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.).

The owners were welcoming and friendly and couldn't have made our stay any better, the facilities were superb, exceeded expectations, the bed was really comfortable, the breakfast was perfectly cooked each morning with so much choice, couldn't have wanted more. The owners were very helpful with directions and recommendations for places to visit, very knowledgeable about the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we have booked to return in February for Valentines. The price was amazing value for the service, facilities and hospitality that we received, highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at the Crowndale. On site parking available and street parking also good. Breakfast was excellent and hearty. Hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Wifi was consistently good throughout our stay. Rooms were made up every day to an exceptional standard. Short walk into town centre with excellent public transport connections to surrounding areas. Highly recommend the Crowndale.

The breakfast was delicious, the place was clean, beds comfortable. Only a 10 minute walk to the beach to. Value for money is 11/10 could definitely charge more. We can't wait to come back in the summer. Thank you for a great time and we will see you again soon.

United KingdomWe are a family who enjoys entertaining Our house rule is that guests remove dirty shoes. As it carries germs and bacteria throughout we provide guest slippers or they normally walk with their own. I couldn’t help but notice Pat and John had recently laid down new carpets throughout including the bedroom. Considering it rained for the duration of our visit it’s not nice coming in with dirty wet shoes. We took ours off and held it in our hands then put our slippers on. It’s just a thought! A house rule 👍🌹
The owners Pat & John went above and beyond to ensure our stay was welcoming. Pat took our breakfast order in advance so they knew exactly what to prepare in the morning. Without a shadow of doubt the breakfast was mind blowing it set us up until lunch time. If we were not sure of where we would be setting off to go, John with his amazing knowledge of the location and Torquay in general was paramount. This would set us up for the day in helping to plan our journey. We enjoyed the peace tranquility, friendly atmosphere. Great value for money eating out. Thank you Pat & John with regards to the delicious breakfast if you were to provide lunch and dinner we would definitely not have been able to explore the beautiful Torquay we would be too stuffed 😂 don’t change you are a great team working together to perfection to meet the needs and requirements of all who walk through your door.

The accommodation was immaculately presented, the hosts went out of their way to be helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for Pat and John. They provided many extra touches to the room including a fridge. There is also free parking on site in addition to on road. Very conveniently located particularly for walking or getting local bus nearby. Also a local music venue only 5 minutes walk away. Excellent value for money and the breakfast choices were fantastic. Thank you both very much.
