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 weather! It was blowing a gale and poured down with rain, non stop, for all but one of our days ! Of course they couldn't help that, but having a lovely room to chill out in meant we had a great time :)
Our second visit because it's so nice, comfortable, friendly, spacious, excellent view from the balcony.

United KingdomThe coastal waters Hotel was amazing value for money. The hotel was cleaned throughout, and the owner was amazing. I highly recommend staying here again when I visit torquay. My partner is fussy with Hotel, and he said he would stay again. The hotel was so quiet while we were staying here. The owner helped us make sure we found parking for our stay. He always greeted us by our names and always said morning to us. Highly recommended this hotel to anyone who is visiting torquay on hoilday or weekend away.

United KingdomThere's nothing we didn't like and I can genuinely say that not once did the four of us chat about 'what could be better'. My wife and I did however chat about our previous week's stay in Birmingham and how the difference was like like chalk and cheese !
We liked everything about our stay. Raj and his wife were exceptionally accommodating with all my requests, our visit was a special birthday surprise for my wife, it threw up a few difficulties with her not having to know her sister was arriving too. Friendliness costs nothing and we received that in bucketfuls. Our rooms were way better than expected, super clean and spacious. We had the super king room which has a nice balcony, you can, if needed, smoke out there, an ashtray's provided. The bed was very comfortable, the first time I've slept a whole night and not woken up. It doesn't say much about our own bed ! We decided to use the large, quiet car park to the rear of the Hotel, no great hassle at all and to make it even better we were given free car park passes to display for the duration. We didn't have breakfast but the room is very nicely laid out and airy. We didn't explore much so we'll be returning early next year :)

United KingdomWe received a lovely warm welcome from the owner Raj, who took our bags to our room and gave us a permit for free parking nearby, which we were delighted with. We immediately made the brief walk to the harbour and began our short break. There are many cafes restaurants and bars very nearby and we chose to book a table for that evening at Amici, which proved to be an excellent Italian restaurant. Our room was spacious and attractive with a super king size bed, which was very comfortable; we also had a balcony where I sat for an early morning cuppa each day. The shower room was immaculately clean with lovely soft white towels. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice in cereals, toast, and drinks and a freshly cooked full English breakfast, with perfectly poached eggs. We stayed two nights and wished we had booked a longer stay as Raj and his wife show such attention to detail and work hard to provide everything for the comfort of their guests.
