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 KingdomCouldn’t get the window open. The mattress sloped down all along the left side so I felt like I was going to fall out of bed and had to prop a pillow under me.
Lovely room and position.

United KingdomWe didn’t realise that our room was in a separate building (not a problem) but up two fairly significant flights of stairs. This wasn’t a problem for us but our arthritic pooch did struggle and had to be carried up the stairs. The breakfast experience was slightly marred by the lack of staff. There only seemed to be one person running the service which also incorporated checking out guests that were leaving and dealing with the public who also came in for breakfast. This was particularly evident on the last morning when there was one chap on his owning dealing with guests plus a party of 9 workmen and several other people breakfasting outside. This lead to a long wait and an incorrect order received. I had a problem with super vinegary hollandaise sauce and a fish pie that was off the scale hot served with a huge pile of cabbage that was undercooked and cold with limp samphire! This wouldn’t put us off returning though as we had a wonderful stay overall.
The property is in a fabulous location right on the quay and you can get the ferry across to Instow daily. We were lucky to always find a parking space in the car park. We had a lovely big family room with a large king size bed and wonderful views. The bathroom was big and very well decorated. Nice little touches including biscuits, milk and tap water complimentary with a selection of items to buy too. The decor of the pub was lovely and there was good outside space at the front, side and rear (perfect for sitting in the sun). The food was a little hit and miss but my husband enjoyed the full Devon breakfast that he had every morning. The breakfast options were good with a fresh selection provided each morning in the bar.

United KingdomIt's popular so would be even better if there was a bigger car park. We struggled with public transport options around the area.
Really helpful staff, special thanks to Pete, a friendly town, all in all a great weekend with lots of walks and interesting vistas of the estuary and further afield at the beaches. Highly recommend this hotel for its location within the village itself as well as the facilities, ambience and the team.

United KingdomThey could do with swapping out their spinach on the vegan breakfast, it tasted like it was tinned rather than fresh. Could even simmer it with tomatoes and freeze it if frequency is the issue.
Room was immaculate, location was great. Food also generally really good. Hosts are all lovely, especially Michelle.

United KingdomThis is the second Young’s with terribly hard pillows. Go to the chiropractor’s the next day hard. Also, our room had very poor ventilation. Steamy with a shower and stuffy hot at night. Couldn’t open a window because we were at street level and passers-by were looking in.

Brilliant customer services! Staff couldn't have done more to help. In terms of breakfast, because it starts at 0800 and I had to leave before then, they provided a breakfast box which was great. Only criticism is the time for breakfast.

Great location with views over the estuary. Spacious, light airy room (room 10) but also warm which we needed given the weather! Plenty of storageto unpack things to. Convenient to be able to get food on site and great choice for breakfast. Staff pleasant.
