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 KingdomSlightly confused by recyclable collection and we ended up leaving with some of the crates overflowing. There was mention of brown bags for cardboard but we couldn't find any. Not really a complaint but worth a mention as we were uncomfortable leaving it like that.
Fantastic comms with the hosts in the lead up to our stay. Welcome book was very useful with emergency contact numbers, instructions for use of appliances, details of location and things to do. Kindly provided soap/washing up liquid and other essentials for arrival. Brilliant idea to have a beach lending library of windbreaks etc. Very comfortable stay and a real home from home

United KingdomQuite a hill between the house and Ilfracombe Centre were a challenge but not a problem. No private parking but we were lucky to get 3 vehicles parked on the road outside.
Communications with host were excellent. The house was ideal for our stay with good views over the sea and a sunny garden at the rear.

Stayed with 3 friends. Good location. House was spacious. Clean and had everything we needed. Owners were excellent, great communication! We travelled to appledore, woolacombe and croyde. All easy to get to from ilfracombe. We ate at the lime kiln and the food was excellent. We also ate at a polish cafe in ilfracombe …. I can’t remember the name but the 3 cheese ciabatta and homemade coleslaw was amazing!!! Highly recommend….. I think it was called ‘j’s ‘ just up from costa on opposite side of road! We also had Sunday lunch at the beaver inn in appledore which was really great! Plus an amazing vanilla ice cream!!!! We’ve really had a great stay! The house was fabulous!

United KingdomMore seating in the lounge would have been handy.
Location amazing for dog walks, coastal path, only a short walk to the beach and town. Electric charging point at the leisure centre opposite was a bonus and easy to use. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom looked newly decorated and was very clean.

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay at ocean terrace. The house was spotlessly clean with everything we needed . There is no dedicated parking but there is on street parking which we always managed to get a space outside the house. Also there is a large carpark opposite if needed. Our hosts were absolutely brilliant. Communication was excellent. Overall we really loved our stay, we would highly recommend.

The house is very spacious and well equipped. Brilliant location, amazing views, and nice and cosy in the winter. So many beautiful walks on the doorstep. A 10ish min walk into town. Our son used the gym in the leisure centre across the road, and we loved the newly taken over Larkstone Cafe Bar, literally a 5 min walk from the house. We didnt eat there but the drinks were great!

United KingdomIf you wanted to walk into town it was a little hilly (we had a pushchair), but there are plenty of public footpaths and benches to break up the journey. No fault of the property, just something to be aware of.
Great location for both Ilfracombe and Woolacombe bay, good size rooms with comfortable furniture and lots of practical touches (coffee machine, cookware, variety of glasses, good sized fridge etc). Hosts were great at communicating and recommended plenty of activities, and were happy to answer questions ahead of our stay. Check in/ out was simple and always found parking easy.

United KingdomThe sofas in the living room are worn out, not very comfortable and clean. The garden is a bit of a challenge, but still great that it's there. Parking in front of the house is problematic (availability), but car park opposite the property is actually a better and cheap option.
Very helpful owner, quickly answered any questions. Great location. Very close to the coast path and to the port of the town. There is a car park opposite the property. The house is big, old but comfortable. Beautiful well equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms, large dining table (although we missed 2 chairs), living room very functional. Really a very recommendable place.

United KingdomThe decision not to include towels resulted in extra packing, extra laundry, and bringing wet items home on a long car journey, I think this should be reconsidered. Extractor fans in the kitchen and main bathroom would be useful.
Perfectly situated in walking distance of Ilfracombe with lovely sea views. It was great to have a garden and that our dog was allowed to stay with us. It is also very useful to have a well equipped kitchen and facilities such as the smart TV, washer and dryer, and dishwasher which are often lacking in holiday properties.
