Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing it was lovely
Lovely ambiance and tastefully decorated in keeping with the style of the original house. Very comfortable bedroom and stocked with everything you need. Excellent breakfast. Neil and Rosemarie were excellent hosts. Nice cosy bar. I would imagine in the summer the grounds are lovely to sit in. Also convenient location for both Lyme Regis and Seaton for eateries

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
Great hotel, we stayed in the ground floor suite with our two miniature dachshunds which was perfect for us with doors opening directly onto the garden, lovely to have so much space, the bathroom was one of the nicest bathrooms we have had in a hotel. We took breakfast in the bar with our dogs and it was delicious, dogs received a sausage. Lovely grounds to walk in. Hotel only 8 minutes drive from Lyme Regis. Will definitely be back and highly recommended.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like. Hosts, views, location, grounds, parking, room, especially the huge walk-in shower, facilities, and breakfast were perfect! Nice touch giving Roscoe (my beloved dog) a sausage or two at breakfast! Breakfast choice is amazing! Even a fenced-in area to let tour pooch off leash!

United KingdomWe have just returned home after spending a few days in Dorset. We stayed at the Dower House and really enjoyed our stay with Neil and Rosemarie. Their hotel has a warm and friendly feel and they were very welcoming. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated (though the bed was a bit too soft for us - we spoke to Rosemarie the following day and she very kindly sorted out the mattress for us and we slept very well the following nights) and the on-suite very well positioned and very clean. Breakfast was very delicious too, we had a full English breakfast each day. We would definitely return and would also recommend this accommodation to others
