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 KingdomThere are some steep stone steps at the back which are not lit and are really quite dangerous. We had to use the torches on our mobile phones to navigate them safely.
The apartment was really spacious for 4 people. Its in a lovely old sandstone building and beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches throughout. Everything looks brand new from the bedding to the carpets. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you’d need. I couldn’t fault it in any way.

United KingdomNothing to fault.
Very well situated within the town. Just a short walk into the town and the esplanade to restaurants and shops. Lovely park opposite, really enjoyed the live band on the weekends. Great apartment with everything you could need should you want to self cater. Has washing machine, dishwasher, iron etc for longer stays. Beautiful garden and nice and quiet. Checking in process was sent prior to stay by David and included a link to a video showing the property and instructions/directions to keys and room. He also offered to get a reduction in ferry crossing too. Great communication Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again

United KingdomThe steps at the rear of the property from which you access your apartment. Obviously, this feature can't be changed due to the structural layout of the property, but my wife struggled and as did myself with large cases.
Very beautifully appointed apartment. Everything you need for a comfortable stay was made available. Located opposite a beautifully managed garden park. Shop, cafes and beach is within reasonable walking distance, be mindful Ventnor is very hilly. We very much enjoyed our stay at Clarence House apartments.

United KingdomOther than rather petulantly complaining that it rained for a whole morning, (note that we were in the UK!), everything was great
A lovely apartment in a beautiful house, just opposite the park. The hosts were both charming and helpful. A quiet location within a short walk of Ventnor, and with access to the coastal path through the park opposite the property. There are some great restaurants in Ventnor, and lovely walks around the area. We'll definitely be staying here again.

United KingdomThe kitchen could have been a lot better equipped! When booking a self catering place, I expect it to be equipped as such - but I definitely wish I had brought more cooking equipment (additional stainless steel pots for one). The splash back was also non existent, and as the property was so neat and clean I was a little bit nervous of causing any mess, so I made sure I cleaned doubly carefully! The sofa. whilst practical wasn't overly comfortable. Finally, sound proofing definitely can not be claimed - I work in the building industry and am very well versed in building regulations. The sound of flushing toilets, and running water from adjacent apartments was extremely loud to the degree that it would not have passed building regs in 2023! It should be noted, that this was only on the final night, and I've travelled extensively so this in no way diminished the enjoyment of the apartment or trip as a whole!
The garden was really stunning, the general location was really quiet (but that was also due to the time frame I had booked). The interior decor and cleanliness was to a good standard. Location was fantastic, and parking was really easy and plentiful. Best holiday in the UK yet!

United KingdomNothing of significance.
Very nice apartment, well designed and equipped for a short stay (or possibly longer?) set within gorgeous Georgian house. Just over the road is a really lovely park with bandstand and a (60's/70's pop) band playing on the Bank Holiday. Just a short, but a bit steep, walk to the beach and Spyglass Inn. Would definitely return here again.

United Kingdomsound travelled quite a lot from the other apartments the water heat/pressure was variable, assuming this is because others were using it at the same time but water would completely stop for a few minutes and it was hard to keep the temperature on warm (rather than scolding hot)
lovely apartment in a great location, really easy to find and close to the costal path and to town, easy to park too the property had a lot of character, lovely high ceilings, the garden was beautiful & clearly a lot of thought had gone into the interiors and decor too hosts were very helpful, providing loads of useful information before & during our stay and even booking the ferry crossing for us apartment was really well kitted out, we didn’t really use the kitchen but if we had, it would have had everything we needed. Also really appreciated the information packet including maps of the island, coffee pods, radio, smart tv and usb sockets next to the beds! :) bed was really comfy and apartment was spacious & a good temperature (heating came on in the evenings which was nice) would definitely stay again!
