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 had a problem with the pressure in the shower but this is unusual and Helen was super in sorting. Only tip I would say is although the coffee pods were nice there were only two and they were different types. Would prefer more coffee as don't drink tea.
The location is excellent it's nestled in the grounds of the hotel near the vineyards with easy access to the coastal path and a cute seating area just outside the room. We liked the biscuits tea coffee, bread and jam. Helen was super helpful and on hand to deal with issues. The bed was lovely and comfortable. A lovely place to stop over on our way to Cornwall. We will come again for sure. You have to think of this like a hotel room with tea and coffee facilities and the added advantage of a toaster and decent fridge. Sort of like a bed and breakfast. There isn't a sink apart from in the bathroom and this initially surprised us til we worked out that all the dirty stuff would be dealt with by Helen. There are glasses and small plates and an outside area to sip a glass of wine and eat some cheese (local supermarket in Lympstone) but you can't really clean anything.

Excellent location where we could walk or cycle along the estuary to Exmouth, Lympstone or further. Milk, tea, coffee & muffins were available when we arrived which was a really nice addition to the stay. Hosts were very knowledgeable about the area & were happy for us to contact them if we had any additional questions.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything to dislike.
We had a wonderful stay. This really is a stunning location, within 100 metres of the Exe Estuary and although you can't see directly from the room itself, it's only a few steps away from a vineyard as well. Communication from the owners, including directions, was friendly and informative, as was the lovely welcome when we arrived. A supply of things for breakfast was also very welcome. Thank you. We took a walk along the coastal path in the evening, again just a short walk away. We would love to spend a bit longer here at some stage in the future.

United KingdomA longer stay
Tucked away in the grounds of a smart hotel, the room at Nigel & Helen's was exactly what we needed. We arrived late, after a horrible drive, and Nigel was there to welcome us. Wonderfully comfortable bed, good shower & tea & coffee making equipment, and there were crumpets and marmalade in the fridge for breakfast. Wonderful location close to the estuary at Lympstone - we wish we'd be staying longer. Excellent value for money. Thank you!

NetherlandsExceptionally nice, friendly and helpful hosts. They left breakfast in the fridge and even brought us some watermelon they had left. Great location, in between Lympstone and Exmouth, right by the estuary with nice clean air. Nice place to walk or cycle, also walkable from the train station, though do ask for directions from there as it's a bit tricky to find. Bed was very comfortable. The room is on the smaller side, but that makes it cozy and it's everything you need for the price. Only thing to consider is that there is no way to warm up food (except the kettle), in our case Helen was nice enough to do it for us :) Also the garden is lovely too, loved hearing and seeing the birds (and squirrel).

It was just perfect. Comfortable clean and in such a pretty setting. Helen made us so welcome, even very kindly offered to drop us to pick up our car the next morning from the village. The muffins and jam were a lovely added touch that we didn’t expect. Very homely. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

The ideal accommodation for a short comfortable stay. Set in beautiful grounds it is a very safe option for someone or a couple wanting a quiet rest. The place was spotless with a comfortable bed. Well equipped ensuite and kitchenette facilities. You really couldn't ask for better for the price. I'll definitely be back. If it's not booked out!
