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 KingdomPoor old Ilfracombe seems a bit down on its luck since my last visit 17 years ago, but the harbour area and beaches are still fine.
Violetta was a perfect hostess. Nothing too much trouble. The hotel was scrupulously clean and the price was very fair. The breakfasts were faultless!

United KingdomComing home!
Everything! The husband and wife team who run the b&b were fantastic! Nothing was too much effort. Chatty, friendly, knowledgeable about the area and happy to assist with anything to make the trip enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bed and pillows were super comfy! Great shower, with lovely smelling shampoo, body wash and hand soap provided. They had the best stock of tea, coffee and little milks in the room - I drink lots of tea (as do the rest of the group!) Breakfast was fabulous. Toast and cereal available as a self serve and a choice of cooked breakfasts available to order. Parking is also available. A good sized, spacious car park. The b&b is close to the harbour, which is lovely! 5 mins drive from Hele and 15 mins drive from Combe Martin. I would absolutely recommend this b&b. We had the most fantastic stay and would love to visit again! Thank you for making our weekend so fantastic!

A lovely little room in Ilfracombe! I stayed here because I was attending a wedding at the Tunnels Beaches venue and the location was excellent! Right across the road. The room itself was spacious, the bathroom was small but fine - shower pressure and temperature were great. The owner was fabulous! So incredibly friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order =) I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend.
