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 an issue with the heating but I let the hosts know and it was fixed immediately.
Just a short walk from the town centre so was able to just park my car and leave it for the entire festival. Rooms really inviting and comfortable, whole place really light and welcoming. Excellent selection for breakfast and hosts who go above and beyond to help you. Really happy I got to try the hot tub - such a tranquil little retreat they’ve created for it.

United KingdomMy own preferences are for Arctic cold, and it seemed impossible to shut down the radiator to less than "very hot". An open window helped!
Lots of little details showing care and attention. I didn't use all the features on offer, and to be honest I mostly was there to sleep and have breakfast, but I did get to do some work (a deplorable lapse when.on holiday), and it was good for that too.

United KingdomI was a bit hot on my first night because the radiator was on and it took a while to cool after I switched it off. I heard the traffic on the first night also because I had to have the window open. The second night it was cooler so I kept the window closed and it was fine. They provide fans in the rooms too. I had a very comfortable single room with and external bathroom. Which was actually fine as it was just across the hall and for my personal use but if I return I will book a double with and on suite.
Hosts were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. You can tell they both put a lot of effort into this guest house to get things right. It feels very organised with great attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean with lots of nice touches. Such as shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, shower cap, lovely bedding and towels. Comfortable bed. I had a good sleep. Tea and coffee facilities with good quality coffee. Nice touch was the mini fridge with milk and water. Tissues on the side. Plenty of bins. Breakfasts were plentiful. All these little things make a difference. Short walk into town. Aprox 15 mins straight down at a moderate pace. No buses or taxis needed if you’re mobile. I noticed the garden but didn’t have time to sit in it. Very lovely place. Good value for money. Pity I couldn’t have stayed longer. Would definitely return.

United KingdomNothing we can think of.
Warm welcome from both Joe & Linda. Both very informative about Brixham and places to visit. We certainly made the most of our visit and went to some of the places they suggested and enjoyed each one. Breakfast was great and it was lovely to meet other guests and chat whilst eating. Going to town was a short walk or a two minute bus ride so perfectly situated.
