Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe would suggest the entrance to the parking bay is approached from the seafront coming up the road as apposed to going down the road, especially when the roads are wet, this was a 'little challenging' owing to what appears to be permanently 'stored and covered' van/vehicle partially blocking the entrance. Road closures at both ends of Ventnor (at the time of our visit) made navigating to approach from the seafront tricky.
The apartment exceeded our expectations, all amenities we required were provided within the property, and location provided all of our needs in close proximity. We hope to return to stay at the property when we visit family close by again in future.

United KingdomLack of blackout blinds or curtains in the bedrooms meant it was very bright in the morning and no curtains or blinds on the main living room windows felt a bit odd. There was also very limited storage, even for two, so four would really struggle. Ventnor is very limited for eating out.
The location is perfect, with a really great sea view and balcony. The living room is very well furnished.

United KingdomLocated very near to the beach and amenities on the Esplanade. Others shops and restaurants were a 5 minute walk away. Property itself was excellent, spotlessly clean, fully equipped, warm and cosy. Even though it was January the stay was very pleasant. Would like to stay again during the summer months. A perfect base to have while touring the rest of the island.

United KingdomContrary to other reviews, the flat was not clean. The bathroom and kitchen were dirty. The fridge hadn't been cleaned in ages; the ice box was frozen up and packed with partial bags of old food. The dishwasher was smelly and mouldy, and the glasses and plates had visible food and fruit particles stuck to them. The shower area in the bathroom had not been cleaned properly for a while either. The soap tray was covered in scum; the walls had spots of black mould and yellow stains over them; the shower head and part of the hose were grimy, and the shower door was just nasty. One of the towels was stained. We contacted the manager who apologized and said that he would investigate. It was a real shame as the flat was lovely, but you don't go on holiday and expect to have to deep clean!
The location of this flat is wonderful! You wake up to the sound of the sea every morning, and you can breakfast on the balcony, enjoying the beautiful view. A handy set of stone steps opposite the flat takes you down to the beach. The flat is light and airy - very pleasant. Although we didn't use them, there are plenty of books and games provided, and also a TV (possibly with a DVD player) to use if the weather is inclement.
