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 KingdomThe only thing that I was not overly happy with was the public footpath right outside the living room/ bedroom window.
Everything was really nice about the apartmand it was all very clean and tidy. The Terrace was an added bonus beautiful view down the streets and into the Harbour.

United KingdomMy partner didn't like the fact of the host living upstairs.I don't think this is mentioned on the website.I didn't mind but you did feel like you couldn't really be yourself.The TV remote was hard to turn TV on & change channels.It felt a bit too dark in the rooms so needed lights on.I think having a TV in the bedroom would be better.
The view was beautiful.Lovely comfortable bed.Had everything you needed.lovely bathroom but shower wasn't very powerful if you wanted a hot shower.But it was lovely & clean.

United KingdomNot the easiest place to find and parking was in a public car park down the road, but that was a minor detail.
Great property for a two night stay with our dog. The host was very kind and helpful. Very useful to have two shower rooms. Nice little kitchen although we didn’t cook during our stay!

United KingdomSophia, the host was fabulous and sent us lots of recommendations on places to eat locally (Terrace Tapas and The Antidote we’re both amazing). The place is comfortable, quirky and in a great location and we would happily have stayed longer than the 2 nights we were booked for. Thanks for a great stay!

United KingdomWe liked the location of this Ilfracombe (booking.com) accommodation near the harbour and the High Street was fine for shops etc. Excellent directions (for location) were provided and the rooms were very comfortable, superb kitchen facilities and most definitely an eclectic decor.

We love this eclectic apartment.... Everything we needed was there. It's actually bigger than we expected. Location was perfect - close to harbour, restaurants and bars but also quiet at night. Owner super friendly. I could not fault this place

United KingdomSome may worry there’s not parking at the property. it wasn’t a problem for us though as we stopped to drop off our things and then parked locally and cheaply.
This quirky and different apartment is in a great spot in Ilfracombe with sea views from the terrace. the furnishings are certainly eclectic and it’s a fun place to stay for a few days.

United Kingdomonly problem was parking, we had to park in local car park at a rate of £10 for 24 hours, which was a good 10 minutes walk away.
place was well situated near the town centre. Sophie was lovely, the host, her cottage is very cosy and she was available to us at all times just in case of any issues or questions. Would recommend to any one wanting a get away close to beach and town. but beware of the hills!!

United KingdomNothing really! Only small comment - the 'feet' of the bedframe - chunky wooden blocks stick out a bit so managed to knock toes a few times when maneuvering around the bed esp at night time as the space around the bed is limited.
Great location overlooking Fore Street and walking distance from all the main attractions including Tunnels Beaches where I was working for the day. Super comfy bed although a bit small. Lovely kitchen and great wifi - also loved the little terrace where we could enjoy a meal outside. Sophia was a wonderful host - even helped us carry our bags when we arrived! We loved staying at her beautiful place.

Exceptional property with a lovely sun terrace looking at the harbour. Sophia was an ideal host and we wanted for nothing. If only I could live here. Can't recommend it more highly. Fore Street is becoming a foodie street.
