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.).

Another delightful few days spent at Westerley Country B&B, Shelley and Pete are the most wonderful hosts! The property itself is very spacious and spotlessly clean, the beautiful gardens are the perfect place to relax. Our dog Rogo had endless fun with Elsie the Labrador and Harvey the Golden Retriever both extremely friendly! Breakfast was excellent and copious, a perfect place to spend a few days in Devon!

Beautifully located in the south Devon countryside. Pete and Shelley were such amazing hosts and were very helpful in suggesting restaurants and local attractions. Shelley’s breakfasts were outstanding - cereals, toast, muffins, hot cross buns, crumpets, yoghurts, gorgeous fruit selections - really outstanding! They couldn’t have been nicer to us all.

United KingdomThank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from Shelley and it was the perfect place to stay - in the middle of the countryside but close to beaches and lovely pretty towns. The beds, the breakfasts, the gardens, the space, the dogs….everything was just right. A very happy place to stay.

United KingdomThere’s nothing we disliked
We liked how friendly and welcoming it was from the moment we arrived. Upon arrival we were shown around and in the children’s bedroom they had changed the bedding to Christmas bed sheets and had hot chocolate, chocolate Santas and ginger bread men biscuits waiting. The rooms were lovely and spacious with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was made each morning beautifully with plenty of choice. Shelley interacted with our children playing with them and letting them feed their fish in the pond…

Everything! Shelley and Pete could not have been more accommodating. They are a delightful couple and go above and beyond. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, having the lounge makes this far more than a simple B&B and, above all, we felt genuinely welcomed and this included all of our dietary needs being catered for at the exceptional breakfast table. Thank you both for a wonderful stay :)

United KingdomJust one tip maybe put a sliding door at top of the stairs instead of the blind division as would be more soundproof.
Lovely location, super friendly hosts, gorgeous dogs Harvey and Elsie , Shelley and Pete are great hosts the place was immaculate with quality bedding and really spacious rooms, bathroom is huge with underfloor heating, breakfast was fab with lots to choose from fruits , pastries, cereal etc too much for us but shared with the dogs who were happy to help 😁 microwave in the lounge was huge bonus especially for my daughter, the garden is immaculate and enjoyed watching the birds eating from the hanging feeder, pete was a good laugh at breakfast and Harvey the dog would bring us all his cuddly toys , shame it was raining would of been fabulous in the sunshine as it is so pretty outside.

Perfect hosts, perfect location - what was not to like! We were lucky enough to spend six glorious days at the Westerly Country B&B. Shelley, Pete, their son Ben, not to mention the magnificent and beautifully behaved dogs Harvey and Elsie, welcomed us with open arms to this lovely home from home. Breakfast was a limitless choice of coffee, tea, fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurt to name but a few from the daily cornucopia on offer. The accommodation is spotless, very well equipped and the private lounge is a real luxury. Such generous hosts who clearly delight in the comfort of their visitors. The garden is so tranquil with stunning views across the South Hams and the moors, beaches, unique towns and villages of Dartmoor on the doorstep. You can do as much or as little as you please but you will definitely relax - no question about it.

The owners, Shelley and Pete, were so friendly and made us really welcome. The accommodation was modern, extremely comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It was a bonus to have use of the lounge and the beautiful garden. And the two wonderful dogs, Harvey and Elsie, were great fun to play with! (although Shelley and Pete were careful to be sure you were happy with dogs before letting them into the garden). Huge continental breakfast with fresh fruit, yoghurt, croissants and more! A lovely stay, would recommend highly

United KingdomAlthough it wasn’t an issue for us, one bathroom between 6 could be a problem for some.
We were a multigenerational family group with two dogs. It was perfectly accessible for all of us and spotlessly clean. It was a total joy waking up to beautiful countryside views. We loved the company of the hosts including the four legged ones, they’d genuinely thought of everything! The continental breakfast was very generous with something to suit all tastes.
