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 KingdomThe only issue was the towel rail in the Bathroom was so hot and could of done with a thermostat, apart from that the stay was beautiful.
The Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was lovely, the room was very clean and the bed was super comfy. They left a air conditioning unit as was so hot and was much appreciated, there was milk in a fridge that you can help yourself to. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and I am looking forward to going back if I am in the area,

MexicoWe were not told that they stopped serving food at 5pm on Sundays. We were turned away when we arrived for dinner at 5.30 and had to drive to another pub to find food.
Lovely location right on the edge of Dartmoor with easy access to good walks. Spacious, comfortable room. Ample parking. Excellent food in the restaurant.

United KingdomOur room was above the bar area, noise levels from the area increased from 23.45 till 00.30 with loud laughter and a screeching woman. The noise then came up the stairs to the floor above us where a couple in had noisy sex. Soundproofing between floors is not good. The floor above was marked Private so assume it was staff.

United KingdomThe shower was very powerful (which was fantastic). However when we turned it on, it would literally explode water out all over the place, from the water pressure and the shower head cradle (this may need looking at). It would shoot water out towards you and out of the enclosure when first switched on. But it was a minor inconvenience... and to be honest highly comical watching my husband get attacked by it! 😄 But it was more than usable and the pressure was amazing.😍
We have stayed here a few times before. This is a fabulous place to stay. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. The food is very good. This is also a locals pub, servicing a small village, right by one of the best parts of Dartmoor. But this doesn't mean it gets too noisy, and it is certainly not unfriendly. They are very dog friendly too. But the rooms do not smell doggy, unlike some places. If you are visiting the Yelverton area, this is the hotel I would recommend.

United KingdomThe cleanliness of the bath room on the whole was good but there was mould and mildew up the window and keeping the blind pulled down over it is not the answer, the shower wall has dirt and soap scum ground in in-between the tile which as a house wife i know could be cleaned off with a scrubing brush and some elbow grease. On moving the shower screen there was grime where it had been sitting, quite a let down to a lovely place.
Friendly polite staff, lovely food..
