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 had a fantastic stay. Monique and Kit went out of their way to accommodate us, even ensuring we were able to eat when we arrived a little late due to traffic. The food in the pub is amazing and breakfast was equally brilliant. The room was so comfy and clean and we really enjoyed sitting in the sun in the little garden outside.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. The hospitality and food was excellent. Monique has a rare culinary gift and makes delicious meals at affordable prices. She also uses produce grown in their own poly tunnel, so it's always fresh and healthy.
Kit and Monique always give a very friendly greeting. The Molesworth Arms is a lovely traditional country pub. Great ambiance and good company.

United KingdomNothing could have made it any better, we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of our stay.
The accomodation was extremely clean and very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need was in the room. Kit and Monique were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked in a beautiful setting. The restaurant looked lovely, although we did not have an evening meal there as we attended a party somewhere else. We wished our stay was longer, so we could have tried it. Thank you very much, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay, and would highly recommend.

United KingdomWe would have liked the bar to have been open when we arrived at 4pm after a very long day but we do understand that economics mean this can be difficult for businesses (eg heating costs).
Lovely hosts and lovely house. The bed and bedding were luxurious! The most significant positive though was the food. Absolutely first class!

United KingdomWe often stay at similar hostelries and nearly always come away thinking ‘they could have thought of that!’ But not here. So refreshing to meet hosts who clearly enjoy what they and take pride in giving their guests a great experience.
What a find! Everything you could want from a village pub. Accommodation was outstanding and the hosts were most convivial. We wished we could have stayed longer. The whole place was spotless and clearly a lot of thought had been given to what quests require. Excellent breakfast. We were unable to have an evening meal there but regret not doing so as the menu was enticing and other guests were clearly enjoying their meal.

United KingdomEverything was 1st class.
Just returned home from two amazing nights stay at the Superb Molesworth Arms.From the warm welcome on arrival from Monique to the equally warm Goodbye from Kit, our Wedding Anniversary time away couldn't have gone better. The establishment that is Molesworth Arms is simply wonderful. Our Double Room with ensuite was so cosy and welcoming, and tastefully decorated. At the end of our days out exploring, it was an absolute treat to know we were going back to an amazingly comfortable bed and beautifully laid out room. Oh, and the shower is absolutely brilliant. When I say it's a power shower, it really is. As for our anniversary evening in the restaurant, it was a night blessed by the first class, super friendly hosting of Kit & Monique. The food they produced was top draw tasty. Fresh ingredients and lots of love go in to the food, and it shows by the presentation and taste. Our bottle of Aussie wine really complimented our meals also. The restaurant itself is a place of real relaxation, beautiful decor and a joy to eat a meal in. We were so chilled throughout the evening, and if we weren't so shattered from our day out, we would have stayed up for another bottle of wine! The location of Molesworth is ideal. A quiet village that is 20 minutes drive from Bude and a little more minutes to Bideford. As for Kit & Monique, they are the most loveliest of hosts who have the warmest and genuine welcomes. They were attentive to making our short stay as comfortable and accommodating as possible. Kit cooks up a superb English breakfast and it was great conversing with him during breakfast. And as a barista I can state that the coffee served up is very good indeed from a local roastery. When we saw on booking.com that their rating was 9.8 out of 10 with every review 5 star, we had a feeling we'd be going to a decent place. When you stay, you truly realize how good the place is and how good Kit & Monique are at hosting.

We loved everything. Monique and Kit were so friendly and welcoming and supplied everything we could have possibly needed. Breakfast was delicious, freshly made, and very tasty. The room was perfect and extremely comfortable, and the breakfast seating area was glorious (despite the weather). The additional benefit of a delicious evening meal in the restaurant really helped us to relax during our stay. Really hope we get the chance to come back again soon.
