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 KingdomWe return to the Charterhouse a couple of times each year. This is the Best Guest House in Torquay! Lisa and Cristophe are always welcoming, and the location is superb! You are a short walk from the Sea Front where you can walk into town or jump on the bus to other locations as the bus stops are situated there. Breakfast is always amazing with a wide selection of food, which are from local suppliers. Lisa and Cristophe also supply free parking, and they have gardens where you can sit and relax. The Charterhouse also has a pool.

The owner is lovely and makes you feel right at home from when you arrive. A beautiful location at the foot of Cockington / Torquay so town short walk one direction and the nature reserve the other. For our small family for a little break away this stay was perfect. Thank you so much.

A beautiful house set in a great location. Lisa and Christophe were the perfect hosts. The bedroom and bathroom were both spotless, and it had a dual aspect sea view. Breakfast was lovely too, there was a great selection of both locally sourced and home made items. My wife and I will definitely be staying here again.

An excellent breakfast with good fresh ingredients and efficient service. The room was really clean and the bed comfortable. A nice quiet area within 20 minutes walk to the centre of Torquay. We would definitely stay again at some point in the future. Fresh milk supplied for early morning tea in the room.

United KingdomKids bed was broken, wasn't offered an alternative or anything. They took a look at the bed and still said we'll have to fix when you go. They didn't offer an alternative room. My nan passed away so I wasn't able to stay the second night... only stayed 1 night.
The distance from the hotel to the beach was convenient
