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 KingdomThe hosts were super welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was special. Not only did it offer delicious, fresh pastries, fruit, cheese but also a choice of full English, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and more. The best start of the day! The location was perfect, just a few minutes to the centre in a quieter location. The room was spacious and modern with great coffee, snacks and extra refreshments. We’d definitely come back to stay if we are in the area.

United KingdomFrom the moment we walked in our hosts were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The amenities in the room were so well thought out, you would not even get some of these in a 5* hotel. Breakfast was delightful - so many choices. The location was ideal with free parking over the weekends and lots of shops, bars, and restaurants within a few minutes walk. There is a lovely park just across the road and the seafront is a short walk away. Thanks Caroline and Russell, you guys are amazing - keep it up!

Modern, clean, stylish bedrooms. The attention to detail in the rooms and the surprise extras we received were brilliant and not expected. Rooms were cleaned with fresh towels and everything re-stocked daily. The breakfast was incredible… the hosts go above and beyond and you could have anything you possibly wanted from cooked breakfast to fruit and yoghurt. Wide range of drinks and snacks available too. It is right by all the lovely bars and restaurants so perfect location but not too close that noise is an issue. very clean and comfortable bedrooms. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming, would recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Torquay.

United KingdomSadly, no on site parking available at Gresham Court but plenty of free and pay on road parking in the immediate area. Not really an issue if you don't mind a short walk. We were parked on a free space 30 metres from the hotel entrance!
Booked a hotel to spend a night in Torquay to celebrate our wedding anniversary and certainly struck gold with Gresham Court! The room provided was spotlessly clean, light, bright, very well equipped and included more complimentary items than many higher priced 4 star hotels I've stayed in previously. Over and above the normal tea/coffee making facilities, items provided included towelling bath robes, slippers, sleep masks and a fridge containing water, fresh milk and wine! Caroline & Russell were fabulous welcoming hosts and certainly went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. The breakfast cooked by Russell was fabulous, really good quality ingredients well cooked and well presented. To top it all, there was an anniversary card and box of chocolates from Caroline & Russell for us on the breakfast table in the morning. Certainly had a great stay at Gresham Court, would happily recommend to anyone and will definitely stay there again in the summer for a night out in Torquay!
