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 KingdomUnfortunately the room could have been cleaner. It wasn't dreadful but there were stains on the walls which was slightly concerning. It was also a real pain hearing the sounds of the restaurant dragging tables early in the morning and in the evening. We were right under the restaurant and it was so loud so that was not relaxing. Also I'm afraid the decor could do with an upgrade as it reminded me of my nans care home. Everything was a bit on the dated side..
Absolutely lovely staff. We felt so welcome and looked after! Nice breakfast. Amazing location. Very accessible and near everything.

United KingdomThe lift was broken for most of the duration of our stay, which was a shame as we picked the hotel as it had a lift. It wasn’t the staffs fault and they tried their best to get it fixed. The parking wasn’t always easy but it was free.
The friendliness of the staff was excellent. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast, accommodated gluten free request with no problem . Opposite the beach which is what we love. It’s an old fashioned hotel, but spotlessly clean. Room was serviced everyday by thoughtful staff.

United KingdomThe quality of the breakfast wasn't great, but of an adequate start to the day, and catering for so many at once always has its difficulties.
Whilst the hotel is slightly tired and would benefit a refurbishment/decoration it was spotlessly clean and a very enjoyable stay. The location of the venue was second to none and there is adequate free parking on site. We would certainly go back if we were in the area in the future.

United KingdomNothing really - room was slightly tired but that did not detract from the lovely hotel generally
The location is superb, a few hundred yards from Paignton seafront. The room was just right - slightly tired but ensuite was good. it was clean and had plenty of tea and coffee. Staff are incredibly helpful The bar area overlooks the front so you can sit with a drink and overlook the sea The hotel is a very short walk into town and 2 minutes walk to the front and beach Free parking was a bonus We didn't eat in the hotel (and other was no pressure to do so) It was planned as a short break and was ideal
