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 KingdomNothing to declare!
Lovely property inside and outside. Good location, though I haven’t given a 10 because of the steep hill leading to the property. Wasn’t a problem for me, but an elderly relative was with me and couldn’t manage the hill walk. The rooms were lovely, comfortable beds. Superb breakfasts. The proprietors Pauline and Anthony were welcoming, friendly, and really lovely people. Car parking no problem. A nice quiet location.

Quite a beautiful B&B with fine decoration and excellent amenities. You are quickly made to feel at home thanks to the warm welcome of the owners and the delicious breakfast cooked by Pauline every morning. A great many thanks to Pauline and Anthony. Not only do I highly recommend the Court Prior but I look forward to going back!

Fantastic hosts, very welcoming and friendly. We loved the hotel and room which was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with a great choice. We only stayed for 2 nights but felt that we had made two new friends with the owners as they were such lovely people.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
Court Prior is absolutely fabulous, and the thing that makes is so good is the owners, Pauline and Anthony, who have created and maintained the most beautiful B & B you can imagine. As soon as we pulled up in the drive both Pauline and Anthony came out to greet us and nothing was too much trouble during our stay. The house has been beautifully restored to it's Victorian spendour and was immaculately clean throughout. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated and a really good size ........ And when it comes to the breakfast ..... well, what can I say ....fantastic! You will be able to find cheaper B & Bs in Torquay, but I very much doubt if you will find a better one, OR such good value for money. Pauline & Anthony's hosting is incredible, and although I know that it is far from it ......... they make it look effortless! If you are looking to stay in Torquay, I would recommend that you look no further than Court Prior!

United StatesThe only niggle was the location at the top of a steep hill, it was a bit of a chore for our old bones to get up there after going down into the town.
Lovely Victorian property, tastefully updated. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. Hosts Pauline and Anthony were gracious, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional, fresh food, beautifully prepared, tasty, and plenty of it. Would stay here again if we return to Torquay.

The court prior is lovely. So clean and the hosts are so welcoming. Breakfast was perfect and Pauline made Greek yogurt compots with fresh bramley apples from her friends apple trees in the Cotswold they were delicious 😋. Would definitely stay here again.
