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 KingdomThe only thing that could have been better is the shower being a bit small, being over 6 foot and 16 stone, this is a bit difficult but was manageable for the stay. Nothing else to mention, the property is excellent to stay at, and is comfortable for the short stay we had.
Plenty of parking outside, vehicles could be viewed from the property. Refreshments on arrival was available, this was needed after a 4 1/2 hour trip down. View from the property is wonderful, overseeing the sunset from the property in the evening. Communication with the property owner is easy via email. Sorted an issue out while we was out, we was asked for permission to enter while we was having a day out. Everything that you needed in the kitchen area was available for use. As this is the second time at this property, we will be returning again next year if it is available.

United KingdomFor us, the Shower stall could be a foot bigger in each direction. I'm not a fan of Monks Lanes as it's single track with some passing places but sharp bends.
The communication with the owners when we arrived to solve a little difficulty we had. The Chalets at Brambles are the perfect size and location to explore the IOW. From Brambles, here are nice walks on the Coastal Path to Fort Victoria and beyond towards Yarmouth in one direction, and towards the Needles in the other. Breakfast was awesome as we cooked it ourselves, and the kitchen facilities were very good for that. I did walk to the Sugar Loaf in the town though and that was really nice - see if you can find the dragon carved into a tree.

United KingdomUnfortunately the beds were very uncomfortable and the room with double bed was so small that it was almost impossible to get changed in there. And there was no space for a wardrobe or chest of drawers which meant living out of a suitcase.
Wonderful location and we'll equipped chalet, so many things to see and do in the Island, will definitely return one day.

Although we didn't meet the host(s), we felt the welcome was warm. They had left for us some milk and dip, two small bottles of wine and chips. There was also tea, coffee, sugar, salt, etc., the basics. We felt that the hosts were generous and thoughtful.
