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 property was beautiful and very close to the seafront and the centre of town. Michael and Alli were brilliant hosts and extremely kind and welcoming throughout our stay. And the breakfasts were absolutely delicious - the eggs were cooked perfectly every morning!

The breakfast was superb with lots of options, full English consistently good with great presentation and attention to detail provided by our hosts / owners Alison & Michael, poached eggs with avocado made to perfection as was the omelette. The coffee was plentiful & Hot chocolate a specialty.

United StatesI think to suggest there was anything we didn't like would be very harsh and picky! The stay was perfect and far exceeded our expectations. Lovely presented guest house, can't wait to visit again.
Alli and Michael were very welcoming. The room was perfect, lots of detail and we were short of nothing. The fridge stocked with refreshments was a welcome treat and more than fairly priced. The air conditioning was a godsend as it was very warm during our stay. Would highly recommend staying at Kingston House. Thank you for everything, New York Amy!

United KingdomMy only gripe was that the TV systems Netflix was linked to the room making it hard to be able to easily find where I was on my own Netflix in a program. Personally I would prefer a system that can cast directly from mobile to the TV.
The hosts were lovely. The room was very clean and well kept. Air con worked a treat. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. Honestly loved the place and would definitely recommend.

Can honestly say this was the best accommodation we have stayed in. Location cleanliness food owners price and OMG the breakfast was 5 Star. I've ran out of superlatives on how amazing our stay was. We definitely arrived as strangers and left as friends. It was my birthday the week we stayed and the owners Michael and Alison made me feel so special. We are definitely coming back

Excellent location as not too far from all the attractions. The B&B has excellent touches from the lovely complementary toiletries and chocolates on arrival to the bar and items you can purchase on a honesty basis. The hosts (Michael and Allison) were warm and welcoming and the breakfast was delicious, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

United KingdomAlli and Michael were extraordinarily good hosts. Friendly and welcoming, with a plethora of ideas and suggestions to maximise our trip to Torquay. Nothing was too much trouble. The property is quite rightly 5* rated tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean with an expansively comfortable bed, en-suite, air con and hand made truffles on the pillow. A superb team, Alli and Mike shone during breakfast service with a naturally gregarious style and sense of fun they ensured all the guests were catered for and looked after. The breakfast choices were extensive, tasty and beautifully cooked. An excellent boutique hotel which we look forward to visiting again. Thank you both for welcoming us and providing such a wonderful stay for us both.

Michael & Alli were the perfect hosts for our stay in Torquay. So welcoming with nothing too much trouble for them. The house decor was so tastefully done & spotlessly clean. We loved everything about Kingston House. The breakfast is highly recommended. Everything freshly prepared & served with a welcoming smile & interesting banter by Michael & Alli. We highly recommend you stay at Kingston House.

United KingdomWe stayed 3 nights at the lovely Kingston House and what a treat! Alli & Michael are the most friendly hosts and I can see why it has 5* ratings. Spotlessly clean, light and airy. Our room was lovely and had everything you could want, hairdryer, toiletries and a little chocolate treat left on the bed to name a few. Such a lovely comfy bed, which we needed after our long coastal walks! Great location with onsite parking, meaning we didn’t use our car at all until we left. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious (thank you Michael) and kept us going for the day. Special mention to Alli’s breakfast sundae, which I loved! You are a fab team! I would highly recommend staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you Alli & Michael xx

The hosts were welcoming, helpful & friendly. Our room & the public areas we used were tastefully decorated & spotlessly clean. A wonderfully comfortable bed & a peaceful nights sleep. Served a delicious breakfast, couldn’t have been better.
