a fairy escape ... definitely booking here again .. xx
