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 KingdomI was walking and a bit of a trek uphill from Dartmouth Town centre but there is a bus.
A very homely, welcoming place to stay. My room was upgraded, giving me plenty of space and even a private outside area. Lovely owners and a good breakfast.

United KingdomCan't fault it.
We arrived to a friendly greeting by the host who explained everything and upgraded our room as well. We got a stunning four poster room. Everything was clean and tidy and the bathroom was more than adequate. The bed was very comfy and slept well. The breakfast was very good as well with a choice of things to eat. It is on the top of a very steep hill, which didn't bother us at all, but it may bother some. It was nice and quiet and only the birds to wake us up in the morning. Overall was very impressed and delighted with our room. It is dog friendly too. I have no complaints whatsoever!

CanadaMy experience staying at Townstal Farmhouse was nothing short of exceptional. My room in the 16th century building was comfortable and the English breakfast was delightful, every aspect of my stay was top-notch. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay in the city.

Our room was very comfortable and clean, and the fresh milk in the room fridge was an excellent touch.

United KingdomNet curtains need replacing, torn in several places. Bathroom towel rail didn’t get warm. Should have checked access as stairs were quite difficult for person with reathing difficulty, luckily the owner kindly carried my luggage up and down for me.
I didn’t eat there.

United KingdomA bit of a hill to main area if walking, but only 10 minutes into Dartmouth, worth the walk for the view, best get bus back, No 90, for two pounds, well worth it, stops just short of farmhouse, brilliant.
The place itself was oldy worldy, as you would expect, but very clean, lovely pleasant people, great breakfast menu, nice food to start the day.

United KingdomThe people I stayed with - but that’s my fault for inviting them 😉
The hosts couldn’t be friendlier and accommodating. Breakfast was yummy and efficient and we were a large group of 13 people so not easy to cope all at once for brekkie but they did brilliantly.

United KingdomOur room wasn’t made up as we had asked but this was put right during the evening.
The position and age of the farmhouse was good. We asked for a quiet room and it was as quiet as it could be considering the closeness to a major road. My husband enjoyed the Full English breakfast every morning.
