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 KingdomWe only got to stay one night!
This was a last minute booking so we were just hoping for something adequate for an overnight rest but we were in for a treat. We were given the mallow suite complete with four poster, large bathroom and dressing area. It was clean and comfy and oozed Country Inn history and charm. Food including including dinner and breakfast was lovely and there was a great choice of ale and cider. Staff were welcoming and professional. We will recommend The Hoops to everyone and will hopefully find an excuse to stay again.

United KingdomWarm, inviting and very welcoming. Very quirky oldie, worldie atmosphere. We had an overnight stay/stop off between our travelling destinations. Evening meal - varied choices and breakfast was excellent. Room was well supplied with tea/coffee and goodies. Beds very comfortable. Bathroom/shower room small and compact but very good use of the limited space. Secure car parking facilities and lots of outdoor eating/drinking garden facilities. Value for money and would stay again.

United KingdomThe only criticism we had was that the menu didn't warn us that the sticky toffee pudding had cinnamon on it. This is purely personal, as neither of us like cinnamon, but it has such a strong flavour and isn't normally found in STP, that it would have been good to warn up front as some people will love the addition.
Great location, lovely cosy room and great dedicated staff who really seem to care about our stay. Normally we don't eat where we stay and it's not normally great, but that all changed when we had dinner there. The food was amazing, not just for a hotel, but amazing in the area.

United KingdomThe plug in the suites bath doesn’t close fully.
The staff at this hotel are exceptional. Nothing is too much. They make you feel at home and they were amazing with my pug. We come every year and even though the owners are currently not front of house like they have been in previous years, it was still the same standard of service. We look forward to seeing them back next year.

United KingdomWe wanted a typical country Devon pub where we could relax in the bar after dinner and have a chat with our fellow travellers. Unfortunately at about 5.30 the staff put reserved signs on all the tables , including ours where we had just eaten, and we were forced to move out of the way. I understand the need to maximise food sales but if they warn in advance that they do not have bar in the evenings then people can make an informed choice before they commit to booking.
Location,bedrooms, staff,food all really good.

United KingdomThe only downside was the very noisy plumbing Sounded like constant drawing water and also being on the ground floor lots of noise from above rooms
The accommodation was spacious and clean and being on the ground floor ideal as my husband has mobility issues. The breakfast was exceptional a fantastic choice and delicious We had evening meals on 2 of the 3 nights which were also delicious.
