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 KingdomAir conditioning seemed to have a mind of its own. For some reason unknown to us the bed wasn’t made on our last night although they had been in and tidied up and replenished toilet rolls etc, didn’t bother complaining it was no big deal to us.
Lovely comfortable bed. Good size tv, didn’t use restaurant as just used hotel as base for touring the area.

United KingdomBreakfast was good, but at times seemed to be a bit disorganised with people having to ask for spoons, tea etc, and the coffee machine being right next to the kitchen door! Parking a bit of a faff but OK when you get the hang of it! Do tell them if you are not using the car park - they assume that you are and charge you accordingly. Accessible room - there was no shelving in the bathroom (plenty of room for it), and only one small hook, not sure if this applies to all rooms, but this could definitely be improved.
Great location, right by the pier and town centre. Staff were all lovely, all with a smile on their face. Very clean and tidy. Lovely gardens and terrace on the front. Well maintained. Reception very helpful and efficient.

United KingdomBreakfast and dinner choices.
The breakfast choices were disappointing. Very little fruit or cereal and no choices re cooked options. Restaurant options were also limited. Kitchen seemed to be catering mostly for coach parties who had a cheaper menu so independent travellers seemed to come second place.

United KingdomParking - it’s first come first served but can use ibis but if that is full like it was when we stayed we had to pay at sea front but to be fair we did get 1 day parking money back so thank you. At breakfast have to order hash browns at bar so finished breakfast before the hash brown turned up bit of a weird way to do it.
Very posh, massive bed and tv, nice view, friendly staff.

United KingdomThere's really nothing to dislike about my stays here.
The hotel looks beautiful and the rooms are spacious and very clean. I especially love the walk in shower as I struggle with mobility. The temperature and shower pressure is the best I've ever experienced at a hotel. The breakfast has an amazing choice of hot buffet and cereals, fruits, meat, cheese and condiments. The restaurant does excellent food in the evening as well. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. This is where my partner now stay every time she comes to visit me in Paignton. The location is just 5 minutes walk from the train and bus stations and I'd across the road from the beach.

United KingdomPaying £30 for my 2 dogs to stay and even did not get a dogs bed to sleep in or food or water bowls. We requested for these on 2 occasions and at no time did we get them. I call this a rip off.
