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.).

We had a fantastic stay here, great location within walking distance of a lovely cove (complete with cafe serving food, alcohol), shops and eateries in Wellswood and not far to walk into central Torquay. The apartment (no 6) was amazing, beautifully decorated and spotless, very well appointed with top brands (SMEG) lots of lovely personal touches like cake, milk and soft drinks in the fridge for your arrival. The hosts are very welcoming with local information but also discreet. Parking is easy and the beautiful garden is there for you to enjoy. I cannot recommend this enough.

United KingdomNothing that I can think of. Everything was fantastic!
A great self-cntained studio.Well located with amazing living room and gardens, comfy extra large bed and fully equipped kitchen and ultra Morden bathroom. The owners live in this beatiful enormous house and they are very kind, helpful and big dog fans. Secure parking is also available at the property. It is safe and quiet. Location is great: 2-3 min by car to the ideal center of Torquay. Nearest street with shops is 3-4 min walk, nearest beach is 10-15 min walk and there are more than 10 other beaches within 10-30 min drive. Highly recommended!

SwitzerlandAbsolutely nothing!
- The hosts were friendly, helpful and very accommodating - The apartment was beautiful and felt like a real home from home. It was also equipped with everything you could possibly need, including some delicious sweet treats. - It was very pet-friendly; in the apartment we found a basket full of useful things for the dog, eg: towel, treats, poo bags ... - The gardens were really pretty and, had the weather been better, we would have used them more. - The area was great - you have Wellswood a 3 minute walk away where there is a row of shops, a fantastic pub and deli/cafe.

We received a friendly welcome upon arrival. We were given a map of the area and provided with recommendations of where to visit/eat which we found useful. The apartment was very spacious and had everything you needed to have a comfortable stay. There was a pint of milk, bottles of water and soft drinks in the fridge which was a nice touch plus a cake on the side. Transport links were good and close by.

Great location (bear in mind it's up a steep hill, so you need a bit of stamina 😊) Comfy bed, lovely friendly hosts, everything you will need contained within the apartment. Had to cut holiday short due to a family emergency but will be back.

United KingdomNothing not to like apart from the Torquay hills which we were warned about :)
I loved that it was like home from home you had enough space to be comfortable rather than in a small hotel room. A short walking distance or bus ride from where you wanted to be and away from thr busy town.
