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 KingdomOccasionally during the day, the shower room had an unpleasant drain like smell. It was pretty minimal though and taking into account the amazing location, price and other good points of the hotel it wouldn't really put me off - just close the door! I do know that the island has a problem in that department anyway because of over population.
Staff super helpful and plenty of tea and coffee making facilities in the room. My bed was super comfortable and had plug sockets nearby (something I hate at some hotels is no plug socket by the bedside) and also a wardrobe and dressing table. My room was small, but warm and clean and decently laid out and I had plenty of room for my work stuff without tripping over it. There is parking out the front and back of the hotel and if that's full you can park overnight on the esplanade where there are plenty of spaces. The wifi was good and fast without any issues. I didn't have breakfast, as I preferred to go and check out the town.

United KingdomUnderstandably because of the heat windows were left open allowing some winged insects into the room, probably mosquitoes which for reasons unknown is predominant in the Isle of Wight. Not any fault of the hotel though.
Very good value for money, situation is excellent, step out of reception and be greeted by the beach, lovely view. Staff were extremely happy to help. Parking was controlled with hotel issued parking permits which makes more space available for customers only. Would definitely be staying here again.

United KingdomGreat location on the beachfront and close to restaurants and shops. Friendly staff, ongoing improvements to the hotel. As there is no evening meal or lunch available, we found it helpful that you could bring a takeaway back to the hotel or sit on the seating outside overlooking the sea. Great for families, good value and close to all the attractions of Sandown. A good base for a weekend, we had two rooms. Family stay and the staff were helpful and friendly.
