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 KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and at home. The property has been very lovingly and stylishly decorated, with a very personal touch. The place Piper and Terence created is very special. We have traveled extensively in the UK and stayed in many guest houses, but this has far surpassed anywhere else. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Any condiment you could wish for was provided. The bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. We also got some great tips on where to go for some breathtaking scenery and recommendations for a top Thai restaurant. We were sad to leave and can’t wait for our next stay, when we’re hoping to try out the hot tub and sauna.

United KingdomBeautiful property, the hosts were absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The breakfast room is quaint and set up to the standard you would see at a posh restaurant with gorgeous china. The breakfast menu is super and includes something for everyone. The bedroom we stayed in was lovely too with lots of attention to detail. Highly recommend The Devonian and we will most definitely be staying again.

United KingdomIt was perfect!
We enjoyed every aspect of our stay in Piper and Terence’s wonderful B&B. They have put so much thought into everything to make sure that our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculately kept inside and out! The gardens are stunning and we felt like we were up in the trees in our room which overlooked the garden. The breakfast was one of the best I have had (try the smashed avocado and hummus on doorstep toast!). Terence and Piper are the perfect hosts and are more than happy to tell you about the local area. We will most definitely be back!

United KingdomThe Devonian is a lovely warm and welcoming place and that is down to the host's who can not do enough for you. The accommodation was great, large clean and comfortable, in easy reach of town/sea front. Breakfast was great and cooked to order. Will have no problem recommending this accommodation we loved our stay.

United KingdomTerence and Piper really do go the extra mile to make sure their guests are comfortable and looked-after. Bedrooms are exceptionally well-appointed with everything you could wish for. I hear there is also a hot tub and sauna although we weren't here long enough to try these. Due to compromised health I need to be extra careful, and Terence and Piper kindly provided breakfast early for us before the rest of the guests arrived so we could eat alone. Will look forward to staying again next time we are in the vicinity. Many, many thanks for your kindness and attention.
