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 KingdomJust the parking near the house is a bit tricky but its to be expected in a little fishing village and in some ways it added to the quirkiness!

United KingdomI missed the fact that linen and towels werent included when I booked but sorted these out with Annie later.. I would have prefered everything included in the rates, even if higher to cover these. the toilet and bath are on the third second floor.. wasnt a problem for us but the stairs may prove challenging for some
Very cute cottage, cosy and comfortable.. the location was great too.. seconds from all the restaurants around the harbor. Annie is a great host and accessible for any requirements.

United KingdomAnnie was extremely helpful and very quick to reply to query messages. The cottage was really comfy, cozy and clean, we felt really at home. The location is fabulous and the recommendations of places to eat were spot on. It was great to be able to have our dogs with us and all the places we ate were dog friendly including rockfish. We would love to return at some point in the future.

Fabulous cottage in the heart of Brixham with wonderful sea and harbour views. The hosts Annie and Andrew have added all the extra touches to the property to make it a home away from home.

United KingdomNothing for us.
Stayed here as a birthday treat for my partner's mother.There is nothing not to like about this charming cottage. Warm, comfortable. Lovely decor .Exposed brickwork in some rooms, adding to the character of the place. Nice, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds, lovely spacious bathroom, shower lovely good flow and temperatures, also has spa bath. Great lo cation, overlooking the harbour, close to local shops, bars and restaurants. Over the road from an excellent fish restaurant, which does the most beautiful meals. Didn't meet the Hosts Annie and Andrew, but plenty of friendly texts to greet us. Milk left in the fridge for us to have a cuppa on arrival. Also teabags, coffee provided and there ready for us to use. Toiletries provided and also games, dvds there for anyone to use. Good instructions on how to get to property and where to park. These hosts go the extra mile for their guests, my partner's mum left her watch behind and they kindly agreed to post it back to us.

United KingdomThe seagulls squawking, no one can do anything about that though! Take earplugs for night sleeping!
The Fisherman's cottage was delightful. In a perfect location with nice views upstairs. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds really comfortable. We paid extra to have the bedlinen and towels provided which was helpful. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Although the parking is a distance away, we were able to unload our luggage close by, then my son took the car to the dedicated parking space. Brixham Harbour is a beautiful place with many good restaurants, shops and bars. Would highly recommend.

United KingdomAs we are a litttle older we found the stairs hard on our knees at times, but we knew they were there and it was our choice to go with them, so not a problem
The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the harbour. Plenty of bars and restaurants with great choice. The transport links to vist Torquay or Kingsmear/Dartmouth were easy. Most of all the cottage was so comfortable, a real home from home. Loved it
