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 KingdomIts really hard to find anything we didn't like. Maybe the beds were a little to soft, but is that something to not like, I am not sure!
We absolutely loved this place. We stayed for a week with the kids and the location to the beach is just outstanding. The apartment has recently been decorated and is very modern with everything you need, the place has a great vibe and is lovely and clean. Having such a nice place to stay made our holiday so much better. Joe was excellent in communicating up front and it was really easy to check in. Also having a parking space is a real bonus in Ventnor as there is many places to park. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a lovely holiday by the sea.

United KingdomThere is parking for one car but it is quite tricky to get into the space especially if there are cars parked opposite. The road the flat is on and where the parking space is at the top of, is also very steep. There is nowhere to sit outside (although the beach front is very close).
Location was amazing as it was 30 seconds from the beach. Ventnor is a really lovely town to explore with some great restaurants. The apartment is a really lovely size with all the rooms very spacious. It was also very clean. You can see the beach from one of the bedroom windows. There is a really nice walk in shower.

United KingdomThe steep hill up to the parking. Luckily we didn't come in my car!
The flat was absolutely wonderful. Very stylish, comfortable and an added touch of milk, tea, coffee and sugar available. The closeness to the sea, the sea view from the bedroom. Walking distance to food.

United KingdomThe hill up to the apartment is ever so slightly steep which my pregnant fiancée struggled with. Take it slow and easy and it’s not a problem at all.
This is a very beautiful apartment with a built in calming soundtrack of the sea that helped me get off to sleep at night.

United KingdomEverything there was really nothing to grumble about at all our stay was comfortable and well located.
the apartment was spacious and very well presented. There were clear instructions on how to get the key for the front door and clear instructions inside on how everything works. The parking is sufficient once we mastered the hill to get to it. Everything was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable. The location was great as near the beach and lots of food places to eat with reasonable prices. Very happy with everything would deffo come again.

United KingdomThe car park space is very tight. The hill to the apartment is very steep. Fine for us but maybe difficult if you have mobility problems.
Beautiful apartment. Lovely living space and two lovely bedrooms. Perfect for us with a two year old. Close to restaurants, cafes, ice cream parlour and the beach.

United KingdomThe property is on a very steep hill, which we did cope with, but I would imagine some people might struggle with. The parking space was a little tight to get in and out, but as we have a rear camera on our car, I did manage it. Could have been tricky with a very long car. However, parking is at a premium so having a dedicated space was a luxury.
Brilliant location very close to the beach, with a sea view from the front bedroom. Apartment very clean and immaculately presented with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable lounge with 2 large sofas, decent size TV and properly functioning heating. As our stay was end of September, we appreciated that extra bit of comfort.

United KingdomThe description correctly states 'parking' however, this is only for one vehicle and as the apartment sleeps 6, it is highly likely that at least 2 vehicles will be used. Alternative parking is available at a cost, at the long stay car park a short distance away.
Wonderful quiet location, just off the Esplanade; only 50yd walk to the beach down the steep hill. The apartment was cleaned to a very high standard, and there were new white goods in the kitchen. The beds, chairs and sofas were comfortable and there was plenty of room at the kitchen table. When there was a hiccup, the owner was easy to contact and quickly resolved the problem.

United KingdomHonestly these are absolutely minor complaints, but I felt a bit hesitant to cook anything much because the instructions ask you not to cook anything smelly, and I wasn't sure what exactly that would constitute. It mentioned curry specifically, but fish? Garlic? So tended to eat blander than I otherwise would. That said I understand lingering food smells could be an issue for a holiday apartment! The beds were very soft, but I'm sure my bed would be very hard to some. Can't please everyone, eh?
Apartment was exceptionally clean, clearly recently refurbished. Didn't hear a peep out of the neighbouring apartments. Literally a stone's throw from the beach, depending upon your technique. Lovely sea view from the front bedroom.
