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 KingdomEverything was absolutely super.
I was very well looked after and made very welcome by Caroline and Russell. Everything was of a extremely high standard. The breakfasts were excellent - lots of choice and all beautifully cooked. My room was comfortable, cosy, well-equipped and absolutely spotless. A lot of thought and care has been put into making the stay outstandingly comfortable and enjoyable - I especially appreciated the lovely treats in the mini-fridge! Location is very convenient for the seafront and visiting the local area, and is well-served by public transport - no 22 bus just 2 minutes walk away. Couldn't have asked for more! I highly recommend this venue - an absolute gem. Very much looking forward to staying here again.

United KingdomEverything was great.
I cannot recommend Gresham Court enough! My birthday fell on the late May bank holiday weekend and Caroline and Russell were even kind enough to give me a birthday card and chocolates! I was so touched. The room was really clean and cosy with so many wonderful amenities. Sleep mask, toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving kit, the list goes on. We really didn't need to pack any of our own toiletries. My husband and I loved the variety of breakfasts every day (particularly the vegetarian full English) and how warm and homey the place was. It's two minutes from the nearest bus stop which came in very handy when we went to Babbacombe, and a 10 minute walk to the city centre/marina/most restaurants and shops. Highly recommend Torquay for a proper English seaside break and highly recommend Gresham Court as its top accommodation choice. We can't wait to return.

United KingdomThe accommodation offered at Gresham Court is not the usual tired guest house room. Our room was of the highest standard and offered above and beyond what you would normally expect. The breakfast was delightful – well cooked, well presented and plentiful. The property is also located in easy reach of a good selection of restaurants. Will definitely return if we are in Torquay.

United KingdomHonestly, nothing could have been better. Well, maybe a vegan biscuit in the room instead of a dairy one but only if I had to find something to change!
The location was super, easy walk to the harbour and lots of restaurants and yet the area of the bnb seemed peaceful and quiet. The breakfast was superb and catered for us as vegans exceptionally. There were so many nice touches in the room too and they were generous with all the extras (drinks, toiletries etc). Everywhere was very clean, nicely finished and decorated. The bar room that the bnb has….just beautiful! So much to look at and beautiful 40’s inspired finishings and furnishings.

United KingdomWe booked this hotel as we were staying here only for the weekend . We were not expecting too much but were positively surprised to find this. it certainly competes with any 5* hotel we have stayed in. Very accommodating. It is spotlessly clean and well situated, the service from the hosts is outstanding, always on hand. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and plentiful with a great deal of choice on the menu to suit everyone. One of the nicest independent hotels in have been to. Great hosts and nothing was too much a trouble.
