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.).

This is honestly the most minor of quibbles but the wardrobe door wouldn't shut properly without some difficulty.
I stayed for 2 nights in a single room. The room was spotless, nicely decorated and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The real winner here though is the service. I received a very warm welcome and the service from everyone was extremely good throughout my stay. They even helped arrange a lift to Lyme from an incredibly kind local as the bus service on Sunday is patchy at best. This meant I got to spend my last morning beachcoming instead of hanging around waiting for my train. The pub is well known and frequented by locals but I didn't feel our of place as an out of towner. They are welcoming to all and I ended up eating there both nights, partly for convenience but the food was great. I can recommend the bacon sandwich for breakfast which was delicious.

having to use my breakfast plate for my marmalade toast! A side plate would have been nice. Room rather cold when we arrived and needing a rest, heating not on .
We were pleased there was a vegan option. We always take our own spread, but it would be helpful for other vegans/dairy intolerant if it was stated clearly beforehand that vegan spread isn't available.

The only downside was that our room was not cleaned on our second day. When we reported it, it was done quickly though - obviously just an accidental omission. This is our second stay here, and we will certainly go again if staying in the area.

We have always been happy with the rooms allocated to us on arrival, however this time we were very disappointed with the room. We asked to move to a better room and we had to pay to 'upgrade' to a different room.
The location is perfect for a nights rest during regular journies between Cornwall and the South East. We own an electric car and we are pleased to be able to charge the car nearby. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We enjoy the evening meals we have when we arrive, and the breakfast in the morning, before we leave. We would like to mention that we had booked a room and an evening meal a few weeks before this stay. When we were delayed, because of a serious car accident on the road ahead of us, we called to say that we may be arriving too late for the meal. The staff kindly stayed on until we arrived.

from a few options I go with Full English Breakfast(bacon, sausage, mushroom, toasted bread and butter, baked beans, egg and was good enough. Their coffee was delicious and there is a corner for more jam/honey, cereal and orange juice. bed was comfortable and there are 2 pairs of pillows , great!
