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 KingdomThere wasn’t any dislikes, the only recommendation I would say is that they could do with a folder with more/all instructions for electrical equipment, there was a one pager, but couldnt find any instructions on the cooker.
Spacious cottage set in a lovely location. Well equipped and clean.

United KingdomNeeds a lick of paint here and there at this price. Stripping our own beds into laundry bags was a first! We go away several times a year and have never come across this before, but it made us laugh! We were a bit scared of the long narrow track in case someone was coming the other way. It never happened but felt like a roller coaster ride every time 😳 😂
Very well kitted out with good quality kitchen ware and bedding. Lovely comfy sofa and big smart tv. Lots of room and our own garden. We loved the quiet with bird song and countryside views

United KingdomNeed a blind on the skylight window in second bedroom. Very small point, the cups/glasses smelt musty in the cupboards but ok after a quick wash. Didn't see any recycling bins, or info about it. Overall a great place to spend a few days.
The cottage was warm and welcoming with all mod cons, very comfortable living area. Bathroom was good nice shower/bath, also beds very comfortable. Ideal for a family break. Drive to Totnes about 15mins for any shopping etc....

Beautifully appointed apartment in a very quiet location. Fantastic kitchen with every possible appliance you might need. Lots of space with a nice little outside garden. Beautiful bathroom and comfortable beds. Very spacious apartment. Owners are exceptionally helpful and very responsive and quick to meet my requests. Living room very comfortable with comfy couches and Netflix for the children at the end of a long beach day. We really appreciated the bedroom fans they provided during the heat wave. Very comfortable stay with young children and our pet.

United KingdomWe took our own pillows (fussy!) and glad we did.. probably the only thing that lets the cottage down. The back garden looks onto a gas storage tank.. would be nice if that were fenced/ hedged in to disguise it.
Very cosy cottage, kitchen exceptionally well kitted out. Very lovely 'treats' for us on arrival. Plenty of towels and a big telly! Very thoughtful 'extras' such as tea-lights and blankets, ice in freezer etc. Brilliant coffee machine.

We were pleasantly surprised that the cottage was better even than the pictures and they looked good. It was very clean on arrival, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Everything was of a high standard. The owners were very nice and really helpful. Location is really good being central for the area. The roads are very narrow but we expected that. We'd definitely recommend it and will go back when we next go to Devon.
