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 KingdomFor some, the roads will be a challenge but this is Dartmouth... narrow roads and little parking. The Compass Rose had parking (tight) and on the street outside.
Lovely home, room was spotlessly clean with good facilities. Great hosts with helpful recommendations. Perfect location for Dartmouth to be able to walk into town. Lovely terrace to sit out on. Terrific breakfasts.

United KingdomHonestly, I can't think of a thing.
We loved the whole experience. We were very warmly greeted by our charming hosts. The whole house was beautiful and our room warm and delightfully furnished with a large and very cosy bed, a terrace and lovely views across the town to the river Dart and Kingwear beyond. The breakfast was superb, especially the locally sourced poached eggs expertly prepared by our host. It was just a short walk down into Dartmouth and the there's a bus if you don' fancy the.walk back up.

United KingdomNothing we can think of
We really enjoyed our stay at Compass Rose. Ann made us very welcome from the outset, and gave us lots of useful information about the Town and the best way to get to it from the Guest House. The room was tidy and comfortable and the views across Dartmouth were great. It's a nice walk into Town and doesn't take long. It's a little steep in places but we were fine with it and it was nice to have a bit of a workout after our meals :) The breakfasts were very nice and there was plenty of choice. We would definitely recommend it and stay here again if we're in the area.

United KingdomVery welcoming! Fantastic breakfast- lots of choice Comfortable bed with excellent pillows ( I’m quite picky about number and firmness of pillows) Gorgeous veranda which is covered so we used it even in the rain. Ann is a font of knowledge on where to visit and eat. Unbelievable views of Dartmouth from veranda.

United KingdomSome of the steeper hills! Seriously, though, there was nothing at all not to like.
What a fabulous place - amazing location with views across the town and river, with the most welcoming and friendly hosts - who not only gave us loads of information, including a list of places to eat beforehand so we could make reservations in advance, but even let me borrow a coat as I had completely forgotten to pack mine! Our room was perfect, very comfortable with a lovely en suite and terrace. The cooked breakfasts were also delicious, with plenty of coffee, toast and jam.

United KingdomOverall, we loved our stay. Just a steep walk back after you have been in town. There is public transport which would drop you off at the end of the road.
The bedroom was spacious. Nice decking area, which gives amazing views over Dartmouth. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The hosts could not have been more accommodating.

United KingdomIt’s difficult to criticise such a lovely stay, but our room was too warm - we managed to overcome this problem by keeping the patio doors open to let in the cooling Dartmouth breeze.
Wonderful stay. The room was large with the most spectacular view of Dartmouth and our very own patio garden Comfortable king size bed. Our breakfasts were very good with locally sourced produce and the most delicious eggs. Good coffee too and plenty of it. Couldn’t fault it.
