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...).

Rockvale house is a very comfortable b&b, the owners have a wonderfully personable and professional manner~ the perfect pitch to feel comfortable, looked after and at ease whilst staying at a b&b. The breakfast was all freshly home-made and absolutely delicious. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again! 😊

United States of AmericaEverything was perfect!
Ness & Phil were Exceptional Hosts — they really made me feel right at home and were so helpful during my stay. They really thought of everything. The room/bed/pillows were super cozy and comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional including the dining room and their attentive service. They had a surge protector with lots of outlets right next to the bed, so no problem charging my devices. They had milk in the fridge right near my room so I could add to the coffee I made in my room. They gave me advice (and pamphlets) on things to do in the area. And their cozy hotel was beautifully furnished and within walking distance of everything. The city center was literally a 1-2 minute walk away as was the beautiful "Valley of the Rocks" coastline trail. I will definitely visit them again and highly recommend staying there to all who visit Lynton or Lynmouth or Exmoor Park!

EstoniaExcellent location, magnificent views. The owners have gone the extra mile for guests to feel special - homemade bread, muesli, marmelades for breakfast. Very comfortable beds, extremely friendly, yet discreet owners. Quiet and intimate hotel. If we ever visit this part of UK again, we will definitely be staying there again.

SloveniaWe recently had the pleasure of staying for three days at a stunning Victorian-style Rockvale House bed and breakfast, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the kind and generous owners made us feel completely at home, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. The house itself is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture, with cozy, impeccably clean rooms adorned with great furniture that enhances the historic charm. The hot showers were a comforting end to our chilly evening walks in the scenic neighborhood. Breakfast each morning was a delightful affair with a variety of delicious options, perfectly starting our day. The views from the property are undoubtedly the best in town, offering a picturesque setting that is both tranquil and inspiring. The location is superb, with the unique addition of an old-style cinema just 50 meters away. We enjoyed a lovely evening watching a movie with locals, which added a special touch to our experience. The area around the property offers great walks, ideal for exploring the local beauty and serene landscape. This place not only provided a wonderful stay but also left us with beautiful memories. We are already planning our return to what we consider the best place we've stayed in. Highly recommend for an authentic and exceptionally comfortable getaway!

CanadaThat our stay was so short.
The breakfast options were far and above the usual fare offered at B&B’s. Each and every morning a perfect, individually prepared breakfast chosen beforehand was served, exactly when requested. A fresh bottle of water along with a chocolate was replaced each day for each of us. The hosts ensured that our every need was met.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be improved was the decor as it was a little dated. However everything else more than made up for that and I would definitely stay there again.
Great host - she was super friendly and helpful and was able to accommodate everything we asked for. Fantastic breakfast - the Eggs Benedict was excellent as to was the homemade bread and jams. Super location and parking - the location is superb - everything is within easy walking distance and the there was ample on site parking with CCTV security. Fab room - it was spacious, very quiet, clean and the bed super comfy.

United KingdomIt would have been even better if the sun had been out.
Great location, exceptional hosts, amazing breakfast. Room was comfortable clean and had all facilities available. Shower was great with an abundance of hot water all selection of soaps, shampoos provided. Phil and Ness greet you personally and do everything they can to make your stay the best experience. Ness adapted the breakfast to accommodate my dietary needs, and I didn't miss out on anything. The home made jam and marmalade is a delight in itself. There is a bar on the premises should you wish to partake, and nothing is too much bother. You are made to feel at home.
