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 KingdomOnly a small thing but a lamp in the bedroom off the kitchen would be a good addition
The kitchen was great. A lovely sunny spot looking out of the bay window across the roof tops. The main bedroom was charming with a great view of Dartmouth. All the extras, like the wine and biscuits, coffee machine and Netflix were much appreciated. We felt very much at home. It was a lovely place to relax and spend time in.

United KingdomNeither shower was great, with neither being especially hot. Some extra blankets in the lounge would have helped slightly chilly evenings. A few dishwasher tablets would have helped given we came by public transport for just a few days.
Location, size, cleanliness, sunny front deck, two bathrooms.

Great location. The house was very clean, warm and well decorated. We liked the kitchen space and it was very well equipped with quality cookware and plenty of crockery. 7We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomHad to unload the car and negotiate steep stairs in the darkness and rain when we first arrived. This area was poorly lit. We had been aware of the steep stairs to access the property before we arrived, so that was not a surprise. A light in this area would have helped. Had to reset the central heating thermostat a few times as it seemed to be very hot. Always reverted to 25degrees. Couldn't see instructions for the heating in the cottage manual. Wasn't a huge problem but a bit annoying.
Cottage location was perfect for our requirements. Central and convenient. Lots of space for 5 adults. Well equipped cottage, everything we needed. Handy for parking. Christmas tree gave it a festive touch.

United KingdomNothing major to note.
Property was superb, very clean, modern fittings and well equipped. The location being in the heart of Dartmouth was terrific and we enjoyed the ability to walk (flat) no more than a 100 yards to be in the centre of the town. Yes, there was a few steps to enter the property, but you did not have to be a "mountain goat" to get to some properties we considered. The parking permit for the Mayors Car Park was is very good, as parking on Dartmouth can be very challenging.

United KingdomThe outside patio area was very grubby and needed a good clean, the steps leading up to the cottage are rough and had sharp edges resulting in my partner sustaining a badly cut toe one one. This area alone lets the cottage down .

United KingdomIt had everything you needed for an enjoyable, sociable family break away. We took our adult family and we all had a wonderful time. The kitchen and lounge lend themselves to sociable living. The little garden is a sun trap of an afternoon, just delightful.

United StatesSince our stay was short, I would have been nice to have a little bit of laundry detergent available to us. We ended up buying a box a leaving it behind. The layout was charming and well-furnished but we struggled with keeping our kids safe the entirely of our stay. Those steep stairs were a challenge.
We loved the location and the layout. The full kitchen provided us just what was needed for quick meals to the toddlers. We also used the bath tub for our littles.

United KingdomNothing really other than it would have been handy to have paper towels in the kitchen and a sponge for dishes (but those can be bought at the shop nearby).
The cottage was perfect, very clean and spacious and in perfect location - within minutes' walk to town centre. The beds were comfy, good shower, a very well equipped kitchen. We felt like home and enjoyed our stay very much. On the first day we noticed that a kitchen sink had a leak so I called the company managing the property. The managing agents were super responsive and have sent someone in to fix the leak right away. They were also very helpful in answering our questions (we arrived quite late in the night). Thank you for everything, we really enjoyed Gulls' Rest and would definitely stay there again!

United KingdomOur 2 year old granddaughter was in the bath and the shower door came off & landed on the poor thing. And whilst I realise tv isn’t the be all & end all there was no WiFi & consequently no ty for the little ones to watch. It would also have been ideal if we’d have been given a second parking permit.
Absolutely amazing location. You just park up & can enjoy the splendours of charming Dartmouth.

United KingdomLots of little things were not right such as missing fittings in one of the bathrooms, cleanliness again in one of the bathrooms, no loo roll on arrival. The outside space needs some TLC. Out of their control but there is a lot of renovation/construction works happening at the property next door and in the local vicinity which starts around 8ish.
Great location. Tastefully decorated.
