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 KingdomNothing. We had a lovely stay.
We had a deluxe double room with a large double bed. The room was very big and bright, beautifully clean and had everything we needed and more. Our host Richard was very friendly and did everything possible to make us feel welcome and even went out to get me soya milk as well as a providing fruit and cake in addition to the array of tea and coffees in the room. We had a generous breakfast spread including full breakfast that Richard cooked. The location was great, overlooking the sea and within a few minutes walk to the shops and restaurants in Ventnor as well as to the sea. Parking was provided and we would definitely stay again if we visit the IoW.

United KingdomBeautiful house. The room was large and airy, with a lovely view out over the hills (I believe the view from the other room, out over the sea is stunning), and the huge bed was very very comfortable. Richard is an amazing host. He made us feel so welcome, and his breakfasts, each made according to individual tastes, are legendary (just look at the other reviews). We were so happy there, that we’ll definitely be returning. I honestly can’t recommend Ventnor Bay House enough!

United KingdomI really can't think of anything - it was a great place to stay.
Richard was an excellent host. A great home cooked breakfast each day that was very tasty and filling. I didn't need lunch. The bedroom was comfortable and parking was just outside the house. It's a great location too, overlooking the sea. There's a very friendly local pub called "The Volunteer" three minutes walk away too. I would definitely stay again.

Richard made us more than welcome in his lovely, stylish home, perfectly situated close to Ventnor town and seafront, as well as the coastal walks we love. Our large, cool and airy room was well-appointed and our stay was made special with a beautiful homemade cake and fresh milk for coffee and tea, found in the mini fridge. Breakfast was fabulous; cooked to order with some interesting suggestions! We felt like valued guests and our whole experience was first rate from start to finish.

United KingdomWe were in the rear room so didn't have the sea view but the view was not unpleasant.
The property was located on a cliff overlooking Ventnor bay with lovely views. The house was furnished beautifully. The host was extremely welcoming and friendly and provided lost of useful information on where to eat and visit. Breakfast was lovely and the choice was literally "what would you like and I will cook it" The room also had a wide choice of hot drinks and cold beverages from a fridge, a home made cake and even a glass of sherry if you fancy it!

United KingdomAll was good.
Breakfast was excellent with really fresh fruit salads and well presented and delicious eggs bacon & sausage. Set us up for the day. Our host prepared and cooked our breakfast himself each morning. Richard is a mine of information and always ready to help and recommend places to visit and where to go for a good meal.Saying that though some of the good restaurants were not open during our visit. Would recommend as the rooms are clean with king size beds and a nice shower cubical. Wonderful sea view as well. This is a very nice property. Richard has a close eye for detail.
