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...).

We loved it all.
Exceptional - the very best of B&B hotels. Spotlessly clean, the attention to detail, the little things that make so much difference, it all falls into place at the Carlton Court Hotel. A warm welcome, beautifully presented room and ensuite bathroom, we were so impressed by our host and her lovely hotel. The breakfasts deserve a special mention, with a wide choice of cooked options, including a fabulous full English. Recommended without hesitation.

Nothing it was fabulous throughout and couldn’t have done a better job or provided a better service. Fantastic
The property was in a lovely location within easy walk of Torquay town center and the beach, both of which were only 10 minutes away. The property was decorated very nicely throughout inside and out. Had very good signage and a lovely garden. Also has private free parking which is a big plus. The rooms were very spacious and the hosts were phenomenal and very welcoming. Had a lovely chat with both Lynn and Paul.

We had a restful stay at the Carlton Court Hotel. The breakfast was delicious and hot. Lynn was very welcoming espicially so because we arrived an hour early. Lynn ensured our stay was comfortable and even laid out a table in the dining room for us to have our take away dinner. She gave us a lot of useful information about the area and places to visit. Lynn's friendliness and hospitality made our stay pleasant and enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently situated just a 10 minute walk from the promenade. We were provided with information about restaurants and take aways as well as attractions that we could visit, before our arrival. Would recommend this hotel.

Location was ideal, just a short walk away from the seafront with all of the restaurants and activities. Excellent breakfast, with a good choice available. Exceptionally clean rooms which were very quiet resulting in a good nights sleep. Lynne and Paul were brilliant hosts. We had never been to the area before and they were always on hand to offer suggestions on where to visit and where to eat.

The weather, but the hosts couldn´t really do anything against that ;-)
Recently renovated and decorated with a restrained but comfortable style. My room was of a very good size and offered more than adequate storage and a good opportunity to work, although my visit was primarily of a private nature. The hosts were very accommodating, and the breakfast was fresh and in part prepared with home-made ingredients. I really miss the good English breakfast ;-)
