How guest reviews work
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 are 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

No issues
Karen and Lee are excellent hosts. They made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived til the time we left for home. They responded to any requests promptly and offered advice on local places of interest etc. The room was very well appointed with lots of storage space and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were great and everything was cooked fresh to your liking. An ideal location for us - only a short walk/bus journey to the town centre/seafront. A quiet, relaxing break and we will recommend the Westgate to all our friends and would certainly stay there again.

The hotel exceeded all of our expectations. A special jewel on the English coast. It is conveniently located close to the train station, but also to the beach promenade. Our room with the ancient four-poster bed was so beautiful that you wouldn't really want to share it with anyone else. The bathroom is very large, clean and modern. The hotel owners were hospitable and always in a good mood. They always responded to individual wishes. We can warmly recommend this hotel.

Lee and Karen were wonderful hosts nothing was too much trouble. Had a fab 4 poster room. Breakfast was exceptional even Karen's poached eggs were perfect, and the optional evening meal was homecooked to a very high standard. Lovely guests staying the same time as we did. Central and easy walking distant (even though it was on a incline)to all amenities. Plenty of parking spaces. We would award them "Four in a bed" winners 🏆 👏 😄😁

nothing to say that there was anything we didn't like , it was the best hotel we been to for our weekend breaks and we been to a few but Westgate tops them all the only downside was that there were not many other guests there despite it being Torbay Air show weekend
Both Lee and Karen are exceptional hosts and very friendly and helpful , breakfast superb evening meals which you pay extra for were great and good size portions , I would recommend when having evening meals that the onion soup was brilliant and I asked for it again later during our 4 day stay . we asked Lee about some local shops and high tide times for nearby beaches and he even went to check online for us while we were in between meals in the evening . the hotel is well located for beaches and shops in Torquay and also for getting out and about by car,

Nothing really, it was a lovely hotel.
Gorgeous boutique hotel. We got a complementary room upgrade, which was fabulous. Our upgraded room had the most amazing en-suite bathroom. the hosts Karen and Ian were welcoming and friendly. As we stayed over the Easter weekend, we were left surprise Easter eggs on our pillows, which was a lovely, thoughtful touch. I would highly recommend a stay at The Westgate and will definitely be staying again whenever we re-visit Torquay.

The bathroom in our room (room 11) was very small. If we had been any less able, it would have been unusable.
The upkeep of The Westgate is impeccable, very clean and tidy. Breakfast is exceptionally good.

There was nothing really to dislike about this property it was great.
The host couple were welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Nothing was too much for them, Lee even repaired one of our bikes without us even asking. The room was modern, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and tasty. The location was good, close to the seafront and parking was easy.
