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 would happily use this place again. Blackout curtains would have helped me, as our room was not completely dark over night. The Telstar carpark is also a tight fit, but it was fine for our small car.
The location was perfect for us, the room was comfortable and I loved the little stack of old style suitcases, the top one was actually a record player. The staff we met were all friendly and helpful. There is a cute courtyard in the centre and other quirky decorations here and there. We didn't have breakfast but wished we had booked it as it looked good. We could smell bacon when we woke up!

South AfricaThe Hotel is quite close to the station but requires a walk up a steep hill to get there. It is also a fair (but pleasant) walk to the University, if one is visiting there.
We were surprised to find that the Telstar is in an old house - and has been going for years! It was homely, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was generous and delicious.

United KingdomThe room decor was a bit dated. The towels were rather small and worn, and we had to ask for an extra one as there weren’t enough for 2 people (the extra one was lovely and fluffy!)
The room was lean and comfortable; we were able to get a very nice bottle of wine from reception; the staff were friendly & helpful; and the breakfast was excellent.

United KingdomThe room was a little small but as we were out most of the day this wasn't an issue for us. And the bathroom is a bit of a squeeze but again not an issue for us, but could be for those less mobile or larger!
The location for getting into the center of Exeter was fantastic, a short 10 minute walk with a fabulous bakery (The Exploding Bakery) along the way. The free parking, although a little tight to get round the corner, was excellent. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Scrummy breakfast, and plenty of choice.

United KingdomThe croissants were stale and the presentation of the breakfast was a little poor and unappetising. Creaky beds and mattresses not so good. No solid bar of soap. Too much emphasis on conservation.
We loved the courtyard, especially the tiles on the floor but more could have been done by adding flowering plants. The room was fine. The historical items gave interest and were enjoyable to look at. We welcomed the fact that the place was fully licensed but it would be greatly improved if light meals and snacks and pastries were offered. We were very pleased that it was pet friendly even though we didn’t have a pet. All in all, a good night’s stay and we would book it again.
