Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Kingdomcar park whilst adequate , if you need to access your car it is possible you could get blocked in by other guests so check if you need your car later in the day. This should not deter you though , it was no bother to re-arrange parking.
the accommodation was spotless, breakfast was excellent ,marc and rose couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. we shall definitely return to the Silverlands , in our view it was the best guesthouse we have stayed in whilst frequently visiting Torquay. If you didn't want to walk or use the car there is a bus stop directly outside or a train station literally at the end of the road which will take you into Torquay, Paignton etc. But Torquay town is only a 15-20 min walk.

United KingdomThe bed was a little hard but that is just my personal preference. (Still slept like a log)
We arrived a little early and went into the guest house to ask if we could park our car in their carpark so that we could walk into the town. We were greeted straight away and were told our room was ready although we were an hour or so early. We had a warm welcome with lots of information and were even offered a map of Torquay. Our lovely host then said that she has upgraded our room free of charge! Our room was absolutely spotless. The smell was nice and fresh. The Bathroom was pristine and had a lovely shower! A very modern yet homely room. Biscuits, hot chocolate, tea & coffee. Great Tv on wall! We were given a piece of paper to fill out for our breakfast, we had to fill it out by the evening prior but this was not an issue. There is a chart with all the breakfast items for a full English & we just had to write how many of what item we would like. The breakfast was great! The waitress who served us was very attentive and friendly. Great choice of fruit, cereal, juice and yoghurt. Overall- brilliant guest house, amazing customer service, perfect location, lovely breakfast, and super clean with a homely vibe. Thank you for making our weekend trip so enjoyable.

United KingdomWe had the pleasure of staying at the Silverlands Guest House over the Spring bank holiday weekend. The place captivated us with its charm and warmth. Our hosts, Rose and Marc, were the epitome of hospitality. Their genuine friendly demeanour made it effortless for them to cater to our needs. It felt as though we were visiting old friends rather than staying at a guest house. They were generous with their local knowledge, providing us with excellent advice on exploring the area. Our room was a haven of comfort and cleanliness. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and boasted a fantastic bathroom that was kept immaculately clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bed linen added a cosy, warm touch that we particularly loved. Breakfast was a delight, offering a variety of freshly prepared options, (best hash browns I have ever tasted☺), complemented by an assortment of cereals, fruits and yogurts. Location was ideal, just a short stroll away from the town centre and the harbour. For those who prefer not to walk or drive, there’s a conveniently located bus stop right at the doorstep. Additionally, parking is plentiful, ensuring a hassle-free experience for those travelling by car. All in all, our stay at Silverlands was nothing short of delightful. We would love to return to Torquay and we'd look no further, we'd just book at Silverlands . Thank you very much Rose and Marc, you were brilliant hosts and we had a great stay!!

The hosts were very welcoming, interested in their guests and flexible. The room was good, the bed was comfy it was quiet and we had a great view of the garden. There is free parking, it is very close to the railway station. The breakfast was great and there was loads of it. We walked down into town, we do a lot of walking so it wasn't an issue for us, for people who don't do much walking it is all uphill on the way back, there may well be taxi's or buses but we didn't use them so I can't comment on this.

United KingdomMy stay at Silverlands Guest House was really good. Rose & Marc were very welcoming & just lovely hosts throughout my stay. My requests for an early breakfast was "No Trouble At All" & it met my expectations. The room was tastefully decorated & extremely clean throughout. The bed was very comfortable & the bathroom was spacious & modern. Parking was available which is quite rare for some parts in Torquay. I am travelling to Torquay again & will be staying at Silverlands once again.

A lovely b&b in good location with small carpark. Greeted by Marc & Rose who were very friendly and helpful. Room was lovely, we had been upgraded to king room which was much appreciated. It was spotlessly clean and bed comfy. Had to preorder breakfast and select time, the evening before. The cooked breakfast was delicious; quality ingredients and plentiful. Would highly recommend this b&b
