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...).

NetherlandsMy partner and i were here last month and although i am not in the habit of giving hotels a 5 star rating, i can not do anything else but that. Okay, if you have to seek something negative then you are bound to find something (like any other hotel) but what makes a hotel worth while are not the stones and furniture but the owners and their hospitality. And this is something in which they excel. Highly recommended!

United Kingdomfrankly....there was nothing we didn't like but being keen gardeners, some pots of colour on the path from the rear carpark to the side entrance may have helped those departing for home not feel so sad to be checking out.
Perfect central location in the old town. Immaculately clean and definitely very "homely". Warm friendly welcome from the hosts. Great breakfast. A perfect environment to relax in and a perfect base for exploring the amazing island.

United KingdomI found the bed a little too soft but maybe that's me and I would have liked a little more variety for breakfast such as fruit, fresh or tinned. they have grapefruit which is fine but if you take statins you cannot eat so maybe prunes or tinned fruit would have been an alternative.
Claire and Bos are friendly hosts with a very warm welcome which continued throughout our stay. very helpful when I requested a lighter duvet, everywhere was lovely and clean with an enjoyable breakfast.

United KingdomIf there was anything to complain about I would, but there isn't. As a none to confident driver, I found the drive way narrow and parking difficult, but much larger cars than ours managed to negotiated the drive way and parking spaces.
The room was very clean and tidy and all the usual accessories were available. The breakfast was varied and tasty and a traditional choice was available. The location was great for doing things in and around Shanklin.

United KingdomA well ran, friendly and clean place in a perfect location! Just han an excellent 4 night stay at the Braemar. The owners were more than helpful and keen to see that their guests get the most from their stay, offering good advice and a cracking breakfast too! The location was perfect too in a quiet street off the main road but still close to good pubs and restaurants and not too far from the beach either
