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.).

Excellent reception, Dave was a lovely helpful person, with great knowledge of the area. The room was very clean and comfortable with everything needed for our stay. The breakfast was beautiful and a great start to the day. Would highly recommend and looking forward to many future stays at the Mariners.

United KingdomIf I had to say anything negative.. Would like a little more choice for the buffet & hot food Given time to think what I wanted for breakfast as was asked even before I had sat down ( understand its a busy time & need to get on with breakfast) And if you are a light sleeper probably the downstairs room isn't for you . As the breakfast room is right next to the room & you can hear them getting the room ready on the morning & ppl talking in there at breakfast. ( But must say apart from early morning it's a quiet B&B. But that's all really if I did nit pick And that's only my opinion if I was very fussy.
First time at a B&B and wasn't a disappointment. Host...was very friendly had time to chat asked how your day was and if we needed anything. Even called me when we where out for the day to tell us about parking spaces. Couldn't ask for a better host. Room.. lovely room very clean fresh. We had a downstairs room fridge, tv, lamps, big mirrors, wardrobe. Shower, loo, sink with lights & shaving point. Also towels. Choice of teas coffees, bottle water. Also a little easter gift in our room very nice touch. Bed was very comfortable. Lovely nights sleep very quiet at night. Room was big with high ceilings. Can be turned into a family room if needed. Breakfast.. lovely food had a choice of a few hot dishes. Buffet was yogurt, toast, bananas, oranges, cereals. Also different tea, coffee juice, water. Location.. a bit of a walk to the town say 10 15mins.. bit steep walking bk up the st. but there is everything you need day and night in the town . Weatherspoons, lrish bar, primark..so many food places..Beautiful beach . The boat trips are really good. We did the speed boat around the rocks see the dolphins if your very lucky was amazing. there is a rd train that you can get to town from the same st as the B&b . Beautiful walk to Paignton if you like walking. Train station not far. There is a pub right by the B&B if you didn't want to venture far ..doesn't look much but its friendly Has karaoke quizzes bingo on . Food is very nice there and clean. There's a few shops for a paper coffee shop bakery right there . Chippy. If you fancy a Chinese you have to try the tasty house very nice food. If you have mobility issues this is a good place.. as the room is downstairs has a ramp outside so no steps. And room is spacious. ( Only thing is no had rails if you needed them)

Dave ( owner) could not have been any nicer. He was attentive, friendly, and professional. We booked a couple of nights, B&B. The room was super clean, nicely decorated, with tea & coffee making facilities. There are lots of hangers in the wardrobe, which is always a bonus! Breakfast was superb. Great choice of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurts and a good hot breakfast selection. The full English was superb! All in all a really fantastic place to stay with location only being a 5 minute walk to the beach and 15 mins from Town centre. We will be using again.

UKDave the host was very welcoming.There was a good choice of breakfast which was cooked perfectly.The mariners was situated a small walk away from the sea front which had many shops and restaurants to cater for all tastes. If you wanted a driving free day out a bus or ferry could be taken from the harbour to other places near by.Brixham and Dartmouth are a nice day out.
