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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomThere is nothing bad to say about this place.
Very clean and quiet room. Lovely friendly hosts, knowledgeable about the area and gave excellent recommendations. Will stay here again. Walking distance from town (bit hilly but manageable)

The cooked breakfast was really good and cooked perfectly. The location was was just right for us - a short walk by a stream onto the seafront avoided the hills! We also had a glimpse of the sea from our room.

A perfect place to stay for a visit to Lyme Regis. We had a twin room and stayed for 3 nights- our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed including a great shower and very comfortable beds. Cooked breakfast in the pretty breakfast room each morning was spot on with lots of options to eat and drink. Our hosts were friendly and very helpful with lots of suggestions and information about the local area. We arrived by train and the bus from Axminster was quick and easy stopping just a 5 min walk away so a great choice if you're travelling via public transport. The location really was great for us, less than a 10 min walk along the river and past pretty houses and shops down to the beach. 100% would recommend this property and we will stay here again when we next return to Lyme Regis.

Where do I start? Charnwood Guest House is an absolute gem. The property is beautiful and perfectly located—just a short, scenic walk from the beach and the heart of Lyme Regis. Our room was cozy, comfortable, and simply perfect. We slept with the window open both nights, enjoying the fresh sea air, the peaceful chirping of birds, and the occasional call of seagulls—it was idyllic. The hosts were incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming. They even went out of their way to store our bikes safely in their garage, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was a real highlight. Although we rarely eat breakfast, we couldn’t resist the tempting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the delicious bacon -it was the perfect start to the day. We completely fell in love with Lyme Regis, and if we’re lucky enough to return, we’ll definitely be staying at Charnwood again. Highly recommended!

Phil and Ruth were lovely. They were very welcoming and helpful. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We particularly enjoyed walking from their house along the River Lim path into Lyme Regis for supper. I was with my elderly parents. Phil and Ruth gave us great ideas for places to visit and provided excellent local knowledge to advise us about level walks, suitable for my parents

United KingdomIf coming in from the west then the satnav tries to turn you into a one way street. You need to drop to the next road and come back up. Parking is tight but manageable.
Great breakfast, wonderful hosts and great value for money. A nice easy walk along the river Lym into town to miss all the hills. Just approximately 50 metres down a steep hill to the footpath along the river

Charnwood guest house is in an excellent location. It is a very pleasant easy walk along a little river past some historic cottages and a mill into Lyme Regis. You can also walk the other way to Uplyme which was lovely too. We preferred being on the outskirts and walking into Lyme Regis. The parking was really useful, and I am really glad that I booked accommodation with parking. Our room (room 4) was very compact with a small double bed but was very well appointed and it had everything you need (including tea and coffee making facilities). Although small, it was absolutely fine for a couple of nights. Our room also had views of Lyme Regis, which was a pleasant surprise. The freshly cooked breakfasts were delicious. Finally, Ruth and Phil were fantastic hosts and gave us lots of really useful information about Lyme Regis. We were very pleased with our choice of accommodation and I would not hesitate to recommend Charnwood guest house.

Charnwood is a lovely B and B in an excellent location. Ruth and Phil are wonderful hosts with an abundance of local knowledge and information. Cleanliness is of a high standard. Breakfast is lovely, with choices to suit all dietary requirements. Car parking is available at the B and B. A short walk into town along the riverside is a must. I would recommend Charnwood to family and friends.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like. The only small thing that could’ve made it even better would have been a bit more space to store our clothes. The drawers in the bedside cabinet were very small and there was very little hanging space for clothes. But we coped fine for the three days we were there.
We stayed here at this lovely guesthouse for 3 nights in May 25. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts, and our room was clean, and comfortable with a nice view from the window with the sea in the distance. The bed was especially comfortable and we both slept well. The breakfasts were great- lots of choice of cereals, a fabulous full English breakfast and as much toast & jam and fresh fruit as we wanted. All in all we had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend it. It’s in a nice quiet position but in easy walking distance to the town / seafront. The car parking on site was also excellent.
