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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe property boasted a mini grand electric piano which our host was happy for me to play. But unfortunately many of the notes didn’t work. The only other thing we mentioned was that the rise and fall shower pole was loose and needed tightening.
The property is ideally placed situated 100 yards from the top of the funicular railway. Providing easy access to coastal and inland walks. It offers panoramic views of the estuary from the dining room and veranda seating. Breakfast was served on a variety of bone china which complimented the Victorian decor in a pleasing fusion of contemporary design. I mentioned breakfast but it would be remiss of me if I didn’t mention just how good it was. The eggs were so rich and perfectly cooked. Whichever menu option we chose it was delivered quickly with a smile. Making the ideal start to every morning.

United KingdomNo fault of the hotel but the weather turned inclement for early September and the heating wasn't on - meaning that the room was cool.. No problem, though, as there was a lovely blanket to get cosy under, curled up on the sofa; or the choice to use the warmer lounge downstairs.
Beautiful suite with seaview, comfy bed and hot water. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Every effort was made to make it quintessentially English. Private parking and a few minutes walk to Linton. Throughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to anyone who would like a quiet and safe place to stay.

United KingdomThe water pressure is too high meaning the water shoots out even when hot making it difficult to use . Car park is great but if just one car parks at an angle it makes it really difficult for others to get out .
Stunning location overlooking North Cliffs out to sea , Peter was a great host and the room was lovely & clean . Great new kitchen area .

United KingdomIt wasn’t clear when booking that evening meals were no longer available and I was under the impression that there was a bar but there wasn’t though there was an honesty bar and fridge with most drinks available. Wine choice was bang average at best.
Beautiful period property in a great location with stunning views over Lynmouth Bay. Excellent breakfast but evening meals not available. Parking is good. Peter and the staff are very helpful. Very comfortable room with great views.

United KingdomWe didn't get to try evening meal at the Seawood House as its closed on Sunday and Monday. We were happy with selection of alternatives in the town though.
Breakfast was very good. Good choices and quality including: fruit salad; pastries; toast; fruit juice; full English etc. Hotel was clean and communal rooms had interesting and varied decor. Staff were available when needed, but mostly stay out of sight getting on with the days tasks. Well stocked Honesty bar available. Shortish (5min) but uphill walk to town and good selection of places to eat. Lots of hills everywhere in this area though... it's part of the appeal!

United KingdomThe only difficulty for us was the access to the parking area for the hotel, it was tricky to negotiate at times and the parking was a little restrictive. Other than that it was splendid and we loved it.
The location is wonderful, stunning views from the veranda, the property is beautifully maintained and charming on the inside. Particularly liked the china for a proper cup of tea. Loved the location for visiting either Lynton or the funicular down to Lynmouth. Beautiful walks (some can be steep) nearby with stunning views, even in the rain. The breakfast served was first class.
