Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomBooked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children. On arrival was told that we had booked a family room for just 2 adults and we had to pay extra for the 2 children for breakfast. Who books a family room without children. Out of 3 bookings; 2 weren’t what we booked. Hotel said it was the fault of BDC and we had to pay the extra

United KingdomWe were not fans of the restaurant food for dinner (breakfast was good) - it was ok for our first night there, but we ate out on the other days. I’m not saying we didn’t like the floor of the room (as we found it hilarious) but it seemed uneven - it felt like we’d drunk a few cocktails walking across the bathroom floor (we hadn’t).
Receptionist was helpful and offered help to get things to our room, but there was a lift so we did it ourselves. Room was beautiful - the view from the three large windows was amazing. It helped that the sun was shining on the sea. We could see practically most of Torbay. Bed was comfortable, we slept well. The seating area next to one of the windows was nice. We didn’t expect it but the bed was remade and the room straightened every morning while we were at breakfast. The outside pool was a bonus in the sunshine as was the outdoor bar. We did not use the gym or indoor pool.

United KingdomThis property is secluded, which we loved but if you are wanted to be close to centre I would not stay here as up on a hill. Great if weather lovely but you would need things planned if weather poor. Needs more of an indoor bar area if I had to try to find something I may not have liked.
Beautiful location facing the beach. Very clean. The rooms are lovely and comfy with all amenities needed and a few extra. Food is slightly high in price but is superb and worth it. Outdoor pool is lovely with sunbeds provided. Lovely quiet location.

United KingdomThe second night we were there, did not get any water, the toilet did not have a cleaning brush, the room was disappointing we were on the 2nd floor, I expected a better area when I booked the hotel, they should have said that it was an inland room, didn't get the chance to upgrade as it was busy. I would book again but a better room£439 for 3 days is reasonable but expected a better room. Julie Lomas

United StatesNo AC, but it is an older building.we slept with the windows open and a fan, so it wasn't too bad.to be honest, the coffee and breakfast was not all that. We ate there once. But there are plenty of places for breakfast. No refrigerator or microwave. And creaky old floors so hard to be quiet.
Location, Staff were fantastic. Bed was fairly comfortable. Older room but was fine.
