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 KingdomNothing except it mentioned a tumble dryer and I couldn’t find one. Also it should be mentioned that there are steep steps to get to the flat and also the property is at the top of a steep hill too so if you have difficulties with walking and steps this may not be the place for you.
This property was stunning. Everything we needed and more. The place was spotlessly clean. Excellent communication by the hosts too.

United KingdomNot a major thing, but the driveway is a tad tight to get into! It would be good to know about alternative parking for larger vehicles. We have a LWB VW transporter which is a bit of a chunky thing! I felt bad about taking up so much parking space on the drive even though it was tucked in as much as possible. This is in no part a reflection on the hosts as they weren't aware of our vehicle. Reversing in was best, breathing in as you skim past the gate posts doesn't make the van any smaller!
The property is in a great location and we loved the welcome pack provided by the hosts. The place was light and airy and perfect for a little family getaway. It's nice to be able to have some space to sit and enjoy a meal together too. The booklet with leaflets was great.

United KingdomDoor knobs that turn Inward rather than out and there is not enough space to turn so make it very difficult to open the doors, the dining chairs are wobbly my mum wouldn't sit on it .
Spacious bedrooms, cleanliness, very convenient to the shop and the seafront, but it is a bit tiring walking back up.

United KingdomWhile the location is handy it is up a few very steep hills which may be difficult for some people. I found the bed in the room with ensuite was too soft but that's just personal preference! We had a few days of good weather before a few days of wind and rain but every evening and morning were very chilly. Its cold for this time of year, My parents are older and complained of being cold all night, turns out the heating was set to half 7 in the morning and half 5 in the evening for just an hour each time which didn't do much so we had to re set it to be more comfortable. I booked for 5 adults and 2 children, we're all siblings with our own kids and our parents. Stated 5 beds but there were 2 doubles and 2 singles so assumed a sofa bed but none of the sofas turn into a bed and no extra bedding so my 6 ft 4 brother had to sleep on the sofa as it was all week. The bigger sofa is facing away from the TV, would make more sense to swap. The neighbours upstairs are noisy, watch TV until after midnight loudly then again from half 4 in the morning. When upstairs have a bath/ shower the water pours down to outside the front of this apartment and runs along the steps so perhaps plumbing problems. Not the hosts fault but something that could effect this property.
Beautifully presented and stunningly clean apartment. It's also very spacious, the photos don't do it justice. Having 2 bathrooms for a large group was a bonus. It's a short walk to the beach/ town and beds are mostly comfortable.

Australiathis property was beautifully presented and a fabulous size for our 4 adult family. It was lovely and quiet but still very close to everything we needed to have an awesome stay. Having free on-site car parking was amazing too and i really appreciate not having to climb any stairs in order to access the spaces!

United KingdomNot an issue with the accommodation but Entrance to property could be a tight squeeze for any bad driver. but was manageable (just) for my Large Saloon Car, which grounded out on the dip from drive to road when carrying 4 occupants. This being in no way a complaint but an observation, on the Victorian buildings original construction & in no way owners fault. I advise drive either "very" slowly or have passengers get out before driving out/in.
What a Lucky find. will certainly be placing it on a return visit list. Easy to find & access. a bracing walk to Seafront & Harbour. ample parking along seafront for evening return visit to Eat & Drink. Swift direct access to drive along to Paignton & also Brixham. Accommodation far better than advert implies & extremely spacious. All facilities adequate & functional. Fast WiFi & good lighting, esp as this being a Basement apartment. Delightful Garden area to take in the Air & if so inclined to have a smoke & Drink.
