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 KingdomI found the bed a little hard but I appreciate that everyone has very different notions about what they consider is a comfortable bed and I understand that you can't please everyone.
Breakfast was really good and our host Mark was very friendly and welcoming. Our rooms were light and spacious.

United KingdomThere's not much to dislike. The parking is a minute's walk away - £5 for 24hours; but there's a useful layby for loading/unloading luggage.
Castle Hill is ideally situated in the centre of Lynton and was easy to find. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Mark was friendly and helpful and cooks a great breakfast to order.

United KingdomNo problem at all with the guest house but found getting a table in local restaurants difficult in the evenings so I would advise booking ahead.
All rooms were a very good size with plenty of space and views, good location for the local car park and 4-day pass with the use of other car parks was very good value.

United KingdomNothing really.
Very comfortable room with great views from the windows. Great breakfast every morning, cooked to order and a good variety of options. The guest house is in a great location, easy to find with the public car park just a few yards away although uphill after parking up. We found it best to download the parking app to pay and top-up each day from the phone. You can buy longer permits from a shop in the town though apparently. The car park does get busy in the middle of the day so if you go out you may not find a space when you get back. It does get quieter later in the afternoon though and one you have paid for the day you don't have to pay again and daily purchases are valid for all Lynton and Lynmouth car parks (but not ones run by Devon Council) Mark the host was very helpful and gave great advice about the area. A walk down to Lynmouth is a must and a ride on the railway back up is recommended! Valley of the Rocks is within walking distance - if you are lucky you may see the wild mountain goats!

United KingdomThere were issues with the strength of the TV reception but the normal channels worked well. There's not really anything not to like. Linton itself is very hilly so probably going to be difficult if you have a leg problem.
Excellent room with a balcony. Tea and coffee making in the room. Breakfast was excellent and catered well for vegetarians and vegans. The breakfast room had an honesty bar which was very useful. The guest lounge was spacious although underused. Check in was easy. The B & B was next to the lower carpark and £5/day and you can use the Ringo carpark App.

United KingdomLocation is great but in the evening there are very few places to eat. We find that we eat at lunch time and take snacks back for the evening.
Lovely guest house, friendly owner, lots of nice little touches, like fresh milk, lovely toiletries, a lounge and the cuddly goat on the bed!
