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 KingdomNothing.
The room was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The view of Torbay was stunning especially from the balcony in the daytime but also after nightfall. Clearly, a lot of thought had gone into the refurbishment of the property. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order by Mike and came with home made sourdough and proper coffee.

United KingdomThe fact the bathroom was a separate room so we had to walk outside our room onto the landing to go in and out of the bathroom. I didnt realise private bathroom meant separate lol but for the price I'm not complaining it was still lovely. Just to mention, that's only 1 room that has this. The others are en suite but I wouldn't let it put anyone off
Lovely and clean. Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning Bedding smelled Lovely and clean My husband loved playing with the shower features! We had home made bread, spacious bathroom

Yew Tree House offered the perfect getaway for us as a couple. Lovely room with good facilities and a sea view. The breakfast was cooked fresh to order, with lots of options. Thanks for the personal touches that made our stay unique. We were in a great spot to travel around Devon and visited Dawlish, Brixham, Paington and Bee Sands over our 3 night stay.

The couple who own and run this lovely hotel were really friendly and helpful (he is also a great cook; it was a very tasty breakfast). We arrived later than expected but felt welcomed. There was a whirlpool bath which was wonderful after our tiring journey. All in all, we loved it here and hope to return again x

United KingdomThe door bell ringing everyone it sensed motion, found this a little intrusive and unnecessary as the alert could have been heard just on the phone.
The ease of check and the thoughtful touches. I won’t say what they were as don’t want to spoil it for other visits just know that these hosts have little touches that make you feel valued. They also respect privacy which was really appreciated.

United KingdomHave stayed at Yew Tree House a number of times but before yesterday, not since 2020. Stay was as great as I'd expect from experience, Mike and his family are great hosts who really care about making sure your stay is comfortable and that you feel welcomed. Breakfast is top class, private bathroom for room 2 is excellent, and room is cozy and more than comfortable enough. Will happily return every time I stay in the area!
