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...).

Beautifully, creatively styled and decorated rooms. Our bed was the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in and everything felt luxurious. The location is lovely, tranquil and quiet. We were able to properly relax and unwind. Breakfast was scrumptious too, with a good selection to choose from. The two nearby pubs are great too. Thank you Jodie, for being such a lovely host, we can’t wait to stay again.

Lydford house is so much better than a chain hotel. The hotel is family owned, and we were dealt with throughout by the owner. The service could not be faulted, and I have no hesitation in recommendiing this establishment to other couples. A small hotel of very high quality!

United KingdomAll good.
Our hostess, Jodie, was spectacularly helpful - starting a fire in the lounge for us, taking our shopping and putting it in the fridge and texting us to let us know, wonderful breakfasts. Thanks Jodie. The house is lovely and interesting. The location is perfect for walking as there are a number of options directly from the property. For instance, we walked to Okehampton on the old railway track and caught the bus back. Also some great places to eat as directed by Jodie. Plenty of parking.

United KingdomThe house is set in a stunning location and is beautiful. The owner, Jodie was very warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The room was clean and very comfortable with a lovely shower and bath. The room was well stocked with tea, coffee and water. Fresh milk was also available every day. The breakfast was delicious every day and the honey made on the farm was to die for! I was delighted I could buy some to bring home. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and cannot wait to return later in the year.
