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 KingdomI wish we had stayed in the India room, the bathroom was out of this world. There are 6 rooms and they are all named after a country e.g; India, Bali, Tuscany, Egypt.
The breakfast was superb, the fruit was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The full english was delicious, very well cooked piping hot and lots of toast too. The house itself was fabulous, the owners a husband and wife team were very helpful and friendly. They had great pride in their beautiful home, the room where you had breakfast was wonderful, we were there over the Christmas period so we got to have a Christmas tree and very tasteful decorations to see. Good location to walk into Torquay.

United KingdomThe fact that we had to leave to catch the ferry
Everything, Elaine and Martin are such lovely, friendly hosts. A cup of coffee on arrival, explaining where restaurants are, how to get around on the map. You can tell they care so much about there home and guests. Our bedroom was so lovely and spotlessly clean. The bed was so comfortable and we had a really good nights sleep. Plenty toiletries in the bathroom. Lots of information in the bedroom where to find things eg hairdryer (which is a nice touch) Breakfast is good,lots of choice, cereals,yoghurts, fruit salad and of course a good old English breakfast if you want. There are also lighter options to choose from.

United KingdomNothing everything was absolutely perfect
The owners Martin and Elaine were very friendly, attentive, easy going, very nice and relaxed easy to talk to, we were welcomed in with a pot of tea straight away which was lovely. They helped by giving suggestions where to eat and places to go and explore, how to get to our friends, all round very lovely couple. The hotel was immaculately clean and smelt so fresh, the nice smell of breakfast in the morning was delicious. The décor is absolutely amazing and so beautifully maintained too. Lovely views and very peaceful. The room was a very decent size double room with an equally very decently sized ensuite with a walk in shower all beautifully designed and had everything we needed, we were asked if we required anything more which was also so nice and thoughtful. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and had a great choice from the cooked menu and the continental breakfast menu too. Will definitely stay again 100%
