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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe public areas are a bit tired but not dreadful. I prefer a bath rather than a shower but we had a nice clean modern bathroom with power shower so really couldn’t fault it too much
It was in a great location close to the town. There was parking and a podpoint for our electric car to charge.

United KingdomRoom a bit small
Breakfast was excellent. View from the room slightly disappointing as wall next to us obscured part of the view and we were on the ground floor so view mostly of grass and flood lights. View from the bar/lounge stunning and also from outside areas. Very pleasant terrace area.

United KingdomThe hotel was very warm which made it uncomfortable at times. Also we were originally placed in room number 3 which is downstairs. The window to this room has a massive colour changing floodlight outside which lights the room up like a night club even with the curtains closed. Thankfully we were moved to a room higher up away from the light.
The location looking over the coast was excellent. Also this hotel is dog friendly which is always a bonus. The breakfast was also very good.

United Kingdomthe room where I stayed was at the top and it was a long walk along the corridor, also it was noisy due to a wedding function.
I liked the location and sea views, also went to the bar area which was nice but loud as during my stay there was a wedding function.

United KingdomBit tired and they ‘upgraded’ our room to a triple (one small double bed plus one single) which meant the room was full of beds. The window was very small - difficult to see out as dressing table and mirror fixed in front of it.
Excellent food. Good location.

United KingdomNothing. The hotel is old but clean and as you would expect for an old building.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Good parking facilities with electric car chargers. Nice buffet breakfast. The view from the lounge was stunning. Full view out to sea and along the coast towards Torquay harbour. Great entertainer one evening named Dave. Located between Torquay and Paignton.

United KingdomVery dated throughout, bedroom was shabby and needed complete renovation and avocado bathroom suite wasn’t pleasant!
Great views and we were lucky enough to have a sea view however, the double glazed window was old and had condensation inside the actual window panes so the view was non existent unless window wide open. Staff were great.

United KingdomNothing to complain about. One can’t expect something for nothing, prices are fair. It’s Torquay, there will be no wildebeest striding majestically but it’s a great place to stay.
Magnificent views from the rear of hotel, the staff are amazingly helpful and always friendly. The food is good quality and reasonably priced, not all rooms are blessed with a panoramic vista but comfortable and well-kept.

United KingdomWe had huge problems regulating the shower. Being a mixer shower fed up from taps it proved a challenge we could have done without. A nice electric shower or other design would have been much nicer.
Our room was beautiful. Really large for three adults. The view was magnificent. Plenty of storage for clothes and luggage. The beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to have the use of a terrace. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. Coffee particularly tasty.

United KingdomThe towel rail is permanently on in the bathroom and you are unable to turn off. TV is pretty temperamental and lights shone straight into bedroom from the garden to the rear of the property. They were turned off around 12 midnight.
Position of the hotel is exceptional. Beds comfortable, parking is good.

United KingdomNo air conditioning, toilet was very smelly, not sure of the last time it saw any bleach down it. The shower was a dribble, not a shower. The single bed... we nicknamed the marshmallow. No support and I've no idea how my son managed to sleep on it to be honest. Decor needs an update in the room we were in to complement the view and the avocado bath and basin combined with the white toilet, well, need I say more..?
The amazing location and sea view room. The staff were all really lovely. Coffee was a high standard, really lovely and the shortbread that comes with it was appreciated. We would definitely stay again but I would wish to get a fresher room to go along with the amazing views.
