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 StatesThe overall decor is tired and needs refreshing, chipped paint in communal areas and rooms, carpet stains, etc. But the property is very clean, constant staff cleaning, hovering, etc. Biggest issue for us was the mattresses, they are old and we could really feel the springs digging in. They really need to update the mattresses / beds.
very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent facilities, esp for kids on a rainy / cold day. The games area is amazing. Breakfast was very good, buffet style with fresh hot cooked bacon, eggs, etc.

United KingdomThe standard room was very dated and we found it very bizarre how there was a fire exit door in there. The green light on the fire exit sign was bright at night which was very annoying. The room was expensive considering how basic it was. We wouldn't book a standard room again. The shower wouldn't work one morning and it was a few hours before it was fully sorted which delayed us from starting our day as we had planned. The lady on Reception was amazing though! The cleaners were very unfriendly on the day our shower wasn't working. They knocked and wanted to clean the room. When I told them that we were only just having showers, one cleaner rolled her eyes and was quite rude. The other cleaner just looked at me, then walked off.
We have been coming to TLH every year for 6 years and love it here! The facilities are ideal if you have young kids or teens as there is plenty to do! The Toorak Hotel is our favourite and we usually book a sea view room. This year, we had a view overlooking the rear car park and pool. The indoor pool is fantastic and there is a small arcade with pool tables and mini bowling too. There are eating options in the Aztec or Albert's but we only had one meal there. The location is ideal - just 5 mins walk to the beautiful seafront of Torquay. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, especially the lovely lady on Reception who stored our bags on the last day to enable us to enjoy an extra few hours wandering around Torquay. Overall, another lovely stay. We will be back!

United KingdomThe Toorak Hotel is part of a large complex that includes four hotels, each offering a variety of restaurants. However, it’s worth noting that many of the dining options close early, making it challenging to find food after 9:00 PM. The complex features plenty of cafes and numerous entertainment options, particularly for children, making it an ideal destination for a family vacation. Our family, including our 10-year-old child, stayed in different buildings, including Victoria and Toorak. Some rooms, especially in Victoria, were less comfortable due to their smaller size and lack of coziness. We preferred our stay at Toorak, where the conditions were more enjoyable. Despite these minor drawbacks, we had a wonderful time, staying busy with various activities and only returning to the hotel to rest. I would highly recommend this hotel for families with children or anyone seeking an active vacation with a good selection of bars and other amenities. The amazing kids' club, featuring bowling, arcade and board games, table tennis, air hockey, and an excellent swimming pool, was especially delightful for our 10-year-old. There’s also a very good café-bistro located next to the pool. I’d like to highlight the attentive service at reception, especially Claire, as well as the friendliness of the entire hotel staff, who were always ready to assist. Thank you—we will definitely return!

United KingdomThis particular part of the hotel is quite a walk from the main facilities for disabled people like me. The hotel is made up of 4 in one, so be careful when booking that you’re not too far away from the entertainment and facilities if you are disabled. The first room we were given felt very close and small, so I asked the lady at reception if we could change rooms and she was very friendly and helpful!
The pool is great, lots of play parks and entertainment for children. The food is good at the restaurant on site. We had a live singer in the outside bar area which was nice and the staff are all very friendly & helpful. It’s good value for the price you pay. We will defo be a regular returning customer!
