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 came to Norwegian wood with my elderly mother in law. We had a fantastic stay. Heather made us very welcome and could not do enough for us. Sadly I didn't get to meet John but I will look forward to meeting him when we next visit. Everything was first class from the cleanliness of the rooms to the magnificent organic breakfast cooked by Heather. I have no hesitation at recommending this holiday home

United KingdomOur stay was absolutely amazing. Heather and John were impeccable hosts and went above and beyond for us and our 3 children. We were able to have a small bbq in the front garden, and they even offered to do a load of washing after the kids jumped in to the sea fully clothed. 😂 You know it is a good holiday when you start discussing going back before you leave and we can not wait to book our next visit in the near future at such a quirky picturesque B&B

United KingdomNothing, it was all great.
Heather and her husband were so kind and considerate throughout our entire stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious, and she always accommodated our requests and catered for my allergies, which put me at ease. The B&B was not far from the beach (10-15minute walk), so the location was great. We loved the apartment it was clean and comfy, and the views were beautiful. We adored the cats that live at the property. They were so sweet and great with the children. Our children loved it and are already asking when we can go back. We look forward to returning.

United KingdomI honestly loved this Appartment and wouldn't change anything. The place was very clean and it wasn't far from the bus stop for us to travel. We was a perfect even distance from both Torquay and Paignton.
Heather and John have a wonderful home with beautiful scenery. The view is second to none and the Appartment has plenty of space and room for our large family. The breakfast was excellent and our host gave us everything we needed as a large vegan family.

They were both very welcoming and sociable, and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. The room was lovely, very nice view of the sea and there were even toys for our 2 children to play with.

United Kingdom1 small issue WiFi was abit spotty in bedroom with single bed issues with streaming YouTube but absolutely fine for going on social media and Internet access.
Heather was so lovely honestly went out of her way to accommodate us we took 2 small children aged 14 months and 4 years old she would talk to them and always tried to entertain them during breakfast. Breakfast was lovely so many options. We didn't like cheery tomatoes so she switched them out for tin tomatoes. Went out of her way to get the kids chocolate shreddies when she didn't have to. The rooms where lovely brillaint for all aged family brilliant if you have mixed ages of kids (adult children travelling with you) even had a visit from one of the cats in the living area we had which the kids loved. The location of the property was great we did have a car however only took us 25 mins to walk along the beach to the pier (with 2 small kids). Would definitely stay here again.
