How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

No issues with lodge itself. Car park and roads around area are not kind to lowered cars. (Just me being a yobbo)
Nice friendly staff, country side location away from the hustle and bustle, refreshments in room, clean and spacious room

Nothing. The lanes in Devon require care in negotiating.
We enjoyed a wonderful 3 day stay at Hunters Lodge Inn. The welcome is warm and genuine. Sue, Graham and Sam were kind, helpful and entertaining hosts. We mixed with the locals who clearly care greatly about their village pub. We ate there each evening - the menu was varied and the quality of the food was excellent. We occupied the “Queen” room which was comfortable and well appointed. The situation is close to Totnes and Dartmouth and convenient for exploring that part of Devon. The frequent train service from Totnes to Plymouth and Exeter is good.

Fantastic pub B&B in a beautiful village location. Very cosy and spotlessly clean room. Friendly and helpful owners who have added many thoughtful additional touches which made our stay even more special. Great breakfast - good quality ingredients and generous portions! Lovely garden at the back too - perfect for a quiet read. Really well situated - close to some great walks, Totnes, the River Dart, Greenway House, beautiful beaches and other wonderful sights.

Accessing Cornworthy village is via narrow lanes.
Personal service to a professional standard. Graham and Sue made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Very comfortable, recently refurbished and well appointed room. Fresh milk in the fridge. Quality biscuits. Guidebooks for the area. Public bar well stocked. Restaurant food and service very good. Breakfast freshly cooked to order. Attractive local walks with lovely views and the only noise is bird song. Easy access to Dartmouth.

Probably the only draw back were the long narrow lanes to get to Inn ,but WORTH it certainly.
The owners Sue and Grahame were lovely, so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Home made food was delicious. Room was large and very cosy and very clean. We appreciated the tasty biscuits left in room, best we have ever had. We loved it so much and were treated with so much warmth that we have immediately booked for a longer period in September.

If you cant reverse difficult to get to, as very narrow single track roads, both to Totnes and Dartmouth.
Lovely start to the day with a full English, quality meats. Very friendly hosts Sue and Grahame, and the locals. Comfortable bed, kettle in the room with a fridge, teas/coffee/chocolate and a full pint of milk, not those little plastic thimbles you get in most hotels - loved this. Spacious clean bathroom. Good dining, and if you are an ale lover, they keep a good cellar, on sale my husband would thoroughly recommend Taylors Landlord, Jail ale and Shipyard.

There was nothing we didn't like! The narrow and twisting lanes leading to the village are a bit hairy, but it's worth the effort.
A really warm welcome and a clean and comfortable room - but the bonus was the truly excellent food, everything home-made from scratch and beautifully presented and served. Great real ales, too.

We both enjoyed the breakfast. A good range of breakfast items on offer. Certainly a good start for the day. Both evening meals we had of high quality and home made, makes such a difference. Thank you very much.
