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 the pool was clean the general area needs attention ie changing rooms,games room,paintwork etc just looks tired and in need of upkeep. At night there was an annoying sound like click click every so often,could not locate source of noise,mentioned to member of staff so hopefully when i go back it will have been sorted.
Firstly the staff were all so welcoming and helpful,especially Nicky and Claire who was very knowledgeable about the island,of things to do and see. The breakfast was amazing,if you don't want to stop to eat for the rest of the day try the Jurassic breakfast. Pool was clean,jacuzzi was lovely and warm. Beach just a 2 minute walk. Bedroom was great,bed was probably one of the best i've ever slept in. Happy Dayz lol.

United KingdomBreakfast was excellent. Staff were attentive and we did not have to wait very long to be served. Pool was very good and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves on both of the occasions that we went for a swim. The staff at reception, the dining room and the bar were also very good.

United KingdomInitial directions on booking receipt need amending slightly - suspect it is a translation error! WC/shower area was fine for us but I guess could be problematic for bigger persons or disabled.
Excellent choices for breakfast and plenty of it. Lovely pool - used most days but didn't bother with the sauna Comfortable room - nice to see two chairs in a twin room - such a rarity! Also hot chocolate sachets amongst the tea & coffee - great! Very helpful and friendly staff

United KingdomNeeds modernising and could be cleaner. For the money spent, I was very underwhelmed. The pool was ok but needs to be cleaned especially the pool just above the water line. Smoking only permitted in the car park which didn’t make sense to me with there being a large outdoor space accessible from many rooms. Breakfast was a reasonable size but avoid the tomatoes and black pudding. I’m not sure I’ll be back unless it’s at a much reduced price
Easy to find and reasonable location

United KingdomDue to being an older building people staying in rooms above woke us early when they were up and walking around banging and noisy floorboards. Rooms were on the small side and the mattresses were not comfortable.
Amazing pool and the location was good. The hotel staff were very welcoming and very friendly

United KingdomThe walls are very thin! Thankfully I use ear plugs at night. Some more sun loungers would be helpful for the sunny day, 4 wasn’t enough.
Loved the swimming pool, loved the steam room and hot tub. Staff are so friendly. Great breakfast. Location is fantastic, so close to the beach. Sandown always gets better weather than places like Yarmouth and Cowes. High street is very close for shops and restaurants/pubs on the doorstep. Washing line in the garden was very useful. Garden was great for my dog to run around when not on the beach. My last night coincided with the annual Carnival, wonderful occasion and only 5mins down the road.
