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 were on the second floor, no working lift to that floor. The bed sloped down to the left and towards the headboard. The room gathered a lot of dust over the few days we were there, room was not serviced but someone had been in and left the door open. We did report this and expected a follow up from a manager but no one took time to aknowledge this. Someone had spilt crumbs on the stairs on the friday, they were still there on the sunday when we checked out.
The bathroom, toilet were very clean. The bed linen was clean too. Excellent view from the window. Lounge area was very clean and smart.

United KingdomBathroom floor was a bit dirty. Shower fittings were loose in the shower cubicle - in room 218 You have to pay £6 for parking on top of the cost. It's alot of stairs even to get to the 2nd floor. Not particularly quiet as its an old building.
Good location, nice room, asked for an extra pillow which was no trouble, reception staff very helpful. Lovely building. Comfortable bed, value for money. Staff assisted straightaway with alot of noise coming from the floor/room in the area at 11pm at night, but not what you want when you have just driven 300 miles, need to instill quiet time!

United KingdomThe lack of facilities for people who are not too good on their feet. I think that generally there is a lack of acknowledgement in Painton for people with disabilities. The bathroom facilities are not brilliant. I tried to have a shower but it was cold?We had our grandson with us but they did not seem to acknowledge it as there was no sleeping arrangements for him. The lift was out of order unfortunately.
The location is good for the sea front. The staff are very helpful. The hotel is pleasant and I appreciate they are trying to make a go of it.

United KingdomThe hotel was a bit smelly in the corridors of smoke, the breakfast was cold, and only one member of staff was on duty in the breakfast room, trying his hardest to serve a hotel full of guests. Well done George, feel sorry for you. The shower cubicle was very tight, and no water pressure. This hotel needs a lot of work and improvements done ASAP
The location is brilliant and good parking. Staff was friendly and helpful

United KingdomWe were next door to a barking dog until 12.45am . The room was fine but shower was tiny for my husband to shower in. A floor mat to soak up the water would be better & 2 hand towels for drying wet hair. Location was great and sea view was amazing.

United KingdomThe ensuite in both our rooms were quite smelly. Whether there was a problem with drains I don't know. Hotel advertised that they served dinner, they don't. Advertised entertainment, there was none. Lift was out of order all weekend. We weren't told about the £6 a day parking charge. We have stayed at several properties in Paignton over many years and have never had to pay extra for parking. The rooms were extremely warm, no fan available.
The view. The rooms were lovely. Wish the bed in double room was against the opposite wall as we would have been able to watch the sunrise and sunset from bed. The hotel was clean and the staff were really helpful.
