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 KingdomThere was only one thing and that was having to reverse the car onto the parking area from the main rd and then to get back onto the main rd when going out.
An exceptional B&B.The bedroom was at the back of the property overlooking the garden which is one of the best and well kept gardens I have seen in a long time.The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was clean and spacious.The continental breakfast was excellent withh different changes every day.John and Ginny were lovely people and nothing was too much trouble.We will definitely stay there again when we go back to the Isle of Wight.

United KingdomAmazing B&B. Stunning house in a great location in Shanklin village. It had a feel of a boutique hotel more than a guest house. Kept spotlessly clean by the owners. Little added extras of lovely soaps & sweet smelling diffuser in the room was appreciated. The continental breakfast was delicious with different fresh fruit /yoghurt each day. An absolutely beautiful garden at the back. Wow a mini Shanklin Chine. Definitely a lovely place to stay

United KingdomLeaving to go home.
Ginny made a very lovely continental breakfast which we prefer. We stayed for 2 nights and both mornings we had something different. John and Ginny left us to enjoy our stay but was around if needed. They were the perfect hosts. The character of the building was truly something else, I could have lived there. We had a room with garden view and was a lovely site when we woke up.

United KingdomThere wasnt anything that we didnt like
The location of the property is great, just a two minute walk to restaurants. Continental breakfast was lovely, different choice daily. Our room was beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom had a lovely big shower and there were tea, coffee, water and biscuits on arrival. We really couldnt fault this property and the owners made their home feel so welcoming to us and we enjoyed our morning chats with them.

United KingdomLoved everything but it’s been said before.. reverse in to the parking spaces !
Just returned from a 4 night stay at this lovely house. Our room was spotlessly clean and overlooked a fabulous garden. Breakfast was a continental buffet that changed every day. There were plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance though book in advance as they get busy even off season. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

United KingdomLovely continental breakfast but if you want a cooked breakfast the copper kettle cafe is a good alternative.
Beautiful room, very tastefully decorated with a lovely view of the garden. Our hosts John and Ginny were friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to be accommodating. The location was very close to Shanklin village and all its amenities but was very quiet. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

The location in Shanklin is perfect for the village and the amazing back garden is idyllic. The hosts John and Ginny do everything possible to make you feel at home. Breakfast is of a very high standard with a different variety of items every day. Our room was large and spacious with a vast amount of wardrobe and cupboard space. It also overlooked the garden which is spectacular from on high.
