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...).

Very comfortable rooms with good bathrooms en suite; brilliantly relaxing after a day walking. Excellent dinner in the pub cooked to a good standard washed down by some lovely beer and wine!

United KingdomNot complaints as none of it affected us, but things to be aware of. This is a 14th century building so there are narrow stairs to the rooms. The rooms are compact, and the ceiling in our shower would probably not suit anyone over 6ft in height. Parking is very limited during busy times. Access to the village is via a narrow , single track, road. We thought it was characterful, but if you’re picky, you might see it differently.
Super friendly staff at the bar and at check in the evening we arrived. The room is compact, but had all the facilities for our one night stay, and the en suite shower room was excellent. The bed was comfy and despite the restaurant being fully booked with 92 guests and a stag party, we had a completely undisturbed nights sleep. Although we didn’t eat in the evening, the menu looked very good, especially the seafood options. Price for a bank holiday Friday, including a brilliant cooked breakfast, was very competitive. A short stroll down the road to the beautiful beach and views over the river Avon.

United KingdomThe mattress wasn’t very comfortable. I could feel the inside of the mattress and it was slightly down on one side. However, not a deal breaker as the rest of the stay was excellent.
Everything! Lovely rooms, excellent location and fabulous food both evening and breakfast.

United KingdomThe rooms were a little cramped and could be hot at times along with a little noisy being above the pub but that did die down later in the evening. The rooms met our needs but were very basic.
Good location to the beach and Bantham estate, handy having the rooms above the pub itself for food and drinks.

Breakfast was plentiful and ok. Room was simple and clean. Tea and biscuits available self service.

United KingdomJust for information, parking is very limited (although it was possible to find an overnight space) and guests should expect to park in the main beach car park if arriving during the day. This is an old building and walls / floors are thin - noise travels from the bar and restaurant below and also between rooms! The cooked breakfast (included) was good but other choices were limited (no fruit, yoghurt for example, limited cereals). Those awful butter portions! The lady serving breakfast was clearly not mentally present, she failed to greet us on arrival and service was perfunctory at best, a big contrast to what we had received in the bar and restaurant the previous evening. Attention is required also to cleaning of the bathrooms.
The Sloop Inn is in a wonderful location, just a short walk from Batham beach and quay. We were welcomed into the Inn on arrival and found our room well located with a good view down to the estuary. Rooms are well proportioned with modern, nautical decor. The bed was well-sized and comfortable and the bathroom well-appointed. Dinner was excellent and like the rest of the stay, very good value, with the chef / landlord making a particular effort to ensure guests were happy in the evening.

United KingdomNothing to dislike as long as you remember you are staying in a hotel that was built 100's of years ago and full of character.
Friendly staff, excellent food, car parking, Dog Friendly, and 2 minutes to the beach. Perfect stay with your dog. The room was clean and warm. I have stayed several times recently and will continue to return as it suits my needs perfectly.
