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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe room was very small and very dated, the lighting was really poor, the beds were really firm (But I am used to a memory foam mattress) these are just the picky bits, to be honest I thought for the price we paid I the hotel sufficed it was clean, just needed a over hall and some updating and perhaps new mattresses'. One word of advice, you have to book everywhere if you want to eat out, you cannot just turn up at the pubs in the town as you will not get a table.
The staff are exceptional, they are all really friendly and helpful, breakfast was excellent and the waiters always chatted and made jokes, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and they made us feel really welcome, the pool looked clean and we did see people using it but as I didn't use it myself I cant really comment. The hotel was only a 10 min walk to the little town where there were some lovely pubs and cafes.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little tired in places but on the whole clean. There were a number of cobwebs in my room and the drapes over the bed were a bit dusty but that’s me being picky. I’m sure they wouldn’t have bothered some people. The shower head needs replacing or descaling, water came out at a good force but I don’t think any of it actually went straight down. Sprayed off in all angles. And the tv was a bit small but we weren’t there to watch Tv.
The location of the hotel is great for Shanklin, it’s an easy downhill 10 minute walk to local restaurants and a further 5 minutes to the seafront. The hotel is also in a great location to reach the coastal path. The staff are fantastic and do all they can to fulfill your requests and give you a great experience. The breakfast was lovely and you have so much choice. We only had dinner once in the hotel and my husband really enjoyed his pie!

United KingdomWe were advised of a wedding the wkend we stayed & there would be no restaurant on the Saturday, only to be told on arrival the restaurant was also closed the Friday evening & Sunday evening! Breakfast however was plentiful & very gd. Music didn’t end at 11.30 as informed, but went on until midnight at full noise level. Also our room was above the function room?? Being non wedding guests it would’ve made sense to put us away from the function, not on top of it? They view from the room was the hotel roof. The hotel itself is very dated & in need of extreme updating. Because it’s a Manor it can still be tasteful. Very tired, marked furniture in our room. The cleanliness of the room was acceptable but the rest of the hotel was a shocker in truth. I didn’t think they possessed a hoover until I did see 1 on the morning of leaving! I feel the hotel was understaffed but still trying to run fully booked. Pool areas are again in need of updating & major cleaning overall. We enjoyed our time there but sadly wouldn’t recommend or return. There are much nicer places very near by!
Staff were very friendly & professional. Position wasn’t too far from old village if you’re fit & able. Fab shower.
