Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomAlthough there was a communal fridge on the landing we would of preferred a personal fridge in our room with fresh milk not UHT.
Fantastic hosts, very welcoming and friendly. We loved the hotel and room which was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with a great choice. We only stayed for 2 nights but felt that we had made two new friends with the owners as they were such lovely people.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
Court Prior is absolutely fabulous, and the thing that makes is so good is the owners, Pauline and Anthony, who have created and maintained the most beautiful B & B you can imagine. As soon as we pulled up in the drive both Pauline and Anthony came out to greet us and nothing was too much trouble during our stay. The house has been beautifully restored to it's Victorian spendour and was immaculately clean throughout. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated and a really good size ........ And when it comes to the breakfast ..... well, what can I say ....fantastic! You will be able to find cheaper B & Bs in Torquay, but I very much doubt if you will find a better one, OR such good value for money. Pauline & Anthony's hosting is incredible, and although I know that it is far from it ......... they make it look effortless! If you are looking to stay in Torquay, I would recommend that you look no further than Court Prior!

EVERYTHING, from Pauline & Anthony (the nicest people you will ever meet, felt like I'd known them my whole life) to the garden, it was perfect! The whole place is spotless and I mean SPOTLESS! The beds are so comfortable and the breakfast is to die for! It made an emotional weekend special for us as a family, didn't want to leave, will definitely be back for a longer stay as the weekend just was not enough! Thank you Pauline & Anthony, you are literally the BEST! 🥰

United States of AmericaThe only niggle was the location at the top of a steep hill, it was a bit of a chore for our old bones to get up there after going down into the town.
Lovely Victorian property, tastefully updated. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. Hosts Pauline and Anthony were gracious, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was exceptional, fresh food, beautifully prepared, tasty, and plenty of it. Would stay here again if we return to Torquay.

United KingdomIt was quite a way up. It's all hills in Torquay though. The walk is very picturesque on the way down and only £5 f0r a taxi on the way back.
The court prior is lovely. So clean and the hosts are so welcoming. Breakfast was perfect and Pauline made Greek yogurt compots with fresh bramley apples from her friends apple trees in the Cotswold they were delicious 😋. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic, well equipped apartment. It was very hot weather but the thick walls kept the apartment cool. Lots of provisions supplied by the owners. The private terrace was a bonus. The parking was easy and on site. The owners Pauline and Anthony met us on arrival and were very helpful. They were very easy to talk to. It was as if we knew them for ages.
