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):
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.).

United KingdomFriendly, helpful and obligating hosts. Lovely comfortable room and en suite showerroom with tea/coffee facilities, toiletries, and a chocolate mint each day. Excellent breakfast. Full English not tried but alternatives, eggs with smoked salmon and American pancakes with fruit and maple syrup were delicious.

United KingdomThe location was great, short walk to the town centre and all the land was flat. The room had everything we would expect to need, such as an iron and heatproof mat, tea and coffee facilities, and a TV that is actually connected to streaming service and normal channels. The bathroom was a decent size, and the door was invented to not take up anymore space. Breakfast was really nice and done with all the food you liked so you didn't have to compromise on it.

United KingdomThe metal stairs to get into the property when it was raining and with luggage wasn't great as it was very slippery. The car park facilities were not brilliant and ended up parking by the rugby club which made it easier to get to the B&B. The merrit B&B is listed as a B&B so you would presume breakfast would be included.
The location, cleanliness and staff were very helpful. I had a lovely weekend visiting family and my overall stay was great. Would come back again.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say was my mattress was slightly too firm for the wife but that is personnel preference.
Marc and Julie were great hosts, happy to help out whenever needed. Everything was immaculately clean at all times. Great touch being allowed to bring takeaways into the dining area and utilising all the cutlery and plates. Would 100% stay here again and will be recommending Merritt House to any of my friends who head Paignton way.

United KingdomMerritt house is a lovely place to stay. The room had a lovely shower, comfortable bed with a fan above for air conditioning. The room provided a kettle with tea and coffee available. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The location is perfect as it is in the centre of town and close to everything, including the pier. It’s a 40 minute walk to the zoo which was perfect. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you. :).

United KingdomCar parking is limited. Although it advertises 4 spaces, the narrow access makes these tricky even for a medium-sized car, especially if larger vehicles are already parked. There is some free street parking, and we were never stuck, but sometimes had to make multiple tours around the block looking/waiting. Our room was smallish, with limited storage & hanging space, but we were only there for 3 nights, not a problem.
Very friendly and helpful owners, who happily accommodated our request for an early breakfast. Breakfast itself was good, well-cooked and sufficient without our being over-faced. The bed was comfortable with nice linen, and the bathroom clean and well-supplied.
