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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomOnly down side is the parking there isn’t any. Parked about 5/10 minute walk away. But it didn’t bother us as we didn’t use the car much, also the bed in main room so needs a new mattress. Not the most comfy .
Lovely house . View & it had character. Also everything you needed . Fully equipped. Short walk to town. Lovely place to be . Very chilled beautiful town .

United KingdomNo parking and the road only fits 1 car down so had to unload the car quickly, I think in the summer it would be a problem, but as we were there in November it wasn't as busy, and we found parking on a street 5 minutes away but come summer these streets will be packed.
Loved the location and the views, first time in brixham and loved it, the cottage was lovely very well decorated and very comfortable, would definitely stay here again if in the area 👍🏻

United KingdomThe car park is a walk. OK if you're fit and healthy but would be a struggle if you're not.
Dolphin Cottage is simply lovely. Its situation, overlooking the harbour is beautiful. We were very lucky to have gorgeous weather so enjoyed a morning coffeeWe had everything we needed to have a relaxing stay. The app is very useful and answers every question you might have.

United KingdomThe parking situation was a little unclear as the closest car park Brixham Central is only a short stay. But we found Oxen Cove which is a long stay car park. Thoroughly recommend the 4-day parking permit.
The location of the cottage is fantastic for exploring. The cottage is small but cosy and it was perfect for the 2 of us. The facilities were perfect for what we required and even managed to cook a roast dinner.

United KingdomNot anything major apart from the smart tv signal was unpredictable but we had the use of netflix and bbc iplayer etc. We were a little unclear about what we had to do regarding the recycling from the instructions so we took it home.
A beautiful cottage tastefully decorated in a great location. Ideal for a group of four friends visiting for a weekend.

United KingdomThe only one criticism I have is there is no outside parking for the property so you have to park in a pay and display car park that is not that far away but it’s an uphill walk coming back but this is a very minor criticism
I absolutely loved Dolphin cottage it was really quaint but also really modern with stunning views over the marina and harbour. The cottage has everything you need for you stay and more and I can’t wait to come back to Brixham and reacquaint myself with this stunning little home form home.
