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...).

NetherlandsWe booked our breakfast at 9:30 but we got at 10:33. The we were pushed out by one of the house keeper, a young guy, who is telling me my check out time is 11:00… this is not pleasant at all.
The hotel staffs are extremely friendly. You feel so welcomed. We booked our breakfast at 9:30 but till 10:15 still not served. One of the girl just keep checking with kitchen and pushing really hard without us reminding her. Super sweet ladies!

We loved every minute. Beautiful large room, an home from home. Very comfy beds with crisp white sheets. Large cosy towels in the bathroom. The hotel is in the centre of Topsham and great that there is parking. We will be back.

United KingdomWe only stayed 1 night Sunday-Monday. The hotel has no resident staffing overnight on Sunday but the galley kitchen was available to guests and well stocked for breakfast and the venue is so convenient there is a good choice of nearby restaurants/pubs - although I understand that the restaurant at Salutation Inn has an excellent reputation and is well worth sampling. The hotel is quaint, clean and was very quiet. Car parking (if booked) is a bonus. The arrangements were seamless and their website is very informative so, no surprises. A very enjoyable stay.

United KingdomMy room overlooked the main road through Topsham and was consequently noisier than I would have liked. However, this is a minor complaint.
The room was very comfortable. I had an evening meal and breakfast the following morning. Both were first rate. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return.

United KingdomThe staff were so polite and helpful - The room was simple but tastefully decorated and spotless. Loved the concept of a shared kitchen where you could self serve complementary coffee/ tea and toast. I didn’t use the restaurant due to an alternative location but the choice and quality looked amazing. Being central to Topsham it was a great bonus to have free parking on site.
