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 KingdomNothing The accommodation is 1st class
Every establishment needs to look here as they set the example of how a B&B should be. From the moment you step through the door you are greeted warmly and made to feel very comfortable. My son has learning needs and he feels 'at home' here and that means everything to me.

United KingdomTowels could have been a little more softer but that’s not a big thing and also if they could have hair dyers in the bathroom that would be great. But these are only minor things overall I give 10/10 to Wildercombe house.
We have had a lovely time at Wildercombe house, we are a family of four, spent 3 nights there in two rooms. All the facilities were impressive overall the property was very clean, rooms were big and comfortable, breakfast was great and they have lovely staff.

United KingdomIt would be great if the hotel had a bar and restaurant, but, in fairness, it is not far to travel to local eateries of which the hotel has a recommended list. Would like bigger bath towels!
The whole hotel is spacious including bedrooms and bathrooms. The views are glorious. Breakfast was excellent - plenty of it and well cooked. Lots of room to park. Friendly staff who took time to give us personal attention.

United KingdomThe bed was a little too hard for my liking.
Room 6 was very spacious and well appointed and included a sofa, dining table, kettle, fridge, iron and large TV. A carton of milk was provided in the fridge plus tea and coffee selections. Extras were available on the landing outside. Lovely view over Ilfracombe. The location is about a mile out of the centre of Ilfracombe, a downhill walk. There's a bus stop for the 21 bus nearby which we used to get back. Staff were very polite and friendly. Breakfast is served between 8:30 and 9:30. You are asked to specify a time you want breakfast and your cooked breakfast items the night before. This system works very well. Recommend visiting nearby Bicclescombe Park on the walk down to Ilfracombe.

United KingdomWe were away early in the morning so missed the breakfast.We were in room 5 and the bathroom was a treat. The only negative point i can think of was a lamp was out on the ceiling and the lamps were of different brightness.
The location was great, the welcome was warm as was the temp. inside as it was very chilly. Our room was large and very clean we loved it.The view across town and out to sea was great. The hotel was well kept, the breakfast room looked across towards the sea.Parking was ample and easy to turn into. We enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future. Many Thanks.Sean and Tracie.

United StatesThe only thing I can think of but I did not like was that it was difficult to get out of the driveway onto the road.
This place was super clean and the bed was very comfortable, The TV was big, the kitchenette was nice, The bathroom had a shower and a tub with a shower and whirlpool fantastic! Breakfast was the best I've had any bed and breakfast or hotel. I highly recommend this establishment.

United KingdomReally picky I know and such an easy fix, but as a business looking at sustainability...using separate plastic portions of sauces at breakfast and having to use a teabag for every small cup....teapots and refillable sauce pots would be great. Also....the pillows were pretty hard. We ended up using the sofa cushions!
A beautiful building with exceptional rooms and lovely smiley staff.x
