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 KingdomGoing home. There's nothing to dislike about this hotel
Fabulous stay. We arrived late but this proved to be no issue at all. We were welcomed by the owner and shown our room. Breakfast was great with a good selection. The room was clean with onsuite and bed comfortable. There's a lounge area with a bar that's great to relax in with a glass of wine. Town centre is 15 minutes walk away with many places yo eat.

The location is perfect for a trip to the Isle of Wight, on site parking, a quiet location but most of all, we want to complement the owners for their wonderful hospitality! What you get at The Cliff Hall is a welcome and homely feel. It genuinely felt like we were staying at a friends home. The breakfast is a fantastic buffet where you can chose as much or as little as you want. The room we had was clean and comfortable, more than you need when you’re exploring the island! We could have sat in the garden all evening, enjoying the spectacular view of the sea and immaculate garden foliage! There is clearly a lot of love and attention in this space! Overall, we cannot recommend this wonderful hotel enough, a genuine warm welcome awaits you when you visit The Cliff Hall hotel!

A charming hotel, perfectly located on the Shanklin cliff top with stunning views. The rooms were just right for us and spotless. The friendly owners, Deborah and Brendan, couldn’t have been a lovelier couple, who were always there to help and cooked a scrumptious buffet breakfast.

Very welcoming and friendly hosts, from the time of booking Brendon called to confirm everything and gave us good offer on the ferry fare. Arrived at Cliff Hall to the most welcome by Debra. Best sea view and within walking distance to the beach. Very spacious bedroom, more than comfortable and enough beds for all 3 of us. Very good breakfast, same quality and standard every day. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the Isle of Wight and because of Brendan and Debra we will definitely be back.

Breakfasts were excellent, wide choice, tasty full English breakfasts and it was very well presented. Our hosts were great, really welcoming and friendly. They created a great atmosphere among the guests which made it a very relaxing stay

United KingdomWe couldn't find a room for the family of 4. 2 adults and 2 young kids. But maybe this was due to the last minute booking we made. A larger TV than what currently is there would definitely be much appreciated by kids.
The couple who owns the hotel are very nice. They made us feel welcome and also accommodated our request for a little bit late arrival than their usual check-in closing time. The hotel is within walking distance to the beach. The beach is nice and has multiple options for food and kid's entertainment areas.

United KingdomThe breakfast was really tasty, vegetable sausages were very small. Good allergy information available. The toilet seat was really old and looked manky. Room was clean, but outdated facilities. The two owners were really lovely. Younger staff seemed to be confused at breakfast but were still polite. I probably wouldn't stay again because of the toilet seat by but good value & comfortable for a few nights. I didn't like how they came and made the bed, felt that was an invasion of privacy.
