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 KingdomIt is what it looks like, three bedrooms above a cafe/resto. You have to let yourself into the cafe outside of their working hours, and then lock up once you are in - a responsibility I didn't feel comfortable with. Rooms need a lick of paint, new carpet and sound proofing to the extent that you don't hear every fart and conversation next door.
It's a great location, close to the shops and restaurants. The bed is comfy, and the team have put effort into some of the small touches.

The room was comfortable and well equipped. The location was brilliant. This was perfectly fine for the price we paid at a premium time of year .

United KingdomThe weather was very hot and I had to have the windows open. I was woken at 4am by seagulls and was unable to get back to sleep.
The location was on the coastal path which I was walking, so this was an ideal location. The town had many useful facilities.

Everything was in the room that you needed from tea and coffee and some makeup remover, which my wife thought was a really nice touch.

United KingdomUnfortunately the property is very tired, and has a ‘studenty’ feel. The walls are peeling and stained, and the bedsheets smelt musty, as if they hadn’t been dried properly. This is particularly unpleasant to sleep in, and does not inspire confidence in the cleanliness of the rest of the place. I understand that this property is on the more competitive side of pricing for the location, so can forgive cosmetic failings. But for bedsheets to smell unpleasant lies on the side of hygiene, for which there can be zero compromise. And take earplugs, the seagulls are noisy (not the property’s fault, this is the whole of Dartmouth, but be warned!).
The property is very well located in the centre of Dartmouth, and provides a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. There seems to be a convention of coffee and tea in the room, which is appreciated, but the coffee tin in mine had only half a scoop left in it, so wasn’t particularly useful.

United KingdomThe bathroom had some maintenance issues (toilet seat, noisy pipes for water to basin). Seagull noise was very intrusive (although hosts offered earplugs).
The location is great, right in the centre of the old town. The hosts provided great instructions and were at the end of the phone should we need them.

United Kingdommattress old in need of replacing, as were pillows - although there were allot of them they were hard and irregularly lumpy. Listing says about fridge and 'honour system to pay' in kitchen, plus tablet pre-loaded for t.v in room. House keeping chap said they no longer provide a tablet as guests keep breaking them . The use of a fridge is only in 'high season or when they're busy. Asked for later check out ( even texted and called but no- response for over 24 hours, so had to book as it was a last minute no choice ) which was pretty essential for the stay - even by 30 mins - was told initially the room was booked due to 'the events at the Naval college' like I'd stayed to attend. In fact there were only 22 people passing out that morning, and none the next, the room wasn't booked at all. The house keeping assistant said it was because they had a 'viewing' at 11am. The internet connection details were sent on the 3rd page of the long check in process. Like most people would, I read though and checked on the info provided (an A4 printout on back of the door) and initially used that, which was out of date. There's only 3 rooms - maybe 5 minutes spent printing out up to date info would be a courtesy worth doing? This info also stated in capitols CHECK OUT 10am - it felt like they would never consider any leeway, so that should be stated on the initial page.
great location, very clean, lots of pillows, nice bedding, lovely old building. Good selection of hot drinks including real coffee (which I found eventually as it was in a neat little narrow drawer under the mug stand -didn't see it initially as I'd put my sunglasses case in front concealing the 'pullout hole')! Ultra quick strong wi-fi

United KingdomThe toilet cistern was not working in one of the rooms, but it wasn’t a major issue and could be overcome by flushing from inside the cistern. Had our stay been longer and the issue reported, I’m sure it would have been easily rectified.
Location was perfect. Access was easy, whole process was easy , some people might like a more personal experience, but the remote instructions/communications worked well for me, instructions were clear and easy . It made the whole process very simple and efficient.
