Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndiaThe only disadvantage of the property is that it is a basement flat which means natural light and ventilation aren't the best but not a major issue either.
The location is great and only a short walk from the beach. Majella provided help with the ferry over and clear instructions on how to get to the property. It was easy to find free parking nearby. The property was very clean with big spacious rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped. The decor and lighting make the place even more comfy. Would highly recommend.

United KingdomThis apartment was just perfect for our family. It was lovely and cosy and the owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay was extra special. The location of the property is ideal, and we walked down to the beach in less than 5 minutes. The rooms were lovely and tidy and the owner, Majella, had clearly put a lot of effort into making things extra special for us both when we arrived and through her contact with us during our stay. A true home away from home, we didn't want to leave!! Would highly recommend!!!

United KingdomAlthough everything was reasonably clean there were some things that could have had a bit more TLC - like the kettle for example. We had to give it a good descale before we were happy to use it. Overall it was clean enough to be comfortable.
Very comfortable stay in a well equipped little apartment. We had everything that we needed. It is close to the beach and to town of Ventnor. It was easy to walk from the apartment to different locations. It is in a quiet location. We enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomThe en-suite didn’t have an extractor fan and this may have contributed to the damp feeling in the master bedroom? No outdoor space for a group to sit.
Nice location and well furnished. Majella was very helpful and responsive with ferry ticket discounts, car parking advice and even a welcome bottle of wine!

United KingdomThe apartment was very spacious so as a family we had plenty of space. The interior of the apartment was beautifully decorated and had wonderful furnishings which suited the character of the building. The extra bits like towels, bedding and washing up liquid etc...was an added bonus. The apartment was definitely in a great location and would definitely use it again in the future.

United KingdomNot a criticism of the place, as we knew what we had booked (lower ground floor flat), but if we were coming during the summer months with our kids, we'd probably want somewhere with some outside space in order to be able to sit out in the evenings.
This is such a lovely place to stay. We visited IOW for a few nights with our 2 kids (age 6 and 1) and Ventnor was the perfect base - all of the activities and day trips we wanted to do were within a 20-30mins drive. Everywhere in town (to eat and drink) was very welcoming and family friendly. We found Casaurina to be a brilliant place to stay - the location is ideal (walking distance to everything in town), it was kid friendly and felt spacious enough for us all (nice to have 2 bathrooms). Majella is a perfect host; she couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying at Casaurina if you're visiting IOW.

United KingdomThe stairs down to the entrance were a little tricky to negotiate but that was due to my lack of mobility.
The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. The view from outside was stunning. The host was very helpful and friendly although we only had telephone contact. A nice touch was the “welcome”wine plus a selection of basic necessities (coffee, tea, milk etc.). The apartment was also close to the centre of all the amenities we would need.

United KingdomParking is a bit of a pain but nothing that is in the control of the host so more of an FYI than a criticism. There is free parking a stones throw from the apartment itself which would be ideal but it is small and very often full. The next nearest free parking is a little further, perhaps only 4 minutes walking, and up a steep(ish) hill. We had two small children with us so we tended to unload at the nearest parking if there were no spaces available and then park up at the further one in relative comfort.
Brilliant host and a truly wonderful apartment to stay in. Clean and beautifully presented, we felt at home the moment we arrived. Communication from the host was excellent right from the start with clear and concise instructions on how to get there, find parking and collect the key. More information once inside told us all we needed to know about the apartment, where the facilities were and had a wealth of information on things like where to eat which was a great help. The location is fantastic with the town centre a few steps away and the beach almost as close. We would come back here again in a heartbeat!
