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 2 parking fines we occurred while unloading the car. We never stayed at the hotel car park, but was told we could unload the car in car park to take luggage up stairs to our room. When your on the second floor and have to make a couple trips, we would really appreciate a little time to do so. Each fine was £100 so £200 in the total. Not happy at all as we have never experienced this at the hotel before. Hopefully the fine are nearly sorted by staff but had to keep posting letter to hotel due to their email not working properly after phoning 5/6 time and given a different email every time. Apart from this we had a lovely 5 day family stay.
Brilliant stay as always, opposite the beach and close to all the amenities. Breakfast is lovely in the morning with a good selection. Room is bright and airy with lovely see views. It’s the 6th time we have stayed. Staff are welcoming and lovely too.

United KingdomThe box before!!
SHOULD OF WROTE THIS IN NEXT BOX ....The only thing that I didn't think was a good idea was having to request if you wanted a fried or poached egg if you didn't want the scrambled egg provided with the rest.By the time my daughter had her poached egg which was a long time her cooked breakfast was finished.I asked for mine before I got my hot breakfast and still had to wait ages for it to come.Apart from that everything was excellent.Lovely friendly staff as well made all the difference to our stay.

United KingdomWe had a Privilege room which was spacious, the bed and TV were huge, and the views were wonderful. The location was excellent. Paignton seems to have been regenerated, so I thought I would stay here instead of Torquay. So glad I did. The staff were very accommodating. Wonderful supervisor in the restaurant (who was doing her Masters in forensic criminology) gave us tips on things to do locally. Fabulous stay, will definitely return.

United KingdomCame back one day after 4 hours out and about and the room had not been serviced. It was done eventually to a good standard. The next few days I just asked for the room to be serviced by a certain time and it was. I would suggest when a complaint is made that you don't try and explain the reason for the problem. Just apologize and get it sorted.
Lovely modern hotel right on the seafront. Good for exploring the area. Good breakfast and dinner. Modern bathroom with shower and good quality toiletries.

United KingdomBreakfast was a buffet style we arrived at 6:30 staff not fully prepared and the food was cold. Also found the bar area strange, they had an under age young man on duty who was not able to serve alcohol. Ever time you ordered a drink he had to go and fetch another member of staff!
Modern, clean and great location.

United KingdomParking is expensive at £15 for every 24hours, breakfast is rather expensive at £18 per person as much less available than some other places such as premier inn breakfasts. Ordered fried eggs as only scrambled on buffet cart but took 25 minutes to arrive. I think they are struggling to obtain and maintain staff sadly which is common in hospitality these days. Also I don’t agree with this 10% service charge added automatically to everything you order. I feel if you want to tip then it should be down to you and not added automatically. If you choose the half board option as we did you are allocated a £30 per person allowance for dinner, if you are not aware of the 10% service charge you order thinking you are staying within your budget but end up owing money which is then charged to your room. This is unacceptable in my eyes.
Lovely hotel immaculately clean lovely staff, food is great. Very modern. Restaurant manager is lovely and tries to sort out any issues quickly and professionally.
