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.).

We really could not fault Villa Marina in any way. We were welcomed by Vince and Erwan and it felt like we were visiting friends. What great guys! Loads of tips and advice for our days out. Villa Marina is a gem. What a gorgeous house. So clean and the smell throughout was divine. Lots of personal touches which you don't find in your average hotel. Breakfast was great, loads of choice to suit every taste. The house is situated a few minutes walk from Torre Station and the walk onto the sea front is very pleasant. If you're looking for something a bit special, look no further than Villa Marina! Thanks Vince and Erwan.

United KingdomWe loved how welcoming the hosts were, they were warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble! They recommended some lovely places to see which made our holiday even better. The rooms had everything we needed and they were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, there were so many options to choose from! The best poached eggs we have ever eaten! The location was good, a short drive from many attractions and about a 10/15 minute walk from the seafront. We will definitely be returning next time we visit Torquay.

United KingdomRooms are rather compact which encourages you to get out and do sightseeing, exercising or shopping.
Our stay at Villa Marina was a superb experience, the best BnB we have had in our 35 years of travelling the world. The owners and hosts were brilliant, engaging and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was a delight and a highlight with plenty of choices for each serving. I would highly recommend this BnB to all potential guests staying in Torquay, value for money in wonderful facilities.

We were made to feel very welcome to this spectacular B&B by the lovely hosts. The room (Mallock) was fantastic. Beautifully decorated and very well appointed with everything we needed and more. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and all served with a smile and lots of tips on the best places to eat and visit during our stay from Vince & Erwan. We hope to return soon.

United KingdomThere’s not one thing to dislike!
DO NOT BOOK ANYWHERE ELSE! This place is amazing! It is a beautifully decorated Victorian house with character and comfort. The owners are so friendly and helpful - it’s like staying with family, without the disagreements! Breakfast is PERFECT! You can choose whatever you want and the quality, taste, presentation and service is second to none. It was also very reasonably priced. Cleanliness is exceptional and the owners have thought of every last thing possible to make your stay easy and comfortable. Wish we lived closer as we would go back in a heartbeat. 🤍

United KingdomHonestly nothing.
I had a wonderful stay here at Villa Marina and cannot recommend it enough. The location was great and the villa itself is so charming and full of character. My room was large and exceptionally clean, as is the rest of the building, and was fabulously decorated plus has all the amenities I could possibly need. The breakfast was delicious and always filled me up, while the hosts are so friendly, kind and helpful it really made for a superb stay. I will be coming back again.

United KingdomNothing to say here, we liked everything.
Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Vince and Erwan were fantastic hosts and we had everything we needed. Anything you don’t have they’ll do their best to get for you. We stayed in the Brunel room which is a compact room, but it has everything you need. Next time we stay, and we will stay again, we’ll go for one of the larger rooms. Thank you both so much for making us feel so welcome.
