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.).

The Devonian is a stunning, extremely comfortable guest house. Piper & Terence’s attention to detail is exceptional. From the beautifully decorated rooms to complimentary bath robes, to use during your stay, it rivals any 5 star experience. Breakfast was simply fabulous.

Absolutely lovely stay. Spotlessly clean, outstanding in every way. Attention to detail superb. On site parking, easy walk to town, lovely gardens, exceedingly comfortable room. Everything you need for a short stay We stayed for a running event Lundy and didn't realise how early we had to leave but we were still provided with a lovely breakfast which was really appreciated and beyond what was expected at that time of day! Would highly recommend and will return

United KingdomThere was absolutly anything not to like about The Devonian.
This little hidden gem is just amazing. The hosts Terrence & Piper are just the best hosts, They welcome you into their beautiful home and make you feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The facilities they offer are great. An espresso machine in the room was an absolute bonus. Along with a fantastic choice of tea. Breakfast at the Devonian was just wonderful the choice is plentiful. Vegan options also available.Myself and my husband would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful place.

United KingdomNothing could have been better apart from the road closure which was obviously nothing at all to do with The Devonian.
Terence & Piper are amazing hosts. They gave us prior warning of a road closure which would make the walk into Ilfracombe longer and even offered us the chance to cancel if we wanted.They then arranged an early check in when requested which was very kind of them . Their communication beforehand and their hosting while we were there was excellent. You are made very welcome and they go out of their way to provide anything you could possibly need. Our room was beautifully decorated and beautifully clean with a very comfy bed and excellent pillows.In fact the whole place is beautiful including a large garden with lots of lovely seating areas. Cooked Breakfast was pre ordered the night before and Cereals,Fruit,Nuts,Yogurt,Pastries were all made available on the table. I wish we had been able to stay longer and would most definitely stay again ! A big Thank you to Terence and Piper for your hospitality.

The Devonian was exceptional, outstanding! a hidden gem. Perfect for a great holiday or a wedding at the tunnel’s beach. Terence and Piper were amazing hosts where nothing was too much trouble. With many hidden extras that were totally unexpected! We stayed in the Deep Adam green room which was excellent. Gorgeous views of the garden and about the bar which shut at 9:30pm so no chance of being disturbed with any noise. They had thought of everything in the room. Kettle, coffee maker, Biscuits with so much choice of tea, squash, Hot chocolate even lower cal options! They even had a trugg for you to borrow to bring your wet kit back up from the beach and many other thoughtful touches. Like a wet shoe tray in the room. All the rooms downstairs had their own quirkiness with unusual things around the property and memorabilia on loads of the walls which added to the character of the over 100 year old property. The very high ceiling added to the open feel of the place with some thing great everywhere you looked! Lots of unexpected extras like the smallest cinema in Ilfracombe a six sitter with all the extras like drinks and popcorn 🍿 provided for a nominal fee. The well equipped gym and Sauna complete with towels, robes along with toilets and showers! Everything was immaculate as if it had just been decorated and fitted. Terence and piper have spend the last 3 1/2 years perfecting the place and that’s just what it is! Perfect ! The worst thing about the property is you have to leave!! wishing you booked longer to be able to use all the facilities!!
