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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewExcellent location with hosts that went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They purchased fans so we could stay cool on a very hot weekend , left us welcome packs of essentials , super comfy beds and lovely interior .
The hall light was really annoying , coming on and off whenever you walked through especially at night as it bright lighted all of downstairs. The house is in an excellent location but needs some lower privacy film on the windows so you can still open them without everyone walking by seeing in, you otherwise feel very exposed. It would be beneficial to have two sets of key.

Verified reviewLovely and very good area, nicely decorated flat and supportive host, well equipped kitchen lot's of good information about the town and the area
No bedside lamp and electric socket next to the bed in the familybedroom. The basin was a bit too narrow so hard to wash your self.

Verified reviewThe flat was comforable and cozy and in a great location. No hassle, easy to get the keys. We didnt meet the staff because we didnt need to. Everything worked well and the place was furnished and decorated very nicely. Datmouth is a great place with a fab mix of restaurants and pubs.
The parking was more challenging than expected, but that's due to a numpty in the local council, not the apartment owners! There were no long term parking options. It was even impossible to buy multiday parking at the park n ride!!! So, we had to juggle the car. Come on Dartmouth, sort it out!!

Verified reviewGreat location in central Dartmouth. Just enough room for two couples and a baby. Well designed Excellent guide to the local area
Little things like no extra toilet tissue and no hand soap etc Also, Booking.com said it was a later check out than what the cleaner said. I’d advise guests to plan parking ahead of time. Overall, nothing major to worry about.

Verified reviewVery well presented, we loved all the fishy accessories . Great location
Automatic light in the hall and no hairdryer or seagull bin, apart from these minor things it was really good
Hi Chris, Thanks so much for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Apologies regarding the seagull bin, they had been stolen and we were just waiting a replacement. Will look at providing a hairdryer, good point!

Verified reviewSuperbly equipped property in a central location in the heart of Dartmouth town. Large central kitchen island was a key feature. Cosy, comfortable and well decorated. Comfortable large king size bed. Highly recommended and would stay again in future if visiting Dartmouth.
No parking near house. We used the out of town 'park n ride' as town car parks closed due to regatta weekend. Small toilet area (corner toliet would have been better!) but did not alter our great stay. Unable to lock windows when slightly open - a problem as pathway right outside bedroom windows so unable to leave windows open at night (safety reasons) therefore can be a bit stuffy. Staircase sensor light a problem, would be better to have a fixed switch
Hi Peter, Thanks so much for your review and feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back again. The windows do open downwards also so not sure if that would solve the issue at night time? Many thanks.

Verified reviewLocation modern decor.
No parking but I think this is a town issue not owners issue. Consider a fan as the rooms are so warm and with a little one in a bedroom cant open the windows enough and people passing by

Verified reviewWe liked the quirkiness of the property with the bedrooms downstairs and the decor was lovely. It was easy to find and convenient for everything local.
We had to remember to keep the blinds down when in one of the bedrooms as people looked straight in as they walked past.
