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 use a weighted review system which means that 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. Everything was perfect.
I loved everything, from the moment of booking, until we left. My 8-year-old daughter and I were met with a warm welcome by Lisa. My daughter is really anxious and barely talks to strangers. Lisa had her speaking in French in as little as 3 minutes. Honestly, Lisa is so welcoming it just puts you at ease that fast. We were shown to our room, it was beautiful 😍 and clean. All the amenities and more. We gave Lisa our preferred time for breakfast for the next morning, we messaged our choices over later on that day. After a wonderful, peaceful, and cosy nights sleep, we headed down for breakfast. Beautiful breakfast room with a selection of cereals and juices. Lisa greeted us both. That's what really stood out to me. Lisa remembered my daughters name and engaged in conversation with her. This is the main reason I'm writing this review. I watched Lisa engage with everyone in the room, both adult and child, so welcoming and genuine. It was really lovely 😍 to see. Our breakfasts on both mornings were fantastic. We had the cooked breakfast the first morning, and pastries on the second. The cooked breakfast is filling and hot. Cooked to perfection 👌. The pastries were lovely and went down a treat with my little Miss. The entire break away was made so much better by staying here and not in a generic hotel. I can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be returning next summer. Maddi might even have some new French words to share. Thank you so much for having us. Kelé and Maddi xxx

United KingdomThat I had to leave 😪
Lisa and Christophe are the loveliest hosts, so welcoming and accommodating, I felt like part of the family. The Charterhouse itself is wonderful with a pool and extensive gardens and is set back from the main road so you are not bothered by traffic. It is perfect for rest and relaxation. The beach is a short walk away, or there is a beautiful walk through the water meadows leading to tea rooms and a pub. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend and cannot wait to visit again.

SwitzerlandThe only thing we weren‘t aware was that the Kitchen was opposite to our room. So when we arrived we had all that Bacon Scent in the Room and we were scared, that we‘ll wake up at 7am from sizzling Bacon Smell… Happy it wasn‘t that way - the other thing that bothered me was that Digital Registration. In every Accommodation we booked so far we never had to do so.
The heartwarming welcome by Lisa and where the Location was situated was nice! So now we know some things we can ask for another time for more Details

Lisa was so friendly from first communication right through to the end of our stay. It is in a fabulous location, perfect if driving or travelling by train. My daughter and I felt very safe and cared for. Excellent breakfast and beautifully presented rooms. Homemade jams and locally sourced ingredients made a very special touch. I'd recommend the Peach and Vanilla and Raspberry jams😍

United KingdomNot a complaint, just personal preference, we would have preferred a bigger TV in the room. There is a larger TV available in the communal lounge area, but after a busy day, we just wanted to chill in our room. Also, staying in the family room, it would have been handy if the connecting room had a TV.
Location for us was perfect! Lovely and quiet for the evening but within a 20 min walk of the centre for during the day. The room was nicely decorated, clean and the fridge came in very handy as it allowed us to store some drinks and snacks to take out on day trips. Couldn’t fault the owners. Lisa was welcoming when we arrived and made sure we were well looked after at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was great. The property does sit on a hill so some may find the driveway difficult. To get around this, there are steps through the garden and I’m sure the owners would happily assist with bags should anyone need help from the lower car park. Would definitely recommend and if we ever returned I’d happily rebook.

United KingdomNothing.
Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was excellent and the hosts were lovely. We had a small fridge in the room which was an added bonus. The location was on the outskirts of Torquay town centre but only a leisurely 20 minute walk to the main strip. The buses ran every 10 minutes and the stop was a couple of minutes from the hotel so we didn't use our car at all. You could travel off peak for £3 so we went to Brixham, Paignton and Teignmouth during our stay.
