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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 to dislike!
We stayed as a family of 4 with 8 year old lively twins. The hosts are most welcoming and it is a home from home set up. Heather is a fabulous host and was always on hand offering her help and advice on anything needed, she always had a smile and kind words of wisdom too! Lovely home cooked breakfasts with quality ingredients and big choice, exceptionally clean throughout and the finer details have not been missed. There is a fridge in the apartment along with tea and coffee facilities, so you could chill indoors if needed. Lots of toys and toiletries provided, and garden games like swing-ball too! Convenient location, easy to get to lots of attractions and walking distance to shops and sea.

United KingdomGreat layout for a family of 4 to stay with plenty of space and really welcoming hosts. The hosts were very accommodating and catered for our son’s allergies too for breakfast. The beds were really comfortable. They have thought of lots of things to make your stay more enjoyable such as having toys to entertain the children at breakfast and in the room. The property also benefits from wonderful sea views and it was only a short walk to get to the seafront. It was a perfect base for the English Riviera Airshow weekend.

United KingdomWe liked everything! There was a bit of noise from the road but it was quiet enough and didn't go on all night. No complaints! The only reason I gave a 9.0 is because I had to use three pillows to sleep comfortably as they are feather and sink lots, which I don't like. Three worked!
Heather was so welcoming and made sure we had everything that we needed. Breakfast was absolutely lovely, organic and freshly cooked to order. The location is beautiful and the apartment itself is so pretty and fun to spend time in with great sea and garden views. It was so nice to meet the resident kitties too! Easy walks into Preston, Paignton and Torquay with buses regularly running on the road a few minutes walk down the hill. Heather has thought of everything and has catered beautifully for everyone. We had so much fun and it felt like our stay was much longer than three nights. We would happily return!

United KingdomNo complaints at all (4 years old was sad the cats didn't come to visit us upstairs like the last time we stayed)
Heather and john were absolutely lovely. They were so good with the children who were 4 and 7 and even got their favourite cereal in. The rooms, as always, are lovely. There was milk ready for a cuppa when we arrived and also fresh water in the fridge as well. Rooms were clean and aired out. I couldn't have asked for more. Also, Heather was great for recommending things to do in the area, so if you're not sure, ask away.

United KingdomThe only downside for me (with a bad back) was the soft mattress. This could easily be a positive for someone else though and they floor was always available :) It wasn't super easy to get food locally in the evening. It is best to eat in the town before returning to the B&B.
We had a fantastic stay here with a family of 4. If we re-visit the area, we will definitely stay here again! Very welcoming! Lovely space to use, cosy with everything we needed. The views are wonderful. We had full use of the spacious garden and felt part of the family rather than ever being in the way. Our kids are desperate to go back! Amazing breakfast with plenty of choice. Heather went out of her way to adapt to our kids, who (perhaps naturally, I hope naturally!) have ever changing food requirements. Thank you so much for this! It's a nice spot to go running from too, right on the South West Coast Path. It took us 30 mins to walk to the main pier in Paignton. It's a nice coastal walk and we had no issues at all (it starts off hilly though). We got a steam train to Dartmouth on one of the days. A recommended trip, where a few hours there was enough to have a quick explore and a nice coffee stop.

United KingdomOur stay was absolutely amazing. Heather and John were impeccable hosts and went above and beyond for us and our 3 children. We were able to have a small bbq in the front garden, and they even offered to do a load of washing after the kids jumped in to the sea fully clothed. 😂 You know it is a good holiday when you start discussing going back before you leave and we can not wait to book our next visit in the near future at such a quirky picturesque B&B

Our children loved it and are already asking when we can go back. We look forward to returning.
