Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomOnly thing I would suggest is that the bar stay open longer. At present the bar closes after dinner.
Staff were so accommodating and friendly. The hotel decor and furnishings made you feel as though you were in a stately home. Very clean and room was spacious and cleaned daily. Breakfast choice was good and food was of a high standard. On site parking was a plus for me when booking. Location was excellent, 10 minutes from beach, just 15 minute coastal walk to Paignton and approximately one and half hour coastal walk into Torquay. If you are not feeling energetic there are bus stops nearby and bus/train stations in Paignton. Brixham harbour is lovely and the steam train to Dartmouth is a great day out. Overall both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our first holiday in England for many years!

United KingdomWe had to order an evening meal in the morning after breakfast and also book a time slot for the evening meal while on holiday this can be difficult as we had planned to go out sightseeing ever day, also you might not want what you confirmed for the evening meal after a days walking and sightseeing, the hotel only stocks bottle beer and no service after 9pm
The owner and staff were excellent, the standard of the Breakfast and dinner was of very high standard and the service was first class, we had breakfast every morning and one evening meal, the dining room was very spacious with nice views

United KingdomUnfortunately, no fault of hotel, but had 3 nights in extremely hot temperatures and as our room was at top of hotel and only had 1 window was very hot. A fan was provided after asking for one.
Nice clean hotel with friendly staff and very good breakfast. Very close to a nice beach but slightly further walk into Paignton itself. Excellent parking.

United KingdomThe room could have been a little bigger, not that we were spending much time there during the day, due to the great weather.
The bed was a nice size. The breakfast service was very good and the times it was served should suit everyone. You could tell that the management staff were very organised. It was great to be located just minutes from Young's Park and the beach.

United KingdomBar closed very early before 8 some nights, and as there were only two other pubs in the area which were either closed or not serving food and alcohol, found the evenings very unsociable. No information for any visitors venues could have been due to Covid but found some in other places
Breakfast very good. A variety of food and ver tasty.

United KingdomThe room (and because of the weather) was very hot. It meant the window had to be left wide open and the bathroom door left open at night to get airflow in from the window there. The breakfast on the first two mornings was brilliant. However, the breakfast on the third morning was poor. The scrambled egg was watery, the bacon rock hard and both not edible. Also, on checkout, I was asked if I had received an email because the hotel preferred bank transfers as a mode of payment. When I said I hadn't they asked if I could do one when I got home as they wanted to save money on card transaction fees. When I said I wanted to pay by credit card they finally agreed that I could pay by card. Better pre stay-communications needed between hotel and guests if this type of payment is needed.
The location of the hotel is absolutely brilliant. Only a short walk from the beach. The hotel itself is a stunning building and there was plenty of parking spaces. The room was cleaned and towels changed on a daily basis. Furthermore, I had broken down on the way to Devon. When I called to say I would be late they were very accommodating in giving me the door pass code and left my room key in the foyer when I arrived. I thank them for this. Very friendly morning staff.

I arrived early but was still accommodated. the staff were very attentive. the table i was given in the restaurant was perfect for a single person, looking out of the window towards the sea. The chef does very good sauces. The breakfast has lots of choice.

United KingdomWe had a ground floor room and unfortunately the room above had very creaking floorboards which was a bit annoying but it is an old property and it did not spoil our stay..
on arrival we had a very warm welcome and our room was read earlier than expected (which was a bonus) plenty of on site parking at no extra cost. Breakfast was perfect we chose the full english which set you up perfectly. The location of the hotel also perfect just a couple of minutes walk to the beach.
