How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing for us but others maybe should be aware that there are steep steps at the rear of the property to get in however from the front street is is a steady slope.
The property is located over several floors and has been very tastefully decorated. Lovely touches with great pictures & books on display. Jonathan ensure you have a comfortable stay & is engaging with you a guest. He wanted to make sure we had everything we needed for a good stay. The choice for breakfast is on the continental side but plenty of choices on offer.

This is not a criticism just a comment. Could do with a bigger TV in the room and some of the older furniture in the room could of done with a bit of a dust. Other than that all good.
Lovely spacious room. We'll presented. Short walk in to dartmouth

I’ve got no complaints other than the property was a short walk from the centre of Dartmouth (which I knew when I booked).
The host, Jonathan was very welcoming and happy to chat about the possibilities of where to eat and visit around Dartmouth. He checked each day whether I had everything I needed in my room, and kindly gave me a lift to the town centre on my check out day (I travelled by traIn). My single room was clean, comfortable and overlooking a back lane in a quiet neighbourhood. The facilities in the room and bathroom (tea, coffee, soap etc) were excellent and there was a decent amount of space for my belongings (I was on a hiking trip). The breakfasts were also great - an array of filling and healthy continental options were available. I really enjoyed the fruit covered granola and porridge, plus hot croissants.

I can only say the coffee and some little issues like the fabric of the towel or the size of the shower cabin. It is not a new house. You hear your neighbors inside and outside. But I would definitely recommend to stay there.
The room is nice and has everything one can ask for. The host is very helpful and friendly. He makes a good breakfast. (Me being a coffee snob I would recommend him to get an espresso machine) it is a place where you feel welcome.

The hot water tap for the basin was scolding hot.
The host Jonathan was exceptionally kind and helpful, offering to pick us up from Dartmouth pier when it looked like there was ongoing roadworks which meant that we couldn't take a direct route from Totnes to Dartmouth, and would have had to take a round trip to Kingswear and cross over to Dartmouth by ferry. I really enjoyed the hearty continental breakfast the host prepared each morning. The homemade granola and plenty of fresh fruits was particularly appreciated. The ambience at breakfast was also nice and relaxing with jazz playing in the background. The room, which was a good size and comfortable, was nicely appointed with vintage furniture.
