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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomWow! What an incredible place to stay. Everything is perfect here, it’s a private peaceful location and a pleasure to soak up the surroundings day and night. The Lakehouse is spotless clean and has everything you could possibly need for a break away. The bed is also the largest and comfiest I’ve ever slept in. Staying here as a couple we feel we have found a complete gem of a place and couldn’t be happier and we can’t wait to return in a few months time

Absolute perfection! We spent a wonderful couple of days together with our dog nestled at the bottom of the hill in the `Lakehouse. There aren't many places where you can enjoy 360 degrees of privacy. The Lakehouse sits amongst the trees on it's own private lake with a wood-fired hot tub and pizza oven. The bed is huge and very comfortable, not that you'll want to spend much time inside. An easy to use log burner. All the Amenities! Richard the host is very friendly and accommodating, there should you need anything but gave us complete peace. The gin from his distillery was a lovely touch. Amazing produce around the local area, gorgeous coastline and pubs. Lots to see and do nearby, though I doubt you will want to leave!

United KingdomWe did not wish to to leave
The Lakehouse is in a perfect private location, comfortable, spacious with amazing views in the rural countryside. The Richard owner was very welcoming and very professional, Richard is available if you need him but goes intrude on your privacy. The Lakehouse was very well equipped with everything you need. A good wifi also provided. The hot tub is also an added bonus. A beautiful location to relax and recharge.

United KingdomHaving to leave. And also leaving a review to encourage others to book so less availability 😄.
Wow, just wow. You're very own secluded lakehouse, what isn't to love. We had an absolutely amazing time. Made use of the pizza oven, hot tub, firepit and lake. Richard was an amazing host, showed us around and was on hand if needed. I'm not a gin drinker but the complimentary bottle of home made gin was lovely and such a nice touch. We had a relaxing couple of nights and honestly didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in you're beautiful home.

United KingdomWe didn't dislike anything.
We loved absolutely everything about the place! The lakehouse is situated away from the main buildings on the grounds and has lots of privacy. The location is secluded, peaceful and absolutely stunning. Wouldn't change a thing. Richard is a wonderful host who met us on arrival to provide the key and showed us around the place. The accommodation had everything we needed in spades, and we loved using the pizza oven, BBQ and the hot tub. We had planned a walk on Dartmoor but in the end enjoyed the place so much we just relaxed next to the lake and enjoyed the amenities. We'll definitely be back again next year for a second visit. Thank you so much Richard for a wonderful experience.

The house is thoughtfully furnished with everything you need including a very well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We even arrived to a gift of homade gin and ready hot tub. Richard checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. He was extremely lovely and pleasant; he always make sure to communicate with you if you need any help during your stay. Highly recommended.

United KingdomEverything was perfect. Nothing at all not to like.
The location of the Lakehouse is truly wonderful. You really are in your own spectacular little piece of Devon and with the lake, the countryside and the comfort of the house itself makes for a complete escape from the outside world. Richard and his son Rocky could not do enough for us. They ensured the wood fired hot tub was always to a perfect temperature, they took the time to drive and collect us from the local pub and we were treated to a bottle of Richard’s homemade gin which was exceptional. I cannot recommend this property highly enough and we had a fantastic stay.
