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 KingdomThere was nothing we disliked about our stay at The Denes.
The Denes is a lovely, comfortable place to stay. We had not visited Lynton before and were amazed by the beauty of the surroundings. The Denes is within easy walking distance of the town & we found an excellent pub there. Our hosts were so friendly & helpful & our breakfast was delicious & generous! We would definitely stay here again.

Chris and Lesley were the perfect hosts, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The Denes is the perfect location if you want to walk the Valley of the Rocks. The guest house is clean and has everything you need for a getaway. The breakfast was great and the best poached eggs ever. We would definitely go back again if we were in the area.

United States of AmericaI cannot think of a single thing. Seriously, it was perfect.
Where do I even begin? This place is WONDERFUL! The owners, to start with, are so welcoming and kind. The house itself is gorgeous, it feels like you've gone into someone's actual house...and you have! The dining room is gorgeous, the view on the garden is such a delight. The room itself dropped our mouths wide open...we had just come from a tiny dingy London apartment and into this spacious, tastefully decorated and light room. We absolutely oooo'd and aaahhh'd over every detail from the teacups to the bed in the corner for my daughter to the bench in the window with the view on the street. Perfection!! Then we went into the bathroom and about fell over...it was also stunning! So spacious and well stocked. The adorable plants and decorations and even the toilet paper had cute puppy patterns on it (my daughter pointed that part out!) Anyway, as you can tell, we were smitten. Did NOT want to leave. In addition to how beautiful and perfect everything was, the breakfast was outstanding and my gluten allergy was more than accommodated for. We also loved playing games in the dining room in the evening and I haven't even mentioned the cat yet and my review is so long. But Uggie is adorable and kept to herself and was a thrill for my daughter to see every time she came in through her little door in the hallway. The location couldn't be better, a literal stone's throw from Valley of the Rocks and a short 5 minute walk or less to any of the shops down the street in town. Don't miss the Cliff Train when you visit and go down and visit Lynmouth as well. I would absolutely return and hope to some day as this is a treasure of a bed and breakfast.
