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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 hotel needs updating but I appreciate it’s a large property and would cost a great deal. I feel they have done the best they can, considering this. I have stayed in about 8 hotels in Torquay and I will still rate it as one of our most enjoyable stays.
I was wondering what the hotel would be like as there are a lot of negative reviews. The lady on reception was very hospitable. The location was good and we had a lovely view of the sea. The rooms were clean and comfortable and a good size. A nice terrace to sit outside and have drinks. We would definitely stay again.

United KingdomI do like a big breakfast, and the full English portion was a lot less than I'm used to. There isn't much on offer for children, in terms of breakfast variety so we did have to buy our own yoghurts (not an option on the set menu, or fruit either) and bnb's we've stayed at have gone above and beyond to cater for our daughter. Service was a little slow on a couple of days, and the breakfast times weren't made clear (we came down at 8:30 am on our final day, and breakfast was served at 8am). No WiFi in bedrooms, and we had to go into certain areas to get a signal, so struggled to keep a child entertained. Entertainment was good but does appeal to a much older clientele. Hotel does need updating, and with the thin flooring we could hear heavy snoring for 4 nights in a row, so our sleep wasn't the best.
Everyone was very friendly, especially with our 5 year old daughter. We also enjoyed using the swimming pool in the evenings. The hotel was within walking distance of a beautiful coastline, and we could wake up every morning with some amazing scenery. Hotel also had some nice day trips on offer.

United KingdomOn arrival at 6pm we were told our room wasn't ready when check in at 3pm so should of been and because of this was given a different room where we would then need to transfer into a different room the next day which is not something you should have to do on a 2 night break as i like to organise my things to make it a easier stay rather than having to live out of suitcase which we had to due to being moved the next day The first room was clean but felt dirty due to the shabby furniture I couldn't sleep due to seeing bugs trapped in the tumble old style light fitting and just felt very itchy and uncomfortable due to very dirty carpets rust spots all in the bath which thank God that shower in that room worked eventually getting to sleep for the hour or so I did I was rudely awaken by the cleaners entering my room to tell me I had to depart that room and my actual room was ready so i had to shout at her to get out as i was sleeping and at 8.30am that was definitely not acceptable especially trying to enter my room while having a do not disturb sigh on the outdoor when I got up washed and dressed I then had to lug all my case and bag to the 3rd where I had a lovely view ripped seating so wasn't able to sit on as they were also very dirty dusty old thing bed was comy and that room did feel slightly cleaner but with the most squicky floorboards ever and the went to have a shower in the horrid shower cubicle to have it not work where the water trickled out so wasnunable to shower properly at all 🙃 I don't usually complain about hotels but this hotel charging between £70/£90 a night is absolutely disgusting we decided to stay another night in Torquay but booked a b and b at £60 a night which was luxury compared to those hotel and feel the state on this hotel should be charging no more than a maximum of £50 if that

United KingdomThe accommodation was very dated. Not very clean. The restaurant had huge cobwebs hanging from the window nearest the kitchen. The breakfast was dismal and was a child size meal, not what you expected when you asked for the full English you get 1 bacon, 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 hash brown, 1/2 a slice of fried bread and a spoon full of beans the scrambled egg on toast was on one slice of toast this is the size of a meal I would expect if I ordered it for my 8 year old daughter

Dirty pool Breakfast has to be at 08:30 exactly, you can't be 5 minutes late , we felt like we are at school not a hotel . ( we had to join coaches customers !!!! ) . No one mentioned any thing about that when we made our booking. Lift wasn't working. Never stay there again even for free. I'm asking for a refund, please. Your hotel ruined our holiday this year . Now we are looking to book another holiday for few days to recover .
