How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There was nothing we did not like.
The bungalow made you feel you where at home as you had everything there you would at home. The lady kindly left us scones, cream,jam and a pint of milk and what a lovely welcome. The double bed was so comfortable and the best mattress I've ever had while away on holiday. We loved sitting on the decking outside and you can see the sea . We did need a little help with the tele as we our not great with things like that but as they live local which is great they came round and showed us. They do leave booklets with details how to use items but we always struggle so it was great of them to come round and help us. I will definitely be staying here again.

I wish our stay was longer. One thing that wasn’t great is that parking close to the property is limited, which could be an issue if you have limited mobility. We arrived late on Friday evening and there was no parking available next to the place so we had to leave our car on an adjacent street.
The place is a lovely little place to stay in Brixham. The place is clean, well decorated and furnished with delightful features. The surrounding area is pleasant and 10 minute’s walk from the main harbour and town area. The hosts were exceptional. We particularly appreciated the cream tea that was left for us, as well as tea, coffee and a bottle of milk. They could not have done more to make us feel welcome and appreciated.

We did not get on with the seating in main room. The sofa was too small and the recliners awkward to use you could not stop them reclining and that is not good when you are leaning back with a coffee in your hand. I am sure it is easily fixable but that was our only gripe.
Property was very clean and in a great location. At night it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Everything needed we had and the scones and cream were very welcome.

The walk up hill to get back haha. We got a taxi back so it was fine.
We were close enough to the harbour to walk and far enough away for it to be quiet. The property it's self was great. Very modern and clean.
