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 KingdomUnfortunately the people before had 2 dogs and so there was a distinct wet dog smell throughout the house which never left. I suspect having carpets and a material sofa has meant that it is a hard smell to remove.
Views were wonderful. Facilities were great. Hosts were great with instructions.

NetherlandsHard to find anything really. Need to be careful when driving to and from the cottage. The location is great, just a few minutes from Tiverton and 25 miles from Exeter, but some very narrow lanes requiring careful driving. Certainly wouldn’t prevent us from coming again though!
We have stayed at many different properties both in the UK and mainland Europe. This was by far the best! Well equipped, comfortable and clean. It really was a “home from home” with obvious care taken to provide the guest with everything required. Beautiful en-suite bedrooms, great views over the surrounding countryside, private parking space, multi channel TV and excellent WiFi (important for us).

United KingdomNit picking really, as it’s such a lovely place - windows need a good clean! Not a moan, just an observation! Some nice comfy outdoor lounging furniture would also be like icing on the cake, and make use of the amazing south facing sunny views.
Although a little remote, along country lanes it’s all worth it for the views! The place is amazing, fully equipped with nice extra touches that make you feel at home.

Great place and with all the facilities. Great for a family trip. Bideford, Barnstaple, Illfracombe, Torquay, Exeter all conveniently within a hour drive so 10/10 in terms of location.

United KingdomNothing to dislike about the property itself, more the Devon bridleways. We wanted to walk from property to check out local surrounding walks via the nearby bridal paths but most we came across were unkept, blocked off, unaccessible or signage was damaged.
Very friendly, well travelled lovely hosts and their sweet mannered dog, beautiful spacious accommodation, decent WiFi connection, clean, well equipped, tastefully designed throughout with nice touches, fantastic showers, good detailed information book. Loved the welcome pack: milk tea, coffee, chocolate biscuits, mini jams/chocolate spread, milk and herbal tea selection. Also the kitchen had salt and pepper other basic spices and cling film, foil, baking paper, dish washing up liquid, clothes detergents tablets and dog bowls, this saved us a lot of packing and we were able to just relax on arrival with a cuppa after a long drive without going to the shops. Centrally located in Devon so could drive to many places within an hour's drive, not far from town for all the food shops etc but property in a very quiet rural area, nice to get away from all noise, you might just hear the odd sheep. Incredible rolling hill views from the balcony which also overlooks the owners main garden and farm fields. The outside areas at the back were fully gated with an enclosed small court yard which was safe for my two small dogs. Thank you for our lovely stay!

United KingdomWhere do we start ! On arrival our first impressions were not good as the approach to the property was desperately in need of some TLC as the garden the paths had plenty of weeds growing along with more weeds in the garden areas. Not a good first impression. The downstairs areas were not clean by any standards. Floors not swept crumbs aplenty on the sofas so we removed them to clean them up but there were plenty more more to add to what was visible. Behind all furniture was also dirty so we cleaned that up as well.The glass in the windows had blown which did not look good. Dropped a jam jar top behind the washing machine which was a dirty mess. The stairs were covered with fluff as a new carpet had been laid at sometime but nobody had thought to clean that up so we left it. The decking overlooking a jungle was also filthy as were the chairs and table so we cleaned these as well before we could use them. We would have complained to the owners if we had met them but found out they were in Australia. We are really sorry to have to write this review but felt we needed to tell the facts.
The location was perfect for us. Spacious property and fixture and fitting were good. there was everything you could need to make your stay easy. Upstairs was immaculate lovely clean beds and clean bathrooms.
