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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

GuernseyThere is a bit of noise as you’re on a main road.
Had everything we needed, it was a home from home. The bed was very comfy as were the two sofas in the lounge.

United KingdomThe only fault the beds we had were two singles zipped together which caused poor sleep as bouncing when one person turned over! But this was minor and the bedrooms are beautiful. Maybe the bottom sheet over both beds was too tight?
The flat is beautiful, clean and well thought out. Fab location. The fizz in fridge was a lovely touch. Thankyou

United KingdomThe location suited us very well as the North Devon and North Cornwall coast are our favourite go to places. We couldn't fault the accommodation, everything you could wish for. The bottle of Prosecco was a lovely welcome touch which we much appreciated. Thank you, we aim to return in the future.

United KingdomNothing to dislike
Beautifully decorated cosy little flat with everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Communication from Claire and Drew was very good, we were asked how we wanted the second bedroom configured which was great as we were a party of 2 couples. Clear instructions provided for check in. Flat is in a lovely location, just wish we had a longer stay. We defiantly want to return to the area and this lovely little gem of a flat will be our first choice. Thank you both for a lovely stay we hope to come back soon.

United KingdomNothing - everything was great!
Beautiful flat - decorated and kitted out to a high standard, lovely finishing touches (eg Christmas decorations - we stayed over NYE). Plenty of space for us (2 adults and 1 child age 4). Great location - short drive to the beach which was great for some windy walks and exploring the sand dunes (would also be fine to walk in nicer weather). The owners were very response on messages and lovely to deal with. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! Loved it all 😊
The property was in a great location just of of the main road but wasn’t too noisy. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and felt like a home. The owners had put together some nice ideas of places to visit and eat and we had a lovely meal at The Boathouse in Instow which was recommended. The communications with the owners was always prompt and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again in the future

United KingdomThere is absolutely nothing that I did not like.
The flat was spotlessly clean and had all you needed to make you feel at home. There were a lot of things made available as infusions, a coffee machine, hot chocolate sachets, and even a bottle of bubbly in the fridge. The beds were so comfortable! I was also touched by the fact that the owners had acted on the comments of different people to make the flat even better. I would definitely recommend the place to other people if they are to come to this part of England, and would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomThere wasn't much not to like. The only thing we could have done with some condiments for our meals..
We had a wonderful stay, my friends travelled from Stoke On Trent, I was able to check in advance to prepare for a surprise for their arrival after our horse riding. The beds were extremely comfortable, all the rooms were tidy and neat. We visited the local areas and returned from Appledore via the Ferry, which was great fun
