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 KingdomProbably the check out time being 10am and no options for breakfast.
The location was great, 20 mins walk around the bay and you are in Torquay town. The views are fantastic and the rooms although basic were well equipped and comfortable. For a budget no thrills base this ticks all the boxes.

United KingdomNothing. Although someone else may regret the lack of a restaurant (There are plenty of restaurants and cafes within 5 minutes walk)
This is a cheap and cheerful, rather old fashioned hotel, some distance from the shops and harbour but close to the sea, although set back from the busy road. My single room was basic but fine, comfortable and quiet.

United KingdomCould hear everything the guests in the room next door were saying and everytime they walked around, flushed the toilet etc, so the rooms could be slightly more sound proof.
Great sea views from our room which was very spacious. Ideal location if you're looking for something that isn't in the town centre but is still within walking distance. There's also a bus stop just down the road with regular buses that run until early hours.

United KingdomFor one night it was adequate and no doubt in the summer would be pleasant. No breakfast provided.
The room was on the seafront and perfectly adequate but small. Good bathroom. Rather chilly but it was January and the weekend of the worst storms. Very good position and sea view.

Friendly staff and clean room and the price was reasonable. The view from the hotel gardens was nice and they were kept clean and tiday. Plenty of parking too.

United KingdomIt would be great to have tea / coffee and snacks in their beautiful lounge, breakfasts in the spacious dining room, but I understand they might not be making enough money to offer food. It's a beautiful building, its a shame its not used more fully.
Clean and comfy room with a great shower and good views. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Friendly staff, lovely building. Close to Torre Abbey, the train station and the beach. Lots of buses in to town and to surrounding areas.

United KingdomRoom was small and I was pretty cold as duvet was very thin and no extra covers provided probably due to recent hot weather but it had turned cold recently so I was very cold. Water pressure is terrible and the shower just sort of trickled. Shampoo provided is as good as washing up liquid on your hair - don’t use it. Room wasn’t the cleanest one of our beds had hairs on the sheets under the duvet and my towels had lots of black smudges on them. My cup was really dirty too so couldn’t have a cuppa. I did sleep well as the bed was comfy but I had ear plugs which was good as walls are thin and you can hear people in other rooms.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, bed was lovely and comfy and the room had hairdryer, tv, good view, tea and coffee and nice biscuits

United KingdomHad to be back relatively early to be guaranteed a car parking space. It would have been nice to have had the option of breakfast. Bar was very limited in choice and quite costly, but it was ok to bring your own food and drinks and sit in the lounge.
Location was great to walk along the coastal path to Torquay and Paignton, as well as being great to explore the area by car.
