Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWith the weather being so hot the room was boiling and no fans are supplied so we had to have the windows open day and night to try and cool the room down. Unfortunately on this occasion, there were a few caravans full of undesirable people staying on the campsite that had no consideration for anyone else staying on the site or in the rooms. They allowed their children to run riot all around the campsite and up to the pub garden/decking. These children were charging around shouting on the Saturday evening until approx 2am and again on the Sunday night until approx 2.45am! So inconsiderate and even more so when everyone has to have all their windows open! We were not the only people who were not happy as other guests (both campers & room occupants) were voicing their opinions over breakfast each morning and while chatting walking our dogs in the dog field areas. We did tell a young girl on check out what had happened, but because the Manager wasn't around she was totally out of her depth and didn't even offer an apology. We thought we had found a place that we would visit every year, but this years experience has completely changed our mind. If this business continues to allow these sort of people to pitch their caravans on the site, their business will seriously suffer as we are just one couple out of many that will not return next year.
We've stayed here twice before. Once in one of the rooms and once in our caravan on the campsite and both previous stays have been fantastic. This year we opted to stay in a room again and friends of ours came to join us and stayed in their camper van on our recommendation. The facilities, location, cleanliness and pub food (the portions are huge and very reasonable priced) were all above expectation. This time our room was as expected and everything was top notch. The staff will go over and above to accommodate you and cant do enough for you.

NorwayNo adverse comment.
I was a little unsure abut this place before we arrived but Boy! was I wrong, The highlight of the Dartmoor Halfway Inn was undoubtably the staff. Unfailingly helpful and certainly cheerful at all times, this was the most service minded bunch we had met. We really liked this place. Breakfast, dinner, the beer garden were all great and the location close to the main artery through Devon allows trips out without hassle. The room was basic, but had everything we needed. This place we would definitely go back to - and recommend to others.

United KingdomA small bottle of milk was deposited outside the room each morning, however there is no fridge and so it wasn't possible to keep it cold. It was possible to get more milk from the pub. The small bottle of complimentary shampoo wasn't replaced, we stayed for 3 nights and so that wasn't really enough. The complimentary biscuits weren't replenished consistently.
The room was nice, it was clean and had access directly from outside, which was good for us because we had a dog with us. The staff were really pleasant and helpful

United KingdomThe paintwork in the room is quite tired. The bedding could do with updating, although clean it’s looking old and a bit frayed. The full breakfast was very tasty but a little mean on portions. The bread for toast is of a poor quality and thinly sliced. We love our thick homemade toast.
The room is very nice and located so you can’t hear the traffic on a busy road. The shower is very good pressure wise but not enough hot water to have 2 showers in a row. Love the quirkiness and the fresh milk delivered each morning, great. The towels are really nice, very clean and soft.

BelgiumEverything was perfect.
The accommodation was separate from the main building which is a restaurant/bar and was in a quiet location. Great large car park. The ensuite room is fabulous and finished at a very high level. Lots of freebies and a huge walk-in shower. It was very clean. I can't believe that I only paid £85 for a room which I would class as luxury. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food in the restaurant is very nice.

United KingdomMy goodness what a little gem of a find for our journey to Plymouth Port with our dog. From the moment we entered to be so professionally, courteously and kindly dealt with by ‘The Twins,’ we knew we had chosen well. The room was fabulous, with a huge bed and such a choice of refreshments. The bathroom had lots of fluffy towels and really upmarket toiletries. Our evening meal with the dog was exceptional. Then a walk around the grounds and adjoining, rather upmarket caravan site, so nice for the dog. Breakfast was just what we wanted, with a pot of tea and really good eggs. Immediately booked for our next trip.

Wonderful, friendly staff who welcomed us and our dog. The room had everything we needed, including toiletries and a good variety of refreshments with fresh milk delivered on the doorstep in the morning. The huge bed was ultra comfortable and the room was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Pub food was delicious with a great variety and obviously popular as an eatery with locals too. Ideal location for Ashburton and surrounding areas. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
