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...).

United KingdomThe rooms aren't serviced, which wasn't a problem for us, but perhaps would have been nice if the rooms were checked and complimentary tea and coffee supplies replenished, though when asked for they were quickly replaced
Lovely little hotel set in beautiful scenery, really comfortable room with lovely large, comfortable bed. Buddy and Kate were lovely, friendly hosts, great atmosphere in the hotel bar and restaurant that served a delicious combination of traditional and Caribbean food, the traditional Curried Goat was great!

United KingdomMy only complaint was the fog which made it hard to see the lovely view!! I am determined to come back another time when the weather is better.
I liked my room which was very comfortable and had a large television and good wifi. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner the night before was first class.The dining room was warm and cosy and Christmassy. The service from the staff was great. I believe that the view from the hotel is beautiful and it is close to Ilminster which is a delightful little town.

United KingdomNot a lot if anything to be negative about, as a Familly owned and run Business they have pulled the Rabbit out of the bag here. They even find time to run a Wedding Venue, which must be perfect for guests with so much to offer.
Excellent choice of cooked breakfast, from a full English to an omelette Maybe not suited to those looking for a Continental breakfast, with only juice / cereals I had the Best Steak EVER served in the Bar, and a live entertainment venue afterwards where about 6 musicians came in and jammed on a table next to ours - how cool was that !

United KingdomI booked an accessible room for a trip away with my Mum and it suited us perfectly. It had great access for wheelchair users, plenty of space in the room and bathroom. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable! We had dinner and breakfast next door and the food was outstanding, we’ve recommended it to friends who live locally. All the staff we met were wonderful and the spread they laid for breakfast was a really special touch. We will come back!
