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 KingdomI am usually very frank but on this occasion I cannot actually think of anything negative.
The location was walking distance to both Shanklin and Sandown. Particularly enjoyed going to the beach and the fish and chips at Bayside in Shanklin. The guesthouse is located on a very quite and peaceful street with good views of the sea from our room. The breakfast was enjoyable with generous portions and very exact as per request. The kids loved the games room. I do feel that the host made a good effort to make us feel welcome. All the other sites that we visited were 15 to 20 minutes by car, so as some-one travelling from London city where every journey takes ages, that was so convenient and relaxing for us. There was always parking available. Thoroughly enjoyed the break ! Would definitely visit the Isle of Wight again.

SingaporeRoom was smaller than expected and very hot in the evening due to west facing sun but at least there was a fan provided.
Location was good though we dint get to see much of Shanklin beach. Morning breakfast was good and filling. A lot of convenient beach things were provided for use.

United KingdomStayed here for two nights, last week. Beautiful guest house in a very quiet location, but near the beach and restaurants etc.Hosts were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. The room was lovely. Had everything you needed, including an small ironing board and iron. The property was very clean. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Would certainly stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

United KingdomThe shower could have been better as it was difficult to get the temperature right when others were using water. The room was a little on the warm side but not much can be done about that. The location meant most evenings we had to drive or have a long walk to find an evening meal although the guest house did allow takeaway deliveries etc.
The proprietors were very friendly and helpful with nothing too much trouble and the breakfasts were great. The bathroom was a good size and very clean. The bed was comfortable and we had a good nights sleep with very little to disturb us. The wifi worked very well.

We enjoyed our stay very much at Royson. The location was fabulous, quiet but close to the beach and cliff walk. Well connected with transportation. The breakfast was wonderful and facilities in the room were great as well. Checking in and out were both very smooth and Nigel was a friendly host. We'd be happy to stay here again when we next come for a visit to IOW!

Nigel and Sharon were great hosts - friendly and very thorough with everything at the facility. Breakfast was fresh and made to order. Free parking on the premises which was a big bonus. They have high chairs for babies which was so helpful and also a kids play section adjacent to the dining area which keeps little ones busy while we ate.
