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 KingdomWe had a few issues with the door keypad - Booking.com sent us the wrong code so we couldn’t get in on the first day, then it broke on the second day. The hosts resolved it quickly for us. Lastly, the staircase was quite a challenge for our young kids so probably wouldn’t recommend the property to anyone with smaller kids who aren’t confident on narrow stairs.
The house is in a great location for accessing the harbour and town. It’s beautifully decorated and very clean. The beds were super comfy and it’s well sound proofed between the levels.

United KingdomNothing we were very happy with the property.
The location was very central to Ilfracombe and close to the wedding venue we had to get to. The property is warm, well presented and each room is well thought out. Lots of choice of attractions, pubs & restaurants and also supermarkets very close by

We came as a family of 5, for 4 nights in August 2023 and had great time. The location is very central, and allows several hikes that we began at the apartment, without needing a car or bus. Everything is in a short walk distance: supermarkets (two of them), theater, restaurants, etc. The apartment, and particularly the kitchen, is very well equipped, beds are comfortable, and the design is in good taste. Despite being so central, the place was quiet. The stairs are very steep, but there is a nice dining room at the entrance level, so if you have difficulty in taking large suitcases, you can leave the suitcase in the dining room and take with you whatever you need for the night.

United KingdomThe property was a little difficult if you struggle with steep steps.
The property was small but perfectly formed and really quirky. It was a 10 minute walk to the Quay side and plenty of walks near by.

United KingdomThis is a really special place, the house is beautiful & everything is well thought out. Information pre arrival was great, really helpful for planning our arrival. Super comfy beds & sofas, all felt luxurious. A little more than I'd usually spend, but it was a real treat to stay here. Ilfracombe is lovely with lots to see within a short distance. A choice of beaches, we favoured the harbour, as its sandy. A well stocked Lidl is a 2 min walk away.

United KingdomParking was tricky to get into as tight access but good to have. Stairs are steep but have handrail and child/pet gates if needed at each level. Thicker curtains would be good for darker nights's sleep as blinds behind them only do so much and to insulate from road noise.
Great location for wedding at Tunnels Beaches and Ilfracombe generally. House is decorated to a high standard and kitchen well supplied. Double and single bedroom on middle floor along with toilet and sink room down a couple of steps with twin room at top level with bathroom with bath over shower.

United KingdomThe location really lets this place down. As soon as we arrived we were mortified to how busy the road right outside the front door was. It's literally the main through road of Ilfracombe from the harbour and to make matters worse it's right next to traffic lights. Every bus or truck that passes makes the house shudder. You hear every car and boy racers with their music playing. I feel awful writing this but it needs to be said as sleep is really affected by this. The traffic noise doesn't ease off until around 11.30pm until about 7am. The spiral staircases are also another issue. I'm very able bodied but I didn't feel safe. Going to the loo at night especially and coming from the main bathroom on the third floor, the first step is really dangerous.
The house itself is beautiful. The owners have really made the most of presenting every room to the highest standards. The house's décor is really nice. All rooms are really clean and I felt very comfortable and at home. There's lots of nice touches. Even though dogs are welcome you wouldn't know, there's no traces or smells. Plenty of good quality toiletries if you need them. The kitchen is well stocked with all the pots and pans you'd need from doing a Sunday roast to baking a cake.

United KingdomParking was quite difficult to find especially not being local to the area, felt the navigation around finding the spot to be tricky
The unique feel and location for us having been invited to a wedding at tunnel beaches.
