Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomIt would be nice to have a kettle instead of the coffee maker, as the water wasn’t hot enough to make a cup of tea. Also the shower water was lukewarm. Apart from that everything were perfect and wonderful. :)
The B&B located in a scenic and beautiful village in Branscombe, East Devon. Just 10mins walk to the beach. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Both dinner and breakfast were great. All the staff were so attentive and welcoming. The room was spacious and got the tasteful decorations.

United KingdomCar park was always full/congested. WiFi basically didn’t work, and there was no phone signal. The is a free WiFi but probably due to the amount of people connected it didn’t work. People staying at the hotel should have to share the same bad free WiFi the pub guest use.
Set in an amazing location, surrounded by hills, and close to the beach. Great and friendly staff.

United KingdomWe didn’t realise when we booked that there was a beer festival on (our fault, we should have checked!). This did mean that parking was at a premium. Personally I was quite lucky with the parking, however I am not sure where I would have parked if I couldn’t have parked the car!
A secret treasure of a place nestled within remote Devon countryside. Staff were lovely, breakfast selection was fabulous and the room had everything you needed. A great base to explore the coastal walks into nearby Beer and Sidmouth. The room was tastefully decorated with a mini refrigerator. There was an onsite restaurant which offered a selection of evening meals which were lovely.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like. Beautiful location. They have thought of everything.
On arrival we hadn't been allocated the room we had booked, however Donna went above and beyond and found us an amazing room. The room was so spacious, beautifully furnished, the bed was so comfortable, there was nothing to fault it. The staff were outstanding along with the food. A good choice on the menu and beautifully cooked and presented. We would definitely recommend the Masons Arms.

United KingdomThe car park is very tight and could use some better organization, or slightly larger, to accommodate all guests.
We found everything about the Masons Arms to be exceptional. The property is well maintained and is located on a quiet street in a small village, which the setting allowed us to relax and enjoy the overall experience. The room was very well appointed, with a very comfortable bed and large en-suite. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant was both very delightful.

We have visited the UK three times over 35 years and have always visited Branscombe and stayed at The Masons Arms. It is unique world wide in our opinion and hopefully we will be back one day. The whole Hotel team should be congratulated on their efficiency and friendliness. So too the Owners for maintaining the uniqueness of the facility, keep up the good work. Peggy and Lindsay Thomas
