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 KingdomTo be fair, we’d booked the cheapest room which was fine for one night. One of the bedside lamps wasn’t working, the other was ridiculously bright. There was no bath mat or hairdryer, nowhere to hang clothes and the bed was just a divan base on the floor. The bed didn’t have a headboard but the linen was clean and the towels fluffy! The tiny en-suite had a very small cloakroom sink so wasn’t big enough to wash your face in and was only just big enough to wash hands. The mirror and shelf over the sink made it tricky to spit out toothpaste without banging your head! The window didn’t shut properly but we did sleep really well, it was warm in the room.
Excellent location, fabulous food and service.

United KingdomEn-suite bathroom was small but we knew this when booking so just being a bit picky. Would have liked a bit of a buffet style breakfast (for juice, cereal and fruit) along with the cooked breakfast. However, the cooked breakfast chosen from a good choice menu was great. My fussy observations would by no means stop us returning to this lovely place.
Great location for walking over the moors, lovely food and very friendly staff. Easily checked in to a nice little clean room with view over the moors. I would call the Inn a steak restaurant really (other choices are available) providing a super evening meal. I believe it's a 'cook your own steak' for Monday's and Tuesdays, so just look out for this if that bothers you...Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

United KingdomLack of choice of evening meal on a Tuesday evening and mixed feeling about having to cook your own steak. Did enjoy the meal , though felt it should have been cooked for me. I understand better choice on other evenings. No TV in the bedroom.
Friendly staff , good room. Organic food.

United KingdomAmazing stay!!! There’s such limited availability on Dartmoor- if I’m honest I booked thinking “that will do”. Fantastic stay- such wonderful, polite staff and the food was unbelievable. We are genuinely considering the 3 hour round trip for another steak haha! Room was big, comfortable with the most lovely view to wake up to. We particularly liked the geese in the bathroom window! Would 100% stay again and have already recommended to friends. Best steak we have ever had. Thank you and see you soon :)

United KingdomJust be prepared that the rooms are located above the restaurant/pub area and there was a bit of noise as a result but it didn’t bother us.
The inn is located in a beautiful location in the National Park so perfectly situated for walks. The room was nice and clean. The staff was very polite and attentive. The best part of the experience was undoubtedly the food - both dinner and breakfast were just AMAZING! The quality of the food was unbelievable and the whole place just had a lovely feel to it. I had creamy scrambled eggs for breakfast and it was so delicious that I’m still trying to replicate at home with no success. Very lovely stay overall.

United KingdomThe en suite bathroom had a loose toilet roll holder, cracked basin and missing mirror, all of which I suspect had happened recently perhaps by someone falling into it.
The breakfast was amazing! Fantastic honey sausages, which I'd never had before but would definitely have again. We also ate there in the evening and would definitely recommend it - rump steak perfectly cooked on the open fire in the restaurant.

United KingdomNothing to complain about really as far as dislikes but we do know certain people might have issue. If you were a vegan or vegetarian with different ideas on being in areas that serve meat then you may not like the fact that there is a lingering smell of meat in the restaurant bar area or that the meat fridge is on show. My partners vegetarian and I pescatarian and we didn’t really have an issue with it. Our room was very comfortable bathroom very tiny and you had to back up onto a step to use the toilet and there was no mirror as previous people had complained about but it’s not a problem. There’s a mirror just outside in the bedroom and the bathroom has what you need shower, toilet and basin. So if mobility is an issue or one’s size warranting a bigger bathroom then check before you book.Otherwise take this wonderful place for what it is a lovely countryside experience.
The location was fabulous in the moors. The staff were unbelievably friendly and couldn’t help you enough. It had a farmhouse feel to it. The pony was allowed out of his enclosure to potter about the lawn where the outside tables for drinks were. The owners dogs were roaming with chickens and geese. it was very relaxed. The breakfast was sensational and included in the price.
