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.).

Delightful little place, super clean and the host was lovely. Quiet and rural but close enough to Plymouth.

United KingdomCan't fault it.
Beautifully appointed room, smelled like a spa. Super clean and well thought through design. All the mod cons - alexa, fancy TV and wireless phone charger. Wonderful outdoor covered area with outdoor heater to sit and enjoy the evening. Great kitchen which was well stocked with juice, milk, filtered water, bread and jams and cereals - easy for a late evening snack or breakfast.

United KingdomThis is not a complaint but the bathroom was compact and bijou. My only concern was the area for the toilet; I have arthritis and found it a little difficult to manoeuvre in the space provided.
Debbie was an extremely friendly, helpful host. We had a phone number to use should we need any help during our stay. We only used the b and b for one night as we had visited family in Plymouth and were on our way to Bude the next day. The accommodation was lovely, a comfy bed and smashing shower with a well lit storage area. The renovated barn was beautiful, the before and after photos are incredible! There is a planted outdoor seating area which I am sure will be enjoyed by many in the warmer months! The location just outside Sparkwell is a peaceful hamlet however, it is amusing to hear the sounds of the animals in Dartmoor Zoo not far away! Breakfast was continental and very nice but had a cooked breakfast been available it would have been the cherry on the cake!!

United KingdomThe breakfast side of my short stay was a little disappointing . It was a “help yourself” breakfast of cereals , toast, yogurt, tea/coffee . It was in a small room (kitchenette). Half the room was shared as a laundry room with washing machine, dryer and large boiler. It was necessary to stand up eating breakfast as room not large enough for seats.During hot summer months could sit outside. Small kitchenette shared with other residents. A cooked breakfast would have been a nice option.
The room accommodation was excellent. Extremely clean and comfortable. Certainly lived up to its billing as a luxury retreat. Debbie the host was most kind and attentive.

United KingdomWhat didn't I like? That time inevitably went too quickly.
Everything about this property, the location and its friendly and helpful host, Debbie, were as I'd hoped from the profile text and pictures, backed up by other guests' reviews. Debbie carefully explained all the features of the property - it is beautifully decorated and equipped with modern facilities. The breakfast options were delicious, and its location is wonderful - within a lioness's roar of Dartmoor Zoo (literally!). Highly recommended, and I hope to come back soon.
