Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

What a wonderful short break we had at Norbury House. Superb hosts, Paula and Adam would go above and beyond to welcome everyone. Room was fully equipped with everything you expect a quality hotel to have. Spotlessly clean throughout. Breakfast was cooked to perfection, very tasty and freshly cooked. Well done Paula!!!! Adam also played a major part supplying us with endless drinks and toast. We arrived as guests, and left as friends. We even had the pleasure of meeting Brisket, and wonderful happy black labrador, who reminded us of our lab we left at home. Will return soon.

My fiancé and I booked a last minute stay to Norbury House in Ilfracombe. On arrival we were greeted with a friendly welcome and had our room unexpectedly upgraded. The room was very clean and tidy, the bed was comfier than our own, and breakfast was beautiful which set us up for the whole day ahead. We cannot wait to return in the future, thank you! :)

United KingdomThe bathroom maybe needs a little updating, things like seals on showers and better quality towels. Breakfast we was not aware we could of had fruit only on seeing someone else had it, maybe our fault for not asking.
Great characterful property, lovely quiet location, cute sea views, Adam and Paula were amazing hosts from before we got there to when we left, meeting Brisket the dog was a bonus when we left. Well cooked breakfast and nice touch with the border biscuits that were replenished in our room each day.

United KingdomI feel bad having a tiny niggle. Lovely big bed and the quilt cover was a good size. However, the quilt inside was the same width as the bed so didn't overhang but as the bed was so big, this just meant we slept closer together. Personal taste, the pillows were a bit hard for us but probably fine for others.
The breakfast was 5*, best we've had in this type of accommodation. Decent sized bath towels were also a massive tick. Hosts were lovely. Really pleasant stay. Room was tastefully decorated... a dressing table with surface for putting brushes and make up on would have been nice but I appreciate there probably wasn't room for that.
