Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThere was nothing to not like. The town is at the bottom of the hill so you will be half dead after a couple of days but you do get used to it eventually but that's just how Ilfracombe is....hilly lol.
We arrived very early but as our room was ready we were allowed to settle in so we could spend extra time exploring Ilfracombe.Everything about this lovely place was great from the free cake every day to the breakfast hampers (The breakfasts were gorgeous both days )and the table tennis and pool tables and the honesty bar.

United KingdomI would suggest parking on the road which was very easy if a nervous driver. I’m sure after your 1st attempt to use the car park it wouldn’t bother too much.
Everything expected and more was available. Spacious & clean room with comfortable bed. Great choice of breakfast delivered to the room. Cathy was about & very helpful. Also makes great cake for afternoon tea. Lyndon, Lynmouth, Woolacombe etc close enough for easy drive or bus. 😁😁

My partner & I stayed in a lovely garden suite that exceeded our expectations. The comfort of the space was remarkable, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything we needed for our stay was thoughtfully provided, from kitchen essentials to cozy linens. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the host, Cath. She was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Her helpfulness and warm demeanor made a significant difference, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend this garden suite for anyone looking for a comfortable and accommodating place to stay. The combination of a well-equipped space and a wonderful host makes it a standout choice!

United KingdomThe parking for larger vehicles may be a bit of a challenge for some. The owner was really accommodating and gave me a parking spot just inside the property at the top of the driveway.
Breakfast served in the room was a very nice treat for people who wanted eat in a quiet room with their own family.

United KingdomSuppose after finding the booking on Booking.com for £80 and then choosing a King sized bed the price increased to £107.00, however Cath did say we could arrive from 12 which we didn’t manage to do as we were wandering around ilfracombe. The walk into town is down hill, about 15 mins, the walk back obviously isn’t as easy
Beautiful place, tastefully decorated, the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable and the gardens were stunning. The owner Cath, a lovely lady, came out to meet us and gave us some pointers on restaurants. We took her advice and booked Giovanni & Lucia a lovely Italian in town. The breakfast, served in your room, was substantial and perfectly cooked, would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNothing, everything was great!
A very memorable stay with Cath. From our arrival we were welcomed to a beautiful and well-maintained Epchris house. The room was spacious and comfy. A bar and lounge area even with an Xbox and table tennis and pool, plus who could say no to delicious cake baked daily? (and thank you for kindly letting us peek at the recipe!) Cath was always on hand to provide helpful tips and dinner recommendations and made us feel right at home, even supplying all the room dairy alternatives etc. Breakfasts served in room were delicious and such a treat, and in general Ilfracombe was the perfect base for our day trips west to Clovelly, Croyde and others, and east across Exmoor to Dunster, Lynton and Lynmouth. We enjoyed dinner and strolling through Ilfracombe itself and would definitely return next time we’re in the area. Thank you Cath and team!
