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 KingdomBeing two floors up with narrow, steep stairs and no lift.
We were made very welcome on arrival, after their normal time though by agreement. Had a cup of tea provided and a sit down whilst hearing all about the hotel and facilities. Very spacious top-floor room with clean, modernised though small bathroom. Reliable efficient electric shower. Great freshly cooked full English+ breakfasts served with a smile and a chat.

United KingdomBreakfasts were very good with lots of choices and plentiful. Having downstairs spaces and the garden available was good and we made use of the reasonably priced honesty bar. Simon and Jonathan were exceptional hosts and made us feel very welcome. We will recommend to friends and return if on the Island again.

United KingdomThe only thing I would fault, and really, it can't be helped and everyone is different, is the bed. This doesn't take anything from the rating at all. For us it was a bit too soft and towards the edge it feels like you're going to fall out, but we got used to it. We still slept well. We just like a firmer bed.
The hosts are just so welcoming and attentive. Upon arrival they offered a drink and we sat outside having a chat and getting to know the area and hotel. We know the area really well. It was nice hearing their back story as well, added a personal touch. The room was lovely. Well decorated, spacious, with a nice bathroom. It had everything needed for the stay. The hotel itself has an honesty bar which is a nice touch and a lovely lounge with a beautiful leather L shaped sofa. It was so comfortable that we spent one nice on it chilling and doing some work. The bar prices are fair with a nice selection. Breakfast, just wow. I don't think I've personally ever had a better breakfast. Premium bacon and sausages with the most incredible scrambled egg. You'd be a fool not to try it. Unlike a lot of full English breakfasts, this one wasn't greasy or fatty. It was perfect. Location is perfect. A bus stop is about 2 minutes away, less than 5 to the train station, about 7 to the bus station, 5 to the cliff tops/beach, 7 to the town, and 10-15 to old Shanklin. I really can't complain about the location. As a couple that don't drive, it was perfect. Overall, it was the perfect stay. We'll definitely come back, even just for breakfast if they offered it!

United KingdomWe were more than happy with our stay at the Avenue.
The location is in a quiet road, no sea views but only a short walk to the seafront. The hosts Simon and Jonathan are brilliant, able to give so much information, very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely, good choice and plenty of it, fresh fruit every morning and any variation of an English breakfast you wanted, a great start to the day.
