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 KingdomLoved the animals...alpacas, dogs, ducks and hens, but the donkey and cockeral woke us up early morning 🤣 but not enough to stop us returning. The view of the animals from our window was wonderful.
Location was perfect for us. We prefer not to be in the centre of things but walkable in along the coast path approx 40 mins. The owners were super friendly and went outvof their way to ensure that we were comfortable and we'll looked after. Lovely cooked breakfast and fresh fruit.

United KingdomOk its all been covered before, if you were rating as per 4 in a bed you would definitely be able to mark down for cleaning, but you've got to remember its their home and home for their 5 dogs.. I'd say its clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy. Definitely 10/10 for the Steve and Flavio,they couldn't do enough.. Breakfast was good, but if I was being fussy (and I am because a sausage is a very important part of life itself) I would prefer a better quality sausage.

United KingdomIt was a heat wave when we stayed and there was not enough ventilation. .
The breakfast was lovely (outside on the patio with wonderful views) and we shared a table with another couple, which was nice and sociable. The situation was great, not too far to walk into Bude for the evening. The house was interesting and Steve and Fabio were very friendly.

Lovely hosts, very welcoming. And lovely animals! The hosts picked up our bags when they got dropped off at a different location which was very helpful, thank you very much for sorting that for us! An excellent breakfast as well.

United KingdomSecond visit to this welcoming b&b. It feels like home from home in every aspect and the hosts are so lovely which was the main reason for our return. Clean with a great breakfast and amazing value for money. Close to Bude beach and sea pool with a lovely clifftop walk over the road too. It's in a quiet area away from the main road. We will always stay here when in the area again.
