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...).

AustraliaNothing adverse at all.
The place was 10 minute walk to the beach, Lewis was very friendly, helpful and accommodating and James is a really good cook. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing.

United KingdomOverall, everything was exceptional.The only small area for improvement would be the shower water pressure, it just wasn’t strong enough for me to wash my long, thick hair. It’s something that’s helpful to know in advance, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the experience. Everything else was so amazing that this felt minor in comparison. .
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Lewis greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay. This BnB is simply stunning, the interior design is immaculate, striking the perfect balance between luxurious and homely. Our room was spacious, with high ceilings and beautiful bay window seating, the ideal spot to relax. The thoughtful touches made all the difference: a selection of teas and coffee, your preferred milk offered to you on arrival, and freshly baked vegan cookies that were absolutely delicious. Every element of our stay felt carefully curated with both comfort and sustainability in mind. From eco-friendly soaps and tissues to the inclusion of cotton balls and buds in the bathroom, it’s clear that nothing is overlooked here. They truly go above and beyond to offer an exceptional standard of service. We especially appreciated the extra conveniences like accessible plug sockets by the bed and the mirror, so useful for charging devices and getting ready without hassle. The bed itself was huge and incredibly comfortable. The honesty bar adds a relaxed, at-home feel with drinks available whenever you need, and there’s a lovely collection of books and DVDs to borrow if you fancy a cosy evening in. Breakfast was another highlight: freshly cooked to order with an impressive selection of home-baked vegan treats. If you’re looking for a luxury BnB near Ilfracombe that delivers on comfort, style, and thoughtful hospitality, this is it. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

United KingdomNo negatives whatsoever
This hotel is easily one of the best we have ever stayed in. Beautiful hotel, classy in its furnishings. Wonderful bedroom with high standards of cleanliness. Breakfast was gorgeous every morning and offered many different options. Customer service second to none. Hosts could simply not do enough for us. Welcoming, friendly and approachable. Put quite simply there were not any negatives from our six night stay. Hosts should be extremely proud of the service they provide and the effort they put in is clear to see. Top notch. Wonderful memories made.
