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 KingdomLocation is amazing with great estuary views. Excellent quality and comfort. Central to all things Appledore with easy parking on the road or nearby car park. Great service from the team who promptly resolved an issue we raised on our arrival. Instow beach is not far and there’s a fabulous long circular walk to Westward Ho and back through the Northam Burrows.

United KingdomThe location was perfect, directly on quayside with view straight onto the estuary. A great variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and a brilliant deli all within 200 yards. Lovely and warm, super clean, newly refurbished. Nice touches like fresh milk provided in fridge, coffee maker. Great bathroom/shower.

United KingdomThe only slght niggle was that the room was quite cold when we got there and took a bit of time to warm up. It was a really cold day. When it did it was toastie, so would have been good for the heating to be on before we arrived to warm it up ready for us.
A lovely cosy room with a great view of the river from the window. Excellent shower. Great there was a coffee machine and ironing board and iron. Comfy bed, clean and nicely decorated. We felt very at home there.

CanadaThe first night the heat cut out on me and it wasn’t until the next morning that I realized I had to reset the thermostat out in the hall in order to get heat in my room. I can see how the rooms at the front might suffer from street noise on a hot summer night.
The room was very comfortable and clean. Loved having a coffee maker and supplies in the room. The water in the fridge was a nice touch. Would definitely book here again.

AustraliaRadiator in bathroom not working properly. Kettle would be better if it was one that separates from base. Bin in bathroom broken/or breaks. Too cheap. Needs a higher mirror to use. Some local biscuits and tea bags would be a great touch. Just ideas and thoughts really.

United KingdomWe booked room only. We had the option to book breakfast, which would have been in a hotel further on own the road. This isn't the reason why we didn't book it, but if we had and it had been raining, this may have been inconvenient, especially with an early check out time of 10 a.m. Shame we only stayed for one night - would have loved to have stayed longer.
The bed was great - comfortable and large!! The room was spacious and had two chairs to sit on for relaxing with a cuppa. Also nice to have a small bottle of milk in the fridge (as well as water), rather than milk capsules for the hot drinks. Everything looked and smelt clean and new. The location was great - right on the riverfront with plenty of pubs/restaurants on the doorstep. Car park is also close by, but we managed to park on the street in front of the hotel.
