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.).

AustraliaThe owners were incredibly friendly and so helpful. We had a last minute unexpected change of plans and they were so kinda to accommodate and let us check out later than planned. The room was stunning. So well designed and everything was very high quality. Great location, a short walk to the harbour and lovely beach nearby with a cafe. On the coastal path route.

United KingdomI recently had the pleasure of staying in a very spacious apartment that truly felt like a home away from home, thanks to all the facilities it offered. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the delightful sight of beautiful cut flowers in the room, which added a personal touch that I greatly appreciated. It's these small details that really make a difference in creating a welcoming atmosphere. The apartment's location was another major highlight. It was perfectly situated, making it incredibly convenient to explore the surrounding area without having to travel too far. This convenience added a lot of value to my stay, as I could spend more time enjoying my visit and less time worrying about transportation. Additionally, as a tea lover, I was thoroughly impressed by the quality tea selection available. It was a delightful surprise that enhanced my mornings and evenings, allowing me to indulge in some of my favorite flavors as well as discover new ones. However, one aspect that could be improved was the temperature of the apartment. It was a bit cold, which, while not a deal-breaker, did require me to bundle up more than I would have liked. A slight adjustment to the heating could easily remedy this and make the space even more comfortable. Overall, my experience was very positive. The spaciousness of the apartment, along with its excellent location and thoughtful touches like the cut flowers and tea selection, made my stay enjoyable. With a minor tweak to the heating, I believe this apartment would be absolutely perfect. I would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

United KingdomNothing - easily the best apartment I've stayed in.
Palm Grove was perfect for our short trip to Torquay. My partner and I loved our stay and would happily book to stay again. The apartment was spotless, with brand-new furnishings and a high-quality kitchen that was more than an adequate for a three-night stay. The location is beautiful, just 5-10 mins walk from the coast and a similar distance to Torquay Harbour. The apartments themselves have lovely gardens with outdoor furniture - perfect for hosting guests our relaxing in the sunshine. However, our hosts were the most memorable part of the trip. Anthony and David were welcoming hosts, greeting us with a friendly face on our arrival and even offering us a lift to the station when our taxi didn't arrive.

We wanted somewhere to stay for our daughter's wedding based at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. We came across Palm Grove Apartments and struck gold! We had 3 apartments, one was a 2 bedroom, and all of them were to a very high standard and prefect for our needs. The hosts could not have done more, very friendly and great communication. We would not look elsewhere if we were to stay in Torquay for another occasion
