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.).

United KingdomNothing at all , only the time went too quickly.
A fabulous property run by Terence and Piper who after meeting treat you as friends, providing so many extras a gym, a sauna, cinema,bar, hot tub. They give advice on attractions, and things ilfracombe have to offer. The breakfast was fabulous, so many choices, having been lucky enough to stay in alot of 5 star hotels, the breakfast at the Devonian is alot better. The rooms are luxurious having thought and provided all the extras needed and so tastefully done in keeping with their old house character. We really enjoyed our two night stay and were so lucky to have nice weather, that made it even better. The Devonian is quiet, near to the harbour about 10 min walk and all the amenities, we feel so lucky to have chosen this bed and breakfast accomodation.

We have just returned from a Stay at the Devonian and can Highley recommend it . The host’s Piper and Terence have created a guest house that is welcoming, comfortable and furnished in a very memorable way. They have shared their interests in an eclectic mix of items which are displayed around the public rooms, and these create an ambiance which is both comforting and fun. Due to time constraints we were not able to make full use of all the facilities on offer but we will make sure that on our next visit.

The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of choice. Best of all were the hosts - Terence and Piper; they went above and beyond to make our stay as welcoming, comfortable and accommodating as possible. Amazing value for what we paid - one of my favourite holiday places ever.

Australia- Our bathroom and shower were a little on the small side. Not uncommon when a modern bathroom has been retro-fitted into an older building.
- Terence & Piper were welcoming hosts. Relaxed and friendly they were a wealth of information on Ilfracombe and surrounding areas. - Our room was a good size with lovely decor and quality furniture. We had a nice outlook over the gardens and across the town. - Substantial English breakfast cooked by Piper. Other options available if you aren’t into a big breakfast. - We didn’t use the bar area or gym but they both looked great. The gym was well equiped. - Easy walking distance into town, beaches and marina. - Quiet area. - Off-street parking.
