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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaThe welcome and attention to detail offered by Piper and Terrance is exceptional. The Devonian is possibly the best value for money accommodation we have stayed at and is highly recommended. Of particular note were the breakfast, Terrance's advice about local highlights and Pipers magical drawing-room.

I honestly can't give this a higher score. Outstanding in every way. Beds, cleanliness, hosts, grounds, breakfast. These guys go above and beyond any other place I've ever stayed in the UK. I cannot wait to go back, ASAP. Just fabulous 🥰

GermanyIt was such a pleasure, staying in the beautiful house of Piper and Terence. I would give 20 points, if I could. They are the perfect hosts, hearty and welcoming, and they go twenty extra miles to make you feel extra comfortable. Including tipps for interesting excursions or the best pubs, printed little maps for coastal walks, dried clothes overnight, help with parking your car and much more. I liked the interior as well a lot, every room has a different style, the bed is comfy, the view out of the window at the garden and the green valley is beautiful. There is a small sauna, a fitness room, a reading room and a tiny cinema. A fab outdoor terrace and a magic and huge garden with small paths. It’s very close to the coastal path and a 10-minute-walk into the city. Almost forgot, breakfast is of course delicious. Thanks a lot, Piper and Terence!

Although a short distance away from the sea front it was better for this having a nicer view of the valley and quieter. The breakfasts were superb with a great choice and freshly made. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming if they tried and l have never said this in my life but l feel they do not charge enough for what they offer.

United KingdomWe loved everything from start to finish. It exceeded our expectations. The decor of the hotel was very stylish and immaculately clean. Our room was as described, quiet, comfortable and warm. The breakfast was delicious, and the small touches like being greeted by our names and friendliness - it was well organised and worked very well.
