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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There was nothing I didn’t like.
The owners were warm and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was very clean and a short walking distance to Shanklin centre, but there are bus stops right by the hotel if walking isn’t your thing. Excellent breakfast with lots of choices. Beautiful garden to sit in.

coming home
Our party of four arrived at this lovely hotel mid afternoon with the offer of a refreshing cuppa in the lounge while our bags were taken to our room, this was nice as we are all in our autumn years. Our first impressions were that the place was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated and our opinions didn’t change. The breakfast menu is huge, from fruit and cereals to full English and beyond. All of it served at our table and delicious. Our hosts could not do enough for us and we can’t recommend Foxhills of Shanklin highly enough

The owners have obviously put a great deal of thought into how the organise things, and I do not consider there is anything that could be done better.
We were most impressed with the friendliness of the 4 who run the hotel who went out of the way to make us feel welcome. The location was ideal for us to drive to all parts of the Island. Breakfast was of high quality and variety and excellently organised.

Wonderful hospitality and fantastic 'homemade' choices for breakfast. Really appreciated the special efforts made for one of our parties birthday breakfast - music and bucks fizz and decorated table. Fabulous outdoors with ample garden furniture for relaxing and a drink. A very short walk into the heartland of Shanklin.

Although we had a dressing room separate from the bedroom, the bathroom facilities attached to it would benefit from modernisation. But that said, everything was functional, clean and perhaps arguably in keeping with the style of this lovely large Victorian house.
The family team were so welcoming and accommodating to our needs and very much lived up to their motto ‘this is our home, treat it like your own’. The garden is a real asset and being able to park off street was a bonus. Absolutely wonderful breakfasts and service. Highly rated and recommended.
