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 KingdomJust one small point which was rather crucial at the time, but amusing in retrospect; there was very little lavatory paper left and no spare roll provided so it was necessary to go downstairs to ask a member of the staff to find another roll, urgently!
The choice of food offered for breakfast would suit everyone; the menu for the cooked breakfast could be varied to order. The food was well cooked and well presented with little waiting time. The breakfast room was spacious and well furnished in keeping with the historic nature of the entire hotel. The location of The New Inn could not be better as it is in the heart of Clovelly; a guest has only to step outside onto the cobbles to experience the unique beauty of this ancient village.

United KingdomJust a recommendation on the breakfast , it would be good to have a fresh fruit choice as well as cereals, toast and the cooked breakfast.
The location was perfect, in the middle of the village. I arrived in the dark, and it was a steep walk down the cobbled path to the hotel, but i was helped by the local villagers to find the way. Very authentic hotel , and a great little bar area. Really warm and cosy in the bedroom.

United KingdomNothing to complain about. It was just not that easy to reach only because we arrived quite late in the day while it was raining. Carrying the bags for a few minutes in the dark on a slippery road wasn't great, but we've been repaid with the beautiful view of the location and the kindness of the staff
The spot is pretty unique. The room was great, very clean with everything we needed

United KingdomBooked initially for one night, but loved it so much, ended up staying longer. A lovely place to stay in the heart of Clovelly. Stayed in November, so was quiet. Hotel is lovely - small and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful. Booked a standard room - small, but had everything we needed. A great base to explore Clovelly and surrounding areas. Evening meal in the restaurant was excellent. Will definitely return.

United StatesI didn't quite expect the steepness and unevenness of the walk down to the Inn, but we made it fine and it ended up being my favorite place of the whole trip. My husband is about to have knee surgery, but he is in good shape so it worked out. We are 76 and 81. Most people our age could not do it, but I am very glad we did. These challenging places are the kind I like, so I will never regret that we stayed there. We couldn't seem to get fresh towels, although there was a stack of them and other things like toilet paper and coffee creamer to grab. I think they were short-staffed.
Breakfast was great. The room was a little small, but I loved the balcony looking out on the main street. We liked the food at the restaurant and being able to pop in for a drink, although we had pretty much exhausted the menu after four nights. The Italian woman with dark hair was great as was Tonia who greeted us. We liked having the coastal trail above the village and walked on it every day.
