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 KingdomParking was expensive in the hotel car park, there is free parking a short walk from the hotel and a multi storey nearby but the whole of Paignton sea front area is full of double yellows and 1 hour street parking. Not the hotels fault and typical of busy seaside towns
Good location, friendly staff, breakfast was relaxed and well run

United KingdomOur room was close to the elevator so we could hear all noises and people chatting passing by. Maybe try to isolate it better.
Perfect location for a lovely holiday in Paignton. Just opposite the beach and pier with a beautiful sea view. Staff very warm and welcoming and the barman was always ready for any request. Room was clean and we had a very rich breakfast. We visited on the Airshow weekend, so it was really busy but with a great atmosphere.

United KingdomThe manager was brilliant on the night helping me with an off street car parking space for my car that is £100,000 + and a worry to leave on street parking anywhere
Breakfast was self service and a bit challenging finding my way around the serving area but assisted by staff who knew where everything was but it was not hot for very long

United KingdomThe parking isn’t the greatest at all. £15 a day but it’s not guaranteed you will find a space. It is very small and is based on a first come first come basis.
Loved the seafront room. Really made our occasion more enjoyable and has a beautiful view. We could see the hotel from our boat trip with Torquay Watersports. Our room service was great with regular cleaning and new towels for us to use. The breakfast service was great, the kind gentleman who was at the bar on Thursday was very polite and made us feel welcome. The staff at reception were also helpful. One of the gentlemen (had glasses on) helped us with locations and what to do during our stay knowing it was our first time in Devon. We do hope to return when visiting Paignton again.

United KingdomBREAKFAST was very muddled. The restaurant did not flow, staff not in uniforn as such just t-shirts and trousers or jeans. Difficult to define them from the general public. I witnessed some areas of hygiene ???? With a little bit of knowledge, they could be avoided, I'm sure. We were also not told about the £15 anight car parking charge at the hotel until arrival.
A lovely see view room, quiet too. Friendly reception staff

United KingdomWe went for dinner after a busy day, I was told to watch the table in the corner and once they had their desserts , I could go back to counter and order food. Simply preposterous. Another couple came down after us, similar experience , but offered a free drink. After a busy day, we had to find a fast food joint for pizza and chicken wings in room. Ruined our stay.

United KingdomBeing picky.... the pillows were too soft, lack of a mirror that the hairdryer could be used with, maybe whete the chair is?
Close to the sea front and amenities. The room was a good size with a comfy bed, tea making facilities (no biscuits), iron and iron board, and hairdryer. Lacked a bit of colour, the photos had colourful cushions, but maybe they're in the premium rooms 🤔 staff were smiley and helpful.

Breakfast good, room decent but another chair would be appreciated. TV a good size.
