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...).

Exceptional well equipped spacious property, very clean, full of natural light, and hosts John & Anne were exceptional. We booked this property as a base for attending our daughter's wedding, and the large kitchen and lounge were great for family entertaining. Every day, there were birds, rabbits, and pheasants in the garden to look at. The surrounding garden provided a great backdrop for taking family photos. The property is in a peaceful area yet close to local amenities and attractions.

We would not hesitate to book this accommodation again if we returned to the area. Thank you John and Anne. !!!

United KingdomWe recently had the pleasure of staying at this luxurious barn conversion nestled near the picturesque Tarka Trail in Devon, and it was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the charm of the welcoming hosts and the beautifully renovated barn. The attention to detail in the design and decor was impeccable, seamlessly blending modern amenities with the rustic ambiance of the countryside setting. The interior was spacious, yet cozy, with comfortable furnishings and plush bedding that made everyone feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen with a large family-sized dining table was the perfect spot to enjoy priceless family time. The lounge was positioned with delightful views of the surrounding countryside, we playfully nicknamed the lounge area our "Zen Barn" due to the mesmerising effect while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside, truly a place to simply chill and watch as nature weaves its magic. After a busy day attending a family wedding, returning to the barn felt like returning to our private luxury sanctuary. The hospitality of the hosts truly exceeded all of our expectations. They were warm, welcoming, and always available to recommend local attractions and dining options. Their passion for the area was contagious, making our short stay all the more memorable.

United KingdomA very spacious, clean and well equipped property with everything you need for a comfortable stay for up to 8 or 9 people. It definitely exceeded our expectations. John was a welcoming and helpful host. Very quiet and peaceful location with lovely views of the countryside. Supermarket just a 3 minute drive away. Lots to do nearby, plenty of activities for kids and adults. We hired bikes and went north on the Tarka Trail which was a great day out. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay.
