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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 water pressure of the shower was a bit disappointing but a small factor against all the positives.
Great location with easy access to a beautiful quiet beach. Bistro on site offered good food (with some gf options) at reasonable prices. All staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Wifi was good and it was great value for money. Very comfortable beds/pillows!

United KingdomThe property could do with a little bit of updating. Could be an absolutely awesome property with a bit of investment- however, it would be unfortunate if that resulted in an increase in prices.
The location of this property is excellent - literally on the beach with the Bayside beach bar just yards away for good food and beer deals. Beach is right on the doorstep and the water in the bay great for swimming being calmer than the waters round by the St Lawrence area. A 10 minute walk along the beach to Savvy’s bar area for great food and drink open 24 hours and another 5 minutes to Bridgetown.

CanadaSofa and bed was hard for my liking. Ok for Dad. A shower curtain would have helped keep water off the floor leading to the toilet room.
Excellent location right on the beach in Carlisle Bay. Brownes beach proper is just a 5 min walk away. Exactly what we wanted and needed!

AustraliaWe visited during low season, so this might not apply year round, but we would have loved the bistro and bar to be open in the afternoon and evening. Happy hour at sunset on the beach would have been fantastic.
The location was excellent and staff were great. Very accommodating of our requests for additional nights, linen etc. The beach was great for swimming and snorkelling. We saw turtles in reasonably shallow water every day. The shipwreck is easily accessible off shore for confident swimmers (we didn't have fins and still quite achievable) and the number of different fish varieties was amazing. Absolutely spectacular sunsets from this location as well. Lots of food options close by and Bridgetown is within walking distance. The two bedroom/two bathroom unit was a great size with enough utility in the kitchen to cater some meals for ourselves.

CanadaOur shower only had cold water. From the bathroom windows, we could see a security camera. I'm sure its only intended to capture people going up and down the stairs, and going through that hallway. Nonetheless, from our vantage point, it looks like it could potentially see into the bathroom from it's periphery. There's 2 windows in that bathroom, I would suggest Nautilus cover up one of them, so guests won't have to be concerned or uncomfortable about this.
We had a fantastic stay here. We couldn't have asked for a better location, right on the famous Carlisle Bay. The staff were also top-notch; highly professional, and hard working. Their Bayside Bistro (beach bar and restaurant) was superb as well. Thank you to Nicole, Shanice, and the rest of the team, for providing such a wonderful stay for us!

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything I didn’t really like but I’m not super picky. Yes it needed some little repairs here and there and the shower knob was a bit wobbly… but nothing that bothered me
Amazing location… quiet but easily accessible for shops restaurants.. bars. The staff were amazing especially Nicole, Omar and Tams to name a few. Everyone was so polite helpful and kind. Being a first time solo traveler they made me feel so welcome and safe. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Situated right on a beautiful white sandy beach right next to where they snorkel with the turtles and swim the racehorses. The apartment itself wasn’t 5* but it had every o needed, was clean and comfortable with a great view over the beach and ocean. I fell in love with Barbados and this villa. I actually thought it was better than their sister hotel. The food was amazing and the cocktails second to none! I will be going back and staying there again!!

United StatesThere's a small parking lot between the rooms and the beach, which obstructs what would be a beautiful view. Housekeeping is by request, but we didn't know so the first day we came back and the room wasn't made up. Housekeeping is really friendly, so it was easily resolved. We asked in advance for two separate beds but they were still together even after we asked again when we got there.
The beach is BEAUTIFUL and only a few yards from the rooms. The hotel is easy to find and only about twenty minutes from the airport. The staff is super helpful and nice. Jah was really friendly and helped us learn a lot about the island. The restaurant is right on the beach so you can have food and drinks under the tent or brought to your beach chair!

United KingdomTaxi driver drove past the small sign to reception without seeing it (of course we were in the back so didn’t see it either). All the rooms have signs on the door saying “Welcome, please knock” so we knocked and unfortunately disturbed a guest who told us reception is on the other side of the building from the parking area. No hair drier - but maybe if you ask … we didn’t as only staying 2 nights.
The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The bistro (same management) on the beach is good. It’s in a lovely quiet spot between the acres of pay-for sunliungers nearer town and the big hotels at the S end of the bay. It’s an easy swim from the beach to the wrecks that are mobbed with tours from about 10am. The rooms are basic but everything works. It’s about a 25 minute walk into the middle of Bridgetown. Go along the beach, the road is busy and foot way often blocked.
