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...).

We absolutely loved it at Wrens Nest. Jenny and Kenny were the perfect hosts. It was so homely. One night just wasn't enough. We appreciate the bread, cereals, eggs, jams, milk. Water, tea, and coffee. All the little extras. Smart TV in the lounge and bedroom. Lovely night sleep. Gorgeous garden. Even invited us to their BBQ. It was the perfect start to our holiday. It has been a difficult few months for me, and it was just the tonic I needed. Excellent value for money. in fact, it is worth so much more. Thank you. We would love to return and stay longer.

United KingdomWe enjoyed our stay in this lovely property, but unfortunately, we did encounter one issue - the windows were quite tricky to open. However, this didn't detract too much from our overall experience. The garden is a real highlight, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. It's a beautiful outdoor area, perfect for spending time with family or pets. The only thing to note is that it's situated near a busy road, so care needs to be taken when crossing. Despite the window issue, we'd still recommend this property to others. With a bit of attention to the windows, it would be absolutely perfect.
"We had a wonderful stay in this lovely property! 🤩 The attention to detail was amazing, with all the little extras like butter, milk, and eggs making us feel right at home. 🥛🥚 The dog towels were a lovely touch too, showing the owners really care about their furry guests 🐾❤️. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with Axminster, Seaton, and Lyme Regis all within easy reach 🚗. We loved wandering around these charming towns and taking in the beautiful scenery 🌳. Overall, we would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base in the area 👍. Thanks to the owners for making our stay so special!"

The beds were very comfortable, the shower was powerful, everything was clean, the kitchen well stocked with anything you might need for cooking/ food prep,etc. I appreciated the teabags & milk after my long journey!there was also a loaf of bread, eggs, jam, etc. Ken & Jenny are lovely hosts, showed us around the cottage & the huge garden across the road. They just let us get on with it, but I felt if I had any questions or needed advice, they'd have been more than happy to help. Location was perfect for us, only a 15min drive to various beaches.

United KingdomThere was absolutely no complaints from our stay - we had a wonderful time!
The wrens nest is situated in a gorgeous rural location. The property was well equipped, clean, spacious and for a family with a small person felt like home from home!!! The gorgeous garden including geese was an absolute highlight for us! As a family that don't drive we walked into town several times with our 4 year-old and the route is fully pathed. The hosts provided lovely extras in the property - milk, butter, eggs, bread, jams and a selection of cereals . Kenny and Jenny also provided information on transport options for our stay specifically tailored to us... Jenny and Kenny were the loveliest hosts and we could not have asked for more. We are are already planning next trip and we have only been home 6 hours! We will you again soon

Everything you could possibly need is provided. The accommodation was very homely and welcoming. Beds we're very comfortable. Even though the accommodation is situated next to a main road, you can barely hear the traffic inside the building. There is an outstanding private garden across the road next to the river with chairs, hammocks and a fire pit. Would definitely book again. Thank you 😊
