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 KingdomBreakfast excellent, with eggs from hens kept in the back garden. A good choice, particularly for anyone not wanting full English breakfast. The location is good for a quiet beach, away from the noisy town centre. The preserved steam train line passes close by, and adds to the attraction of the place. A very reasonable charge for a pleasant stay. A very quiet area; the wifi worked perfectly.

United KingdomNothing really springs to mind.
It was located very close to the beach and a small boating lake, and also a water adventure park. It was quiet, and the room overlooked woods and also had a sea view. The room was spacious and well furnished. The shower was very efficient. The breakfasts were a particular feature; beautifully prepared to order. The couple running the property were charming, friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomCan’t think of anything to fault with the stay
I stayed with my daughter over the BH weekend as she was attending a dance competition. Sarah and Paul run it exceptionally well. The breakfast is superb and we even had an option to do takeout too which was good . You are able to specify exactly what breakfast you want and time slot of either 8 or 9 am, and the eggs are fresh every day from their own chicken coop. The room was immaculate . All the rooms have recently been refurbished and beautifully decorated, very airy and plenty of space. Fresh towels everyday if needed. Location was perfect for where we needed. Literally 8 minutes walk to our venue. It is located next to a park that leads down to the beach and also 5 min walk to the quaywest splashdown park. Had very enjoyable stay and will definitely return next year 😃

United KingdomThe room felt a little cold on your feet with the tiled floor so would advise on taking slippers if your in a dog friendly room but makes sense because your not worried about the dogs getting a carpet dirty.
The dog friendly rooms were ideal for us and the location is excellent. The hosts made sure we were looked after and even left us an Easter egg in the room.

Sarah and Paul are exceptional hosts, very friendly, helpful and attentive. Staying at Rowcroft Lodge is like a home from home. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Sarah's breakfasts are delicious and she catered for my gluten-free dietary needs. We are delighted with our stay with and highly recommend Rowcroft Lodge.

United KingdomThis isn't something that we didn't like, but there isn't anywhere else to write this, unfortunately... There is free parking on-site for 3 cars, and with the on-road parking too, it can sometimes be a little tight (but not impossible) when trying to reverse out. But that's me being picky and ultimately the road is full of beautiful Victorian terraced houses & naturally we're built to accommodate having dozens of cars parked outside.
Location is ideal in terms of proximity to the beach & getting around Devon in general. Sarah and Paul were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was light, airy, clean and had a lovely view of the park and sea. Breakfast was to die for - locally sourced produce for the Full English (including duck & hen eggs laid on site, it doesn't get more local than that!) - quite possibly the best I've ever tasted, with an emphasis on quality - with a good choice of other options (my daughter loved the waffles!) Quite simply, we'll be returning whenever in Devon in the future.
