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.).

United KingdomThe stairs were a bit of a challenge for me as I have a lung condition, but once at the top, and seeing that view made it all worthwhile!!
Perfect location to explore North Devon. View from the balcony was exceptional. The apartment was clean and comfortable and the host had thought of literally everything that we might need. Even games and books and dog treats and brush. My husband didn't even put the TV on which is a first!. There was lots of information available about places of interest and eating places in the Area which was helpful The carvery at Williams Arms was fabulous and worth the 20 minute car ride.

United KingdomNoisy seagulls from early morning, but hosts supplied earplugs ! No elevator, but we knew that before booking
Location was excellent. High up on cliff overlooking rocky shore and the sea. We were delighted to watch the sunset from the apartment's balcony. Close to the harbour and many restaurants and cafes. Super comfortable bed and very well equipped kitchen area.

United KingdomAnxiety with parking 🅿️ spaces went quick, but managed to park ever night.. Free parking was from 6pm-10am so figured get there at 5pm then you bag your 1hr free parking and leave at 11am to do the same.. Is a car park over the road which was very cheap like £9 for 24hrs..
Fantastic location to explore Ifracombe. Views were amazing from apartment!!

United KingdomThe stairs were a challenge (even our dog stopped at No3 after a while). We were aware of them before we arrived so we were prepared for them.
Great location with fantastic views across the bay. All amenities were catered for. Owner made sure everything was in place, with additional touches (Christmas dec’s and mince pies).

United KingdomThe noise from seagulls, church bells and people outside at night time and in the early morning. Although, julie had thought of this and provided us with ear plugs. These were a good addition and helped us sleep through the noise.
The property has everything you need to make you feel at home. The extra touches were well thought out and the apartment was comfortable and warm. The views from the balcony were amazing and really made it for us!

United KingdomMy biggest gripe wasn’t so much about the property but the fact that it lacked its own parking space. If you could find a parking space outside then you could only park for one hour! You then had to move it for the rest of the day to a chargeable car park! If you are happy to factor in a daily charge of £15 then that’s fine but if you have anything heavy to carry then you won’t be too pleased?!
The properties location on the seafront was lovely and it had everything you needed to fully enjoy your stay.

United Arab EmiratesNothing, we loved everything about it! Some reviews people moaning about the stairs but you don't get the view otherwise ! Parking could be an issue for some but more than enough in and around the harbour if you look.
If you are thinking about booking this property, STOP THINKING and book it now! We come from a city that has 7* hotels. All I can say is this was very much up there. We had a full itinerary booked for the 3 days but I wish we actually had one full day just to chill and enjoy the apartment! It was well equipped, and the welcome cupcakes went down a treat! Julie has really gone above and beyond with this little gem. It was so cozy, clean and modern but classy loved the attention to detail! I wish we had stayed longer! The view was better than the photos, which is just breathtaking. Can't wait to book it again! Thank you for having us! - from Dubai x

United KingdomThe climb up the stairs is hard work - but definitely worth it!
The view from the balcony is amazing, and the location right next to the harbour is great. The property was well equipped, clean and comfortable (it might be a bit cosy for 4 adults, but was perfect for 2).
