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 KingdomOur bedroom had a small window with little view. We were up on the second floor with 4 flights of stairs.
The location by the river Exe was superb, especially on a warm sunny day. The menu was better than your normal pub grub albeit slightly limited. Very clean and comfortable.

United StatesI wish there had been a little bar of soap for the bath. I asked for one, but none could be found. The wall mounted containers were NOT good for taking a bath.
I was able to walk from the train station to the hotel, to the city center, to the cathedral, along the river. I only had to take a taxi to get to the University.

United KingdomThe first room we stayed in smelt strong of paint and the bath didn't drain very well plus you could hear the road noise as there was onky half double glazing. We were moved to another room which was lovely. The Espresso coffee pods were awful.
Loved the decor and friendly staff. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there was a good selection.

United KingdomSlow breakfast with inexperienced staff. I would hope that management intervention will iron out this issue.
Recently refurbished the room had been professionally dressed with beautiful colours and pictures. It was bright and airy and comfortable. The bathroom was very good with a great shower. Friendly staff and a perfect location to relax by the river, to walk into town and to the quay.

United KingdomBreakfast was included and we chose the full English, sadly everything on our plates was overcooked - I can't imagine that this is always the case due to the reviews. Other choices were fruits, cereals, bread, cakes etc.
Good location as only a few minutes walk to the high street and as we were there for shopping it was perfect. We also chose The Mill on The Exe because it closeness to the river Exe. It was January so and we didn't expect to sit outside but on arrival we found the Exe in flood and raging waters. Very exciting to see. Our room and walk-in shower were excellent and had everything you could want including a coffee machine. We ate in their buzzing restaurant that evening (above average pub food) with excellent service. Free parking too, such a bonus as well to arrive at 1030 am and park all day whilst we shopped. Just a word here on what else Exeter offers - just off the high street you have the cathedral (definitely worth a visit) unusual old houses, a large green area and more, so it's worth a detour.

United KingdomIt needed a little bit of tlc, the paintwork needed touching up as it was a bit run down but it did not deflect from it being a lovely top quality hotel
Rooms were very spacious and clean and very quiet considering we were on the main road. Some rooms had a second door to stop any noise from the other guests. There was a big bed in the room, comfortable clean bed, coffee facilities and fans in room were top quality. The bar and restaurant were lovely, we had dinner and breakfast and the food quality was amazing. The staff were attentive and friendly.
