Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

As we were there for 10 nights a spare hand towel and bathmat would be great. Also somewhere to hang the bathmat in the bathroom.
An apartment right at the beach, restaurants and shops. Really well equipped kitchen and laundry with plenty of extras like the welcome hamper.

Loved everything. Situation was perfect and all you do is cross the road to the beach, walk out the front for a coffee/breakfast/dinner. We walked to Bomboras to listen to a band.
Liked everything about this place. The drawers in the kitchen eveything you could ever need. Plenty of towells, lovely shampoo, conditioner and body wash and an yummy little welcome pack with brekky foods etc. The apartment is in the heart of Torquay although is extremely quiet.

A super picky person would say no towel hooks in the bathroom, but no big deal.
Everything. Great location, short walk to beach, shops and restaurants. Quiet location, off street, quality linen and fittings, and we loved the little extras, umbrellas, board games, smart tv, breakfast,.it's a long list.

The bed was so hard it was like sleeping on the floor. We both had sore hips ribs and shoulders caused from the hardness of the bed, I would suggest a mattress topper would be a great idea you can get them for around $100/$150, I have one on a hard bed and it works miracles. We won't come back here because of the bed, unless the it is rectified.A downstairs toilet would be good but there is not much you can do about that.
Location excellent. A face washer would not go astray, I had to use the hand towel as a face washer to get my makeup off. There is nowhere to hang bath towels in the bathroom.

No issues (Maybe some extra towels, tissues, perhaps a hand towel rack and a light switch near bed would have been helpful.). These are not complaints - merely suggestions. We were very happy with the accommodation. It was as advertised on booking.com
Very clean - great location

The memory pillows weren’t our favourite!
The apartment is well placed near restaurants and the beach but peacefully quiet. The accommodation was very clean, modern and exceeded expectations on amenities and supplies. I loved the use of local products and the provision of soaps, body products and the beautiful welcome hamper - the granola was delicious!
