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...).

United StatesDriveway area was very narrow for us as we hired a small SUV for our trip, so a smaller vehicle may fit the driveway better than we did. We could drive through, it just made us a bit nervous. There is a washing machine and dryer on site, but they are not within the cottage itself. There were moths upstairs. Everything else was great.
Cider Barn was a flipped accommodation, with the bedrooms on the entry floor and the kitchen/living room on the upper floor. This was great because we dropped all the suitcases off downstairs and enjoyed the living area upstairs. The hosts, Cyril and Linda, were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was nice and spacious. We stayed in a few cottages during our trip and out of all of the places, this cottage had the most well equipped kitchen, with cooking items, storage items, dishware, and baking items. We ate pizza one night and had a glass carafe for cold water. Very nicely equipped. Upstairs also had a nice living space with good internet and television options. The couch was L shaped and although the three of us fit, it was definitely tight for lounging and cuddling. There was a really nice information booklet with instructions and trail maps and such to help us understand the area and the facilities at the location. The driveway area was tight - I think Cyril said 3.5 m across so if driving a larger vehicle, there may be tight driving space, but the parking space itself was good, with designated parking for each cottage. The location was a bit out of the way but there were instructions for delivery options if groceries or food was needed. There was a local grocery place that did close relatively early, at least for our late arrival, but it was within walking distance. Axminster is relatively close. We used the site as a base to travel to Seaton, Lyme Regis, and Yeovil, so the location was very good for us. Quiet area with beautiful view.

United KingdomWe’ve thought long & hard and if we were really picky a split garden would be nice as the neighbouring cottage had a dog with them. But it wasn’t a huge deal.
The cottage had everything we needed for a stay of a few days. A lovely touch to have some home made bakes upon arrival. The cottage was cosy but with the lovely weather we could leave the door open to wander in & out of the garden. We checked prior to arrival & used our mini gas bbq out in the garden each evening for dinner, dining Al fresco. The decor theme flowed throughout the cottage which I loved. The bed was huge and so comfy we slept like a dream. Staying for longer there are facilities in the utility for washing & to tumble dry. I hope we get to return and I can’t recommend this little find enough.

United KingdomThe only negative was that the pillows for the bed were a little uncomfortable but I am a little picky! I also found the downstairs didn’t warm up very well and found myself cold quite often, we had to have the radiator on the highest setting for two days. The host did ask us if we were ok with the cold spell so it was kind of them to check in
Loved everything about the property! Was peaceful and well kept. Very good value for money
