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 KingdomNothing really that we didn't like. The only thing might be worth mentioning was the stairs going upstairs were a bit tight which our elderly nan who found them difficult to navigate and there were a couple of stairs in the kitchen and leading to the downstairs bathroom but our nan could manage them.
The house was so comfortable. We had different ages staying including an elderly nan who found the downstairs bedroom and bathroom really handy. There were so many comforts that made it really feel homely and lovely to have toiletries and food and drink supplies. It is so close to the centre of Cowes and the high street, just a very short walk away. The corner shop is open till 8pm every day and very handy to pick up odd bits. There is also a Sainsbury's on the high street. There was a lovely Chinese takeaway just around the corner. Would definitely recommend and would look to stay again next time we are visiting the Isle of Wight.

United KingdomThere’s literally nothing not to like! It’s just perfect all round. The only slight critic was the bed slats on the double bed kept coming undone.
Excellent location, superb house with excellent facilities, everything absolutely perfect, homely and welcoming. We’ve been coming to Cowes for a while and out of all the properties we have stayed in, this has been the best ever and we plan to book this regularly for our charity Autism on the Water’s events in Cowes.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The property is so well equipped with loads of really nice touches including a welcome pack, fresh flowers, good toiletries and a well stocked kitchen. The garden is a sun trap when the sun shines and there is a garden house with good seating, tv and a fridge to provide a den for the kids or somewhere for the adults to get a bit of sanctuary! The location is superb with all the town facilities within a 5 minute walk or so and a bus stop to Newport (and places beyond) a minute away around the corner. We are looking to return soon.

United KingdomThe summer house provided an additional space for kids to play, and grown-ups also enjoyed drinking morning coffee there. We were welcomed by welcome items such as bread, egg, butter, milk, flower, etc. The drying shed was a good place to dry wet swimming costumes. The cosy lounge with a smart TV with options to log in Netflix account. BBQ set with complementary charcoals was available, although we didn't use it. Only a few minutes walk to the high street with shops and restaurants. 3 bathrooms with a shower or a bath. Received discount for ferry bookings (Red Funnels). Plenty of plates, bowls, cups, glasses, and cuttleries.

United KingdomNothing. It exceeded our expectations. The hosts provided a way of reporting any minor issues we had and were within easy reach if we'd had any big issues.
We found the property listing in August 2022 so booked it well ahead of time. We needed facilities for 6 adults with storage for 5 bikes while we were there. It was perfect! The location was also really good being close to the floating bridge and within 10 mins of the Red Funnel ferry. It was spotlessly clean and the hosts were really easy to deal with. There was a bonus of food and wine when we arrived! They also managed to get us a discounted ferry ticket for the car. We would definitely book here again.
