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 fact we only booked for 2 nights, everything else was perfect.
The hotel Hosts John & Jane were so welcoming and friendly throughout our stay, using our names at breakfast to giving advice about the area. Our expectations of the room were not only met but went beyond our request. The breakfast was not just served professionally but lots of it and all freshly prepared. It seemed both John & Jane would do anything to make the stay relaxing and enjoyable. We will be looking to book direct for a return visit in May/June 2025 and look forward to staying at this fabulous Hotel once again.

United KingdomSome rooms including ours only have bathtubs without the option of a shower. However, other rooms do have the availability of a shower so make sure you choose your room wisely if this bothers you. Due to the grade listing of the building (very old) the owners do not have much freedom in terms of construction etc so they do not have double glazing and the nights can get cold, but they do supply you with little plug in heaters to combat this.
After going to many hotels throughout the week on our road trip, we were instantly satisfied with the big driveway to park on. As we approached the front door, the owner (John) greeted us and showed us in - already knowing our names from the bookings. Whilst checking in we got into a big conversation about the best places to go/see locally which we found incredibly useful as we have never visited Torquay before. Once we checked in we head into our room and it was incredibly clean/nicely laid out/great toiletries and confectionaries, also included a booklet which laid out previous visitors reviews of the local restaurants/bars - once again really useful ! After unpacking we head down to the in-house bar and ordered ourselves a couple of drinks to take out into the beautiful garden. The sleep was incredibly easy in such a comfortable bed and quiet environment. In the morning we head downstairs into the dining area and had breakfast - completely fresh ingredients with options for both veggie and non veggie. Was by far the best breakfast I've ever had at any form of hotel establishment. After breakfast, the owners John and his wife Jane were more than happy to have a long chat with us and make us feel more than welcome
