How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Room was a little too warm at night. The window opener was not restricted, it was either fully out or closed. There is a very noisy dripping gutter to the left hand corner of the opposite wall and as a result of it having rained meant the window couldn't be left open to cool the room whilst sleeping. Wife is a light sleeper.
Breakfast was great with a varied choice. Staff were very pleasant. Short walk in to the City Centre.

The sound insulation between rooms isn't great, but once I was aware it was manageable. The breakfast was average. The scrambled egg had very obviously not been cooked for me and had been sitting under a warmer for some time, very dry and tasteless.
Room was clean and comfortable, and the power-shower was the best I've ever used. Well organised.

It is on a busy road so the traffic was noticeable but not disruptive.
The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a good location to walk to the quayside in Exeter and convenient for train travel.

I got what I paid for so, while I might have liked a larger bathroom, it was fine and there was nothing that I did not like.
It was a comfortable but very small room at the back of the hotel which just fitted my one night stay on a 24 hour trip to Exeter. Tea and coffee was available in the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly when my initial flight was cancelled and I had to delay my visit. Finally the breakfast was wonderful! It was all freshly cooked and extremely tasty.

The breakfast was very nice, with a good choice of food, served by a waitress on clean white table cloth in a lovely room with a wide bay window. Ample free parking as well, I didn't expect it to be as nice as it was for the very reasonable price.

Unfortunately the heating in our room was not working so it go a bit chilly in the night. Shower only had the wall mounted hose so it was not possible to take shower without washing your hair (tip: bring the shower cap).
Nice place. not too far from the old town. Free parking which was not busy during our stay. We got a big room which was very convenient for us. Very good breakfast!
