How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewReception staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.
The check in was a little complicated because the building is on a hill so floor levels and room numbering took some getting used to.

Verified reviewGood buffet breakfast. Nice staff.
Basic student room with a cramped walk-in shower. Had a room with a view but had to ask for a change from a room that backed immediately onto the hillside. Inexplicable given the fact the hall was practically empty. Oppressive at night with no aircon. Steep access to the hall so not for those with mobility issues. Overpriced for what was offered.
Dear Ian, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the good breakfast and nice staff. We are sorry to hear that you found the room oppressive, fans are available from reception if required. We regularly review our pricing and benchmark this against the local properties and similar style properties nationally to ensure we are providing value for money at a competitive rate. We will pass your feedback on to our Sales Team. Kind regards EVENT EXETER

The location is closest to Exeter St Davids station but the walk is almost entirely uphill

It was all good. Only suggestion I can think of is replacing tinned tomatoes with real ones at breakfast. Rest of breakfast was delicious.

The car park is not close to the accommodation. The nearest car park is small and the road leading to Holland House is very steep and if you have mobility problems then think twice.

Verified reviewEverything was incredibly clean and the bed was very comfortable
The room was incredibly hot but the lady at the reception kindly offered a fan which we left in max for a few hours and managed to sleep comfortably. There were no toiletries due to the sheer amount of last minute bookings. The bathroom was not what we expected but considering these are student accommodations I supposed they’re ok.
