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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI think they could have offered more toiletries like tooth brush, tooth paste and lotion. The room is also not very sound proof so you can hear the live music or people talking in the corrodor.
We like the location where it's very close to the beach and bus stops. I also like the bar area where there is facilities like pool table and live music. The room includes a hairdryer, towels, and have a decent view.

United KingdomThere was no air conditioning, and the windows didn't open much. There was a plug-in fan in the room, but as we visited in July, it was still pretty hot.
Very close to beach. Ocean view room had great view as no taller buildings around. The pool was a decent size and open 7am-9pm. You had to go in two minimum as they 'don't have a lifeguard', though the pool was only about 5 foot high max. They did say we could use the pool after check out, so that was a bonus. There was entertainment and bingo in the evening, but we did not attend these.

United KingdomThe room we had wasn't that good. Some of the lights were not working, one window wouldn't close properly. The bathroom was very basic especially the shower. The bath was horrible, needs replacing, very gritty. No blind in the bathroom and although there was obscured glass ,passers by can see in. I would say, though, that the reception staff changed the room immediately when we reported this. Its a really nice hotel, even though parts of it need a bit of a refurbishment. We had great service and a great time and would definitely return., but definitely not to room 120.
It was lovely having a pool. All of the staff in this hotel are very friendly and work hard. Its kept very clean and the food in the restaurant is to a reasonable standard.

United KingdomMattress was very hard or thin, could feel a solid board every time i turned over, was stiff in the morning. Breakfast was cooked but not great, my wifes "ham and a selection of cheese" turned out to be wafer thin ham and shredded chedder and red leicester. I asked if it was possible to have a GF breakfast, i was told there was but it turned out to be the regular small breakfast but without the sausage or hashed browns.
The room and shower were great, sadly didnt get time to use thr pool, really nice lounge and dining room

United KingdomWe had a problem with the shower in our room which didn't work properly, and nearly scalded my partner. The staff couldn't resolve the issue on the night as their was no maintenance staff around at that point but they were quick to provide us with another room key. We didn't move into the room as we were only staying the one night and had already unpacked but it meant we at least had access to a functioning shower.
It was a spacious hotel, the room had all your necessary amenities. It was fantastic that the hotel had a pool, for the most part we had it to ourselves. The view from the dining room at breakfast is fantastic, almost panoramic views of the bay. In my opinion it was a shame that they have such heavy curtains up (they have blinds as well) it would really make the most of the amazing view they have in their breakfast room if the curtains were removed. The hotel is a great location to visit Shanklin Chine which is very beautifully lit up at night!

United KingdomBathroom had a strong smell of urine, cups in the rooms were made of plastic and weren't properly cleaned. The room was quite dated, so is the rest of the hotel.
The staff was amazing, incredible how well Alex at reception accommodates customer requests and how well they treat each other. Bed was comfy and food was decent for the price, again staff in the hotel restaurant are super stars, they all deserve a raise! Heated swimming pool is always a plus. There's a bar with decent choices, pool and foosball table and live music at night. There's a locked shed for safe storage of bicycles overnight
