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 StatesMany areas show their age and need work. The air conditioning on the top floor was struggling to keep the rooms cool. The top floor ceilings do not have any insulation and will never have efficient air conditioning unless insulation is installed. The AC units ran continuously even when set at 24C (75F). Communication with the facility was also spotty and needs to be improved. There is no main desk or anybody to call on a weekend.
Great location, villas and views. Love the three bedrooms all with private bathrooms. Also, we appreciate the guard keeping us secure. Our family of 13 enjoyed the facility and our 4 villas.

United StatesThe surrounding and entrance are in bad shape. I understand the government will be improving the area in the next year. Make sure you understand costs so there are no surprises.
It is close to some of the best snorkel and dive spots on this side of the island. The units are very spacious and have a good layout. The facility felt safe with 24/7 guard.

CanadaThe patio doors do not lock properly and even though it was a gated community it would of been better with securely locked patio doors. Maintenance did attempt to correct but were unsuccessful.
It was spacious and quiet.

GermanyThe location of the property is a little remote from some of the main attractions in the Jan Thiel area. Without a car it is difficult to do the shopping, because the nearest supermarket is 20 minutes walking away. Beach area was easily and freely accessible, but since it was quit rocky for the children they did not find it ideal. The fact that there is not a small shop or breakfast possible on-site and the fact that the local activities are not really linked to the resort offer room for improvement.
The room was really big and equipped at a high standard with dishwasher, washing machine, oven etc. All equipment was working well and also it had air-conditioning in all bedrooms. The staff, both in the office and security, were really helpful and accommodating.

NetherlandsWith a few minor upgrades the apartments could go from good to excellent. Plates, cups and cutlery was so scarce that we could not use the dishwasher as we constantly needed to rewash the dishes for the next use. Also for a longer stay (like we did) it would be great to have at least an extra set of bedsheets or an in between change of sheets. Also the beach on the property could be 'dressed up' a little more, like having chairs available under the palapa's. Now it is just sand and palapa's and no place to sit otherwise as on a beach towel.
We really liked the freedom of having 2 apartments so we could prepare our own meals and feel at home. No feeling of staying in a hotel or guest room, but our own place, which was nice as we stayed for 3 full weeks. The rooms were really spacious, well furnished and comfortable again very suitable for a longer stay. The guards were very friendly and we felt totally secure and safe. Also the fact that the buildings were fully accessible for wheelchairs and people with mobility problems was very nice. Great service. If there was any question or minor complaint, it got immediately attended.

United StatesParking: Very narrow spaces and our assigned spot was right next to some overgrown plants so that no one could get in one on side of the car - driver had to pull the car out of the space first everyday. I'm sending them a note about this because it's such a minor thing that can become an annoyance, but so easily fixed. Bathroom tub looked a bit flimsily put together, but it all worked fine.
Great, spacious rooms. Loved that one entire wall of the living room was sliding glass doors that looked out on the ocean. And that you could also sit outside on the balcony and hear the waves below.

NetherlandsThe hygiene
We arrived later in the evening so we got the keys from the security. The rooms in our apartment were clean but everything was older and some things were deteriorating (like the bathtub, showers, kitchen cabinets). The bed was very comfortable and there was no noise. From our balcony we had a view of the Caracasbay, this was very pretty, especially in the morning when the sun rises. Jan Thiel beach was a 10 minute drive. The surroundings of the apartment were pretty dirty, especially the beach. The kitchen was well-equipped. You pay electricity and water in advance, so you really have to make sure that you don't use the airconditiong too long and take shorter showers. Otherwise this will be deducted from your deposit. They are very strict about this. The complex has 24/7 security and the security staff is very friendly!
