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 KingdomWe had a wonderful stay here. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and always happy to help. The location was perfect, just a short (if hilly) walk to the beach, and the view of the sunrise from the patio was absolutely breathtaking. There are plenty of stairs, which gave us a bit of a workout, though it was good to know there were step free access options available too. Parking could be a little tricky when the coaches were back, but overall it wasn’t too much of an issue. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing stay, we’d happily return!

United KingdomThe reception staff were very friendly, helpful and went beyond expectations to make my stay welcoming and comfortable. The breakfast menu is has a variety of food and drink options to suit most dietary requirements and I really enjoyed everything I was served. The swimming pool was clean, heated and the shower there was superb. The location was a short walk to Shanklin Beach and depending on your room you will get a good sea view. Transport links are great with a direct £5.90 train from Ryde Ferry Port to Shanklin station which is a 10 minute walk to the hotel. Bus links are an easy way to explore the whole Island and stop at the majority of the tourist attractions. The buses have a 24 hour unlimited travel ticket that costs just over £10.

United KingdomThe pool changing rooms need a revamp.
The staff were all very friendly, making a real effort to connect with their guests. We loved the evening entertainment and the swimming pool. The location was great with easy access to Shanklin beach and activities. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious, laid out well for a couple with a child. Our five year old grandson loved the hotel and is looking forward to returning next year!

United KingdomBreakfast area has nice window seating that was always reserved for coach tours and so the occupants of the property were told to sit elsewhere which meant that the window views could never be enjoyed no matter what time you arrive for breakfast..

United KingdomNo evening meal available in the hotel, although it states that it does on their website. Every night we had to walk to elsewhere for dinner. After a long day, (and it got quite cold out in the evening) with a young child, that was not always nice. The alternative was to pay extra for delivery costs and order takeaway. Was told they do evening meals when there’s coach trips but the hotel was full, so I didn’t understand why they couldn’t offer something.
We liked that it was so close to the beach and the hotel pool was lovely. The beds were also comfortable. & the breakfast room staff were very friendly.
