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 KingdomOnly thing I didn't like was that I only had time to spend one night there.
Cosy traditional inn at stunning riverside location. Staff were very friendly, welcoming & helpful. Lovely comfortable & spotlessly clean bedroom with river views. Delicious home cooked food served in the bar, and a good breakfast served in the morning. Good WiFi signal throughout the property. Walks alongside the East Lyn River opposite the hotel are breathtaking.

United KingdomNothing - all good.
We arrived on a motorcycle in atrocious weather; we were wet and cold and given a lovely warm reception and immediately directed towards a roaring fire. We were made feel very welcome. All staff were very kind and friendly and the food was really good. The Landlord and Landlady were lovely hosts and attended to breakfast themselves which was excellent. Highly recommended; would definitely stay there again and excellent value for money.

United KingdomThe Bar area is dog-friendly with plenty of walkers dropping in during the day with various hounds in tow, all were very considerate and made sure their dogs were well-behaved and not intrusive. Not a negative really for us, but if you are not a 'dog person' then you might want to take it into consideration
Warm welcome. The location is beautiful with the River Lyn literally across the road. The room was spotless, towels and bed linen were fresh. Radiators in the room and bathroom or the option to open the windows whatever is your temperature preference. Tea and coffee facilities with limitless supplies. Food is hearty, varied and suits all tastes. The quality is so good and the service times are rapid. Everything arrived piping hot, on hot plates and in very good time. Breakfast is equally good with an extensive choice of cereals, juices and a great variety of cooked options. Every member of staff was friendly and efficient without being 'in your face' If you are looking for a modern, chic boutique stay then this is not for you. If you want comfort, a warm welcome, great food, a nice selection of ales (if that's your thing, I enjoyed a few very well-poured Guinness myself), clean rooms and a great location, book now.

United KingdomSlightly noisy room, I think the old walls were a bit thin, but comfy bed and well equipped with everything you need.
Great place, tucked away in a valley near Lynmouth. Unfortunately it rained almost every moment we were there (it was December in England), but there was a roaring fire and a warm welcome. Also, great food - the steak and ale pie is well worth a try.

United KingdomVery little to dislike. Perhaps the installation of a lift/Staff service to carry you to bed afterwards would have been a bonus :)
Breakfast, dinner, and location were excellent. A truly remarkable place with equally remarkable food, drink, and staff. We will be going back again soon. Need more of the Steak and Ale pie and trimmings.
