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...).

Everything was perfect. Lovely room, wonderful breakfast and a great location. The cafe menu was a bonus as the pubs and restaurants get very busy during school holidays and when there are performances at the theatre.

United KingdomNothing. Everything was perfect for me.
This lovely hotel is in a great location overlooking the sea at the older end of shanklin village. It’s really well kept with everything I needed in the spotless room. It’s an easy walk into Shanklin, where there’s a nice Italian restaurant and a few good pubs. Breakfast was good and staff friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here before and hope to stay here again before too long.

United KingdomThe only tiny thing that was a bit annoying was the WiFi. You had to sign in every time your phone locked
Breakfast was amazing, the room was cosy but I wouldn’t call it small. It was very clean and comfortable and I loved the little touches of bottled water, hot chocolate and biscuits. The small bar was also really cute and well stocked. Great location too with easy walks to the beach.

United KingdomAs far as the hotel and staff were concerned, they were excellent, there was nothing we didn't like. We have already booked again for next year.
The breakfast choice was excellent and the hot food was cooked perfectly, not overcooked or dried out as at some hotel establishments. The room was spacious and clean with good ventilation in what was the hottest week of the year. The range of restaurants were only a short five minute walk away for the evenings if you didn't want to eat in, but it is necessary to book in advance.

United KingdomNothing we disliked.
Location and surroundings are excellent - easy walk to village and beach (with options for test of knees and stamina if you wish!) Peace and quiet with very comfortable beds and lounge areas. Garden is excellently designed and maintained. We had a balcony room and the view on a sunny morning was spectacular. The staff are all friendly and helpful without being suffocating. The hotel is not cheap, but if you value having a peaceful and pleasant retreat with lovely views this is it!
