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.).

We we met by Gus one of the hosts who made us feel very welcome as we had a very stressful journey down from Wales. Thank you Gus!! We were celebrating our 1st year wedding anniversary and chose to do this in a quiet relaxing manner. The location was amazing. The little lake on the property was great, you can swim or fish or paddle board or just sit by the side sipping a drink and letting all your worries float away. Gus & Claire were perfect hosts and their dogs got on so well with our staff. I think my staff is pining for sweet Pixie, they made such great friends. There is lots to do in and around the location but as I said we wanted to do very little and just relax and enjoy, which we certainly did. Thank you to Gus and Claire for opening their Little Barn to us and welcoming us with open arms. We will most definitely visit you again! We highly recommend this property.

Location was perfect for both easy access to the Tarka Trail and a 20 minute walk into Barnstaple. Decor was clean and bright with everything needed for a relaxing break. The small courtyard garden was lovely but due to the glorious summer of 2023 we were unable to fully utilise it’s charms.

United KingdomThere wasn't really anything to not like, just could have done with a plug to use in the bedroom for hairdryer and straighteners, and upstairs in the living area we really could off used a fan as so hot, due to the weather when we stayed, but downstairs the bedroom was lovely and cool. 😀
Everything was to the highest standard, the bedding was like home from home. The barn was so fresh and clean tea, coffee and sugar was provided, lovely soft towels and great shower 😀

United KingdomChoice of footpaths/bridleways as soon as you get through the gate. 15 - 20 mins into town along the river path passing the parks on the way to town. Plenty of cafes and bars in the town and two cafes and a bar by the river. One of the paths takes you by the park and school up to Tesco and an underpass to a nice pub. If you like walking you can walk your socks off along the Tarka Trail. To cap it all the hosts are fantastic. PS we had a little cockapoo with us and found the bars and cafes accommodating with no problems. Secure Parking in the properties courtyard. Fantastic week!!!!!!!

Very well located, set within a lovely property, perfect to wind down after a day out exploring. The bed is very comfortable, there's hot water and a cosy but very well equipped kitchen and lounge area. The owners are very friendly and helpful, provided really good tips and ideas for exploring, and always made sure we were well set without ever being intrusive.

Hosts were brilliant, they messaged us with directions to make sure we would find our accommodation ok. Then when we met them they were super welcoming giving us plenty of suggestions for places to visit. The grounds are a lovely setting. You can sit out in the evening and enjoy the sunset. Location is great for getting into Barnstaple and visiting the local area.
