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 KingdomWe only stayed for one night.😒
It was a real gem! The host's were very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. The room was exceptionally clean! ( no need for a towel on my pillow here 😆) It wasn't very far from the town and so peaceful.

United KingdomNothing much to dislike - property had ample parking but a couple of spots were tight. However, it’s a quite area with ample free on street parking.
The property is extremely clean and well decorated - could not find a speck of dust in our room. facilities were amazing for a B&B which included a bar, gym, sauna, hot tub and a garden to relax in. Property is also well located and only a 5 minute walk to the Tunnels Beaches and 15 minutes from the harbour. But the biggest plus for this property is the hosts Terence and Piper who were extremely helpful and friendly. You won’t be disappointed with the breakfast either - plenty of choices.

Wonderful stay at Piper and Terence's amazing guest house. We both left agreeing it was the best guest house we have ever stayed in! Service was fantastic, rooms top notch, excellent to have a range of vegan breakfast options too! Piper and Terence's personnel touch really makes the guest house what it is, you can tell they enjoy what they do and take the time to get to know their guests. Amazing hosts and thank you both for a lovely stay. Maria and Dan

One of the cleanest place we’ve stayed, very quiet apart from the birds singing, it was lovely getting back to nature. The gardens/woodlands belonging to the property are so beautiful even has a brook at the end of it. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a games table, TV with DVD player and DVD’s and two large very comfy sofa’s. The bar was a nice place to finish the day with a drink over looking the woodland. Both Piper and Terrence made us feel very welcome and made time for us even though they were so busy. Terrence has a wicked sense of humour which we both loved. Piper is an excellent cook, her Full English breakfast is so delicious as is her fresh fruit waffles and avocados with hummus and tomotoes on thick toast. All for less than you would pay at the local Premier Inn! P.S Terrence, that means you can’t put your prices up 🤣

We liked Everything! We stayed in seven different accommodations during our road trip and this was by far the best. Piper and Terence are amazing hosts. They are friendly and funny and incredibly welcoming. The house is wonderful, it is designed and decorated with a lot of style. It has a personal touch and a very warm atmosphere. Breakfast was amazing, the table was set with so much love and food was delicious with many options to choose from. The garden behind the house is a piece of heaven. We would have loved to stay a couple of days just for sitting in the different cosy corners they have created.

United KingdomThe B&B meantioned strictly no alcohol in the rooms. Not that I would want to drink much but when away and relaxing of an evening watching TV in the room, I would like a glass of wine to sip away at.
The location was great, easy to walk to the centre of ilfracombe. The B&B itself was tastefully decorated and loved all the little extra touches in the room such coffee machine, eye mask next to the bed, body scrub, all small but make the difference. Great cooked breakfast with added extras as well, croissant, cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt.

United KingdomOnly being there for one night - we would like to stay longer next time.
We chose to stay here at the start of the Devon Coast to Coast cycle ride because of the high booking.com score which is thoroughly deserved. Piper and Terence were extremely helpful and friendly and provided secure overnight storage for our bikes and filled our water bottles without us even needing to ask. The room we stayed in was spacious and beautifully furnished and it was lovely to sit on the terrace with a beer overlooking the wonderful garden. We really appreciated all the thoughtful touches such as the drying service for wet swimwear. The breakfast was superb with a great choice of hot dishes. This will definitely be our first choice of places to stay in Ilfracombe from now on.

AustraliaWe were in the small, twin room, but it was bigger than we expected and very comfortable (although the shower cubicle could have been slightly larger). Terence and Piper were excellent hosts and gave us very helpful suggestions for our trip. Breakfast was delicious. Parking was reasonably easy to manage.

A perfect end location for our cycle tour. The accommodation was immaculate, styleful and welcoming. Terrence and Piper were fantastic hosts, warm and friendly. They were knowledgeable of the area, what they didn’t know they googled for us. The marvelous cooked and presented breakfast was first class, served in a beautiful room. A place we will tell and recommend to friends, and return to if we are again in the area.

United KingdomPiper & Terence truly go above and beyond. We stayed here after our wedding last year for a minimoon and it was so wonderful we rebooked it again whilst having breakfast on the last day. It's a perfect retreat for couples looking for somewhere quiet and luxurious, and an easy stumble home after a wedding at the Tunnels. We can't fault a thing and will most likely be making this a yearly stay!
