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 KingdomWe want to say a heartfelt thank you to Jane and Ivan for such a wonderful stay at No.22. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. Your warmth, thoughtfulness, and all the great advice on where to go and what to see made our trip extra special. The house is a beautifully presented home, everywhere was sparkling clean and clearly cared for with great attention to detail. Breakfast each morning was a real treat, with an array of choices all cooked fresh and to perfection. You're both such friendly and knowledgeable hosts, and we really appreciated everything you did to make our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully in the near future! With thanks, Katherine and Matthew

United KingdomIt was excellent. Nothing to complain about at all.
The property is a large terraced house on a quiet street in Barnstaple. Parking is best arranged with Jane the owner, in the form of a digital parking permit at £5 per day. Our 2nd floor rooms were outstanding and very spacious with a comfortable bed, a separate lounge and seating area with the TV and tea coffee making equipment. The bathroom was also large with a powerful rainfall shower cubicle and a stand alone bath. The whole house was very clean with beautiful furniture. The breakfast was selected the day before and cooked to order fresh the next morning. Jane was an excellent host with a great knowledge of the best places to see ( and those to avoid) around and about in North Devon.

United KingdomNothing. Really nice property.
Owners were available for check-in. Great manner, with nothing too much trouble. Room was really decked out nice and breakfast was exceptional. Parking is nearby and not outside the property. Again, owners sorted out something closer, but it didn't matter. Short walk into Barnstaple, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the place. Worth every penny.
