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.).

AustraliaThe Swallows was a perfect choice for our stay in Exmouth. It was conveniently located to the beach and lots of restaurants . Breakfast was very good plus there were lots of choices. Ian was a wonderful host who was extremely helpful and accommodating . The room was very clean and comfortable and well appointed. I can thoroughly recommend staying at the Swallows when in Exmouth.

United KingdomNothing we disliked. We would definitely stay again.
First of all the best hosts, so friendly and welcoming. B&B lovely and homely. Immaculate and tastefully decorated. Gorgeous grounds. Great room with plentiful toiletries and tea, coffee biscuits etc. Bonus of an extra room with sofa, tv and fridge in it. Never had this before! Price of stay included breakfast each morning. So much choice of continental style and full freshly cooked breakfast. We had a parking space too, which although very tight to get into was a handy addition. Location to centre and seafront within walking distance.

United KingdomNothing really. The only reason for 9 instead of 10 is that the hot water takes a long time to come through which worried me due to waste. But I had been alerted to that in advance.
I chose The Swallows due to it's proximity to the Pavilion theatre. Breakfast was very good and having my own little sitting room was a real luxury. Also Ian and Tracy's values regarding recycling and reusing towels matched my personal values.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like!
The Swallows is a lovely old building and is beautifully furnished. My room was very clean and comfortable with great views over the garden. Ian and Tracey were wonderful hosts and did everything to ensure that my stay was comfortable and pleasant. The food available at breakfast was amazing and wonderfully cooked. I would heartily recommend The Swallows as a great place to stay. There is very limited parking available, but Ian kept a space free for me and guided me through the narrow access point to get to the back of the building.

United KingdomNothing and would happily stay again next time I visit the area.
From the minute we arrived at The Swallows ,both Ian and Tracy could not do enough to make us feel welcome . The bed is comfortable and the room is just the right size for the both of us ,plus the added bonus of the extra room just at the top of the stairs to relax in complete with comfy sofa and TV. Breakfast was excellent and choice of basically everything you could wish for from fruit to the good old English fry up. They are both excellent hosts and the location is just a short walk to town and the seafront.
