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 KingdomWe recently had the pleasure of staying at West Lyn Farm and it was truly an exceptional experience. Astley, the host, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location of the farm was great, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.The property itself was immaculately clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere throughout our stay. One of the highlights was definitely Astley’s lemon drizzle cake and delicious breakfast, which featured locally sourced fresh eggs. But perhaps the most unforgettable aspect of our stay were the stunning views and 3 friendly dogs that greeted us each morning. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy Easter weekend.

It was a real pleasure to stay at the beautifully appointed West Lyn Farm. Hostess Astley couldn't have been more welcoming, kind and chatty. Our room which was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and with a lovely ensuite, had great views over Lynton and Lynmouth out to the Bristol Channel. We had a wonderful nights sleep in a super comfy bed and a delicious breakfast - full english the first morning bountiful with cereals, yoghurt, and toast and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on our 2nd morning. Lovely touches such as homemade cake was left in our room and there was a lovely garden strewn with fairy lights for her guests to enjoy. We will definitely be back!

The house was also lovely, very homely and clean with beautiful decor. Farm is located on a hill so we would wake up to sea views. ❤️ Astley also has two wonderful dogs that kept us company at breakfast time. All in all, we loved our stay!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like. We were sad to leave! Really nothing that we felt we would change.
The Farm is beautiful, peaceful and with the most wonderful views. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. Greeted on arrival with a warm welcome with tea and cake on the terrace. Really just felt like home! The room was beautiful with views across the landscape to the sea beyond. All the furnishings were perfect even the towels were lovely and big and soft. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. Astley is an amazing hostess, so natural and welcoming. We really can't recommend West Lynn Farm highly enough....just a wonderful stay.
