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 KingdomThe facilities are old needs a bit of a refurb. But that’s only the pool and changing rooms. Everything else was beautiful. Although there was a large stain on our floor so maybe refurb the carpets too. But this is just small things really.
Loved the hotel decor. Felt like the perfect place for a murder mystery party. Bed was made everyday. The staff were all very friendly and kind. Perfect location! Right next to the sea, which was good when we did a sea dip. Only a 50 min walk from Paignton beach as well. We had breakfast with our room and it was great every time!

United KingdomThe garish decor in breakfast room and lack of blinds to shield you from the sun that flooded the room. No hot choices other than full English breakfast. The garage looks like a bomb has hit it. The room heating was on a timer. We were cold.

United KingdomAt times communication problems in restaurant Expected staff to be properly trained on celiacs disease it was hard work when trying to order for my husband despite the fact our dinner was pre ordered your staff wasn’t very clear on my Husbands meal being completely gluten free!!! Even though I said it several times he has celiac disease Breakfast was hard work and a lot of waiting if your celiac even though I was speaking to staff as the card clearly stated Any Allergies or celiac’s disease on the restaurant entrance table .. To my Amazement they clearly aren’t well trained in this Area. Which is such a shame Hopefully you can do something about this for future guests.
All round excellent Throughout hotel and our room was AMAZING RECEPTION STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL

United KingdomThe room was too hot. The gym needs a massive up date The changing rooms were freezing and unkept We were very disappointed to hear that guests had been transferred from a sister hotel and got to stay at the grand for £30 with breakfast. Yet we paid over £168 for two nights no breakfast included. This seemed a bit of a let down. If staying in torquay I would recommend the headland hotel
That the staff were very welcoming and the bar area was lovely.
