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.).

Visiting on may bank holiday weekend. On arrival we were welcomed by Val and Roger who explained everything to us very clearly, where we could go explore, basic rules etc. Everything that was stated in the email, clean room, nice views, friendly host, highly met our expectations. The pirate festival was a lot of fun and would highly recommend it in Brixham. On my birthday, i found a very sweet gift from Val and Roger. Very lovely people.

United KingdomWe are used to this and it doesn’t detract from our stays but just for new visitors to be aware the beach the room overlooks is a dog beach so there are always dogs barking from early in the morning so have a good pair of earplugs if the noise of dogs bothers you!
This was my and my daughter’s 3rd stay with Val and Roger and as always they looked after us amazingly - it is such a home from home with everything you would need for a short stay. The location is perfect with restaurants close by and only a short walk over the hill into Paignton. The bed is super comfy, the views are incredible, and the private gate to the beach is so handy. We love staying here and will be back as long as they’ll have us!

The room exceeded our expectations. They have literally thought of everything. The bed is super comfy and every day the towels and breakfast basket are replenished. It’s in a great location with easy access to the buses/trains/boat rides. Will definitely be returning!

United KingdomHaving to leave lol
When we arrived we had a lovely welcome from Val and Roger, Val showed us around our room and told us if we needed anything just give her a shout.The room is lovely and immaculate,we had everything there that you would need . There's a little fridge in the room which has bottled water , orange juice and fresh milk ,fresh milk was a lovely touch because everywhere we have stayed previously it's always uht milk which isn't very nice .Val also does a little breakfast basket which is lovely because it is an extra that she does not have to do , it has cereal bars ,Pan au chocolate and some cereal .The view is absolutely stunning from the room .It's a ten minute walk to Paignton beach walking along the cliffside path which is stunning .Val is very knowledgeable about the local area if you are unsure of the area . I did see reviews before where people were saying you are in a room in someone's house but don't be put off by this because as you enter the front door your room is directly opposite,we literally didn't see our hosts but knew they were there if we needed them .Thank you for a lovely stay ,you can see you guys truly love what you do .

Absolutely Fantastic Stay at Vista Room with Sea View. Val and Roger were great and really looked after us during our stay. The Room was lovely and exceeded our expectations. The view from the room was fantastic and we enjoyed sitting at open window looking out at the sea, beach, park and Brixham. Val provided a breakfast basket of cereal, cereal bars and pain au chocolate. Fresh everyday alongside fresh milk, orange juice and water. Room was cleaned to high standard everyday. Bathroom was perfect and shower was brilliant. Shower Gel provided as well. Free Parking a big bonus. Gate in corner of Car Park leads straight onto beach and park. Great location right by Roundham Head and Goodrington Beach. All in all a great holiday and we'll definitely be back. A big pat on the back to Val (And Roger). Lovely Couple

United KingdomNothing it’s fab.
Totally relaxing stay with amazing panoramic view, we loved the sliding window and it felt like a balcony room. The accommodation is immaculate and spacious with lots of special touches including usb ports either side of the bed. Val and Roger, our hosts, are lovely people and really care about their guests comfort, you can tell Val has put her heart into making the room special. The bed is extremely comfy and we slept really well. Great shower in the bathroom en-suite. There’s a ceiling fan and individual fans either side of the bed although it was not needed as we slept with the window open. The mini fridge is stocked with water, milk & orange juice daily and the the breakfast basket is a nice touch. So glad we found this exceptional place and we will be coming back.
