Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThe surroundings were perfect, with thoughtful artworks that amused and made you feel comfortable and at home. Small things like moving th Belinda to block out the sun, or the honesty bar that was well stocked. The breakfast was perfect: the fresh fruit and the thick cut bacon, the variety of breads available and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection

United KingdomThere were a couple of tiny niggles for us. We aren’t skinny, and could each have done with a bigger bath towel. For the same reason, my husband found the pivot door on the shower a bit of a pain.
Welcoming hosts, very efficiently run, very comfortable, very clean. In the room, the tea tray had decent breakfast tea, ground coffee bags as well as instant, a pre-set up coffee/tea maker, hot chocolate, fruit and herbal and Earl grey tea, fresh milk, sparkling and still water, good shortbread biscuits and a packet of mints. Great attention to pleasing the guests. across the hotel. Plus sensible helpful laminated notices in places (not fussy ones, they’re useful explanatory notes). There’s an easy system for getting in and out of the hotel. There’s a drinks bar in the salon where guests can serve them self with a g and t or wine or water, and just record what they’ve had against their room number. The rooms are warm but you can open most of the windows to regulate the temperature or let in fresh air. The bed linen and toiletries were good quality. The breakfasts were good quality and nicely cooked. Would have preferred slightly thinner rashers of bacon ourselves, but tasted great. Just about everything seemed to be very well thought out.

Where to start?! Very comfortable and well-appointed spacious room and bathroom. The Hotel was spotlessly clean and tidy with lovely decor throughout and we felt very much at home in the surroundings. The food was delicious and prepared to a very high standard, sirloin steak especially recommended! The honesty bar is an excellent idea. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. Thank you Sally and Steve for a wonderful stay.

A beautiful house in a lovely garden, our room was spotless and extremely well equipped (including TV and Wifi). Secure storage for our mountain bikes, plenty of space to park and also sit outside on the lawn after our bike rides. A wide variety of choice for breakfast including fruit, pancakes and yoghurt as well as the usual cooked choices. Evening meals were very good - tasty and beautifully cooked. The hotel is very well located for accessing the best mountain biking on Exmoor, especially the technical riding around Porlock. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThis is easy to comment on, we liked everything. The only thing we disliked was having to leave.
This was our second visit to Exmoor Country House Hotel and we found the experience as to be of the same high standards as before. We had total confidence in the safety measures taken during the pandemic to make guests feel confident and relaxed. The food at breakfast was served to perfection with an excellent range of choices, the fresh fruit, particularly the melon and strawberries were very tasty, as were the yoghurts and cereals. The choices for the optional evening meals did not disappoint (the sea bass can be highly recommended). The meticulous detail for cleanliness was second to none. An excellent location has been the reason for our stays, as we walk sections of the South West Coastal Path. When we go back again it will be for pure relaxation. Steve and Sally, the owners are very attentive, with no hint of intrusion.
