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...).

United KingdomIt was a bit of trial and error to get to the right temperature in the shower but that’s expected on the top floor of a 3 bed property such as this. Honesty, it wasn’t a deal breaker. If we are ever in the area again, we’d stay here, no questions asked.
The property is beautiful, inside and out. Every room is decorated to a high standard, and feels expensive! The garden has a natural and ‘fairy-like’ feel, but is well maintained, and so relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, we slept very well for the 4 nights we stayed. Their dedication to the environment, being sustainable, recycling, locally sourced produce etc. is a lovely touch. There is a great selection for vegetarians/vegans/other dietary requirements at breakfast - this is certainly not an afterthought like many places I have been to, and is one of the reasons I chose to stay here. Meat eaters (like my partner) will also never go hungry - the sausages and bacon received rave reviews. The hosts are extremely attentive and genuinely seem to love what they do. They are knowledgable about the area and can recommend many things to do in town and surrounding areas. From the moment we arrived, we instantly felt at ease and we were welcomed into their home with open arms.

Easy parking, excellent breakfast, room was clean nicely decorated. Lewis & James were very accommodating. Unfortunately I was taken ill during our stay and I can’t thank Lewis & James enough for their hospitality especially with Alison having to stay in the hotel on her own.

The host James which was on his own the weekend we’ve visited even went the extra mile and offered us a delicious almond cake.

United KingdomThe only very minor downside was the shower - the pressure was not the best and dropped out a bit (as did temperature). Would 100% come back!
Lewis was a fantastic front of house host and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a great one. There were some really lovely personal touches that made it extra special, like home made cookies in our room on arrival. We were in the smallest room in the property I think, but it was still a decent size for a couple nights and it was comfortable. The TV was good, with lots of smart TV options. The property had reasonably priced drinks, either in the mini fridge or in the bar downstairs which works on an honesty system, so it was lovely to be able to chill out in front of the telly after a long day out and about. Plus, they had loads of books and DVDs that you could borrow. I particularly liked the decor, it was really boutiquey and a little different. The breakfast was AMAZING!! A real highlight, again - lots of home made tasty goodies, but also really delicious cooked options including lots of vegan and veggie options, all made to order. Parking was also good, a few spaces at the property and plenty more just over the road. Location really handy - a short stoll in to town.

United KingdomWow! is what best describes Lewis & James’s place. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay with perfect hosts then this is the place for you. Beautiful decor all through the house and bedrooms. All the bathroom products are sustainable products down to ‘who gives a crap’ toilet rolls. I’d forgotten my shampoo but noticed the little slab of Devon soap that said you could wash your hair with it and I thought no way only to eat my words as it was amazing and left my hair so soft. Then breakfast the next day and I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had anywhere, Lewis brought fresh fruit out then showed us all the other stuff like overnight oats, croissants, cereal, yogurts, jams , fresh orange juice and this was before our full English with quality bacon & sausages and beautiful homemade bread toasted. I would definitely recommend this place if you like quality all round. Thanks again Marie & Alan
