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 KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like.
The stay was superb in all respects, starting with the excellent friendly welcome from the host, Guy. The location is wonderful, the room was perfect in all respects, with excellent attention to detail, and had a truly stunning view of the bay, right across to Porlock Weir and beyond. Breakfast was excellent and enjoyed with great views. The room was lovely, a good size, stunning view, comfortable bed, excellently furnished with a very good bathroom. The grounds are really lovely and good for wildlife. We saw a fox and an otter! All in all we had a truly wonderful stay at Bossington Hall and highly recommend it!

United KingdomA wonderful spur of the moment booking while driving through Devon. We were blown away such a dramatic view of the house as you come up the drive. Very comfortable room and amenities. Breakfast was delicious. We spent a couple of hours on the front patio with a coffee just admiring the beautiful view. A truly wonderful stay.

Location sublime though a bit far to walk to Porlock in rain for supper. Taxi companies used succesfully though! Breakfast was superb and all the little touches in this high end and interesting property were great. Owner Guy and Anna? went out of their way to explain everything and help make for a very welcome stay. Thank you. Views from bedroom and dining Hall outstanding.....very relaxing.

United KingdomNothing, loved it all
Gorgeous location within walking distance of the beach, pubs, restaurants and many amazing local walks. Guy also directed us to Dunkery Beacon, a short drive away, and a dark sky reserve where the stargazing is phenomenal. The Hall itself is a splendid building, and the interior has been designed and furnished with incredible attention to detail. Superb bedrooms, huge bathrooms, comfortable lounge areas and a boot room for muddy boots, guests can find complete relaxation here. Breakfast at Bossington is an amazing event, with everything carefully sourced and freshly prepared, really fabulous. We will definitely be back, and would recommend a visit to Bossington Hall to to anyone looking for a relaxing and super-comfortable break in a beautiful part of the world.
