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 StatesThere is nothing I didn't like at La Plantation
Everything went way above and beyond what was expected. This was my 4th time staying here and every time the service, facilities, staff and atmosphere have been excellent. I accidently forgot an important notebook in my room after I left and they arranged to get it to me within 2 days of my return to the US. Very special thanks to the exceptional staff-Daniella, Sherry and Abimael!

SwitzerlandHotel on booking is advertised as beachfront, but it’s a 5-10 min walk to the beach. They partner up with 5 nearby beach clubs with free access to lounge chairs
Spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful and fun staff. Beach view rooms have a great view. The fact that it wasn’t directly on the beach wasn’t an issue in the end.

United StatesNot much to complain about, the restaurant never anticipated, running out of coffee so it was about a 10 to 15 minute wait for a new pot. I wasn’t the only one most of the diners were lined up and waiting for coffee.
Room was wonderful. It was a good location, but a pretty long walk to the beach. Restaurant was small, but adequate for the hotel. Breakfast was included nothing to brag about. It’s a walk from reception to your room, if walking bothers to you, particularly uphill note that when you make a reservation.

The breakfast was good but it would have been nice to have a little variety from day to Day especially with hot foods such as eggs.

United StatesSome of the bathrooms were a little dated compared to others that were remodeled after the hurricane, but the size and private locations more than made up for that little detail.
The location was perfect, and we preferred the styling and privacy better than the more expensive yet generic and commercial looking Orient Bay hotel. We were amazed by the extensive breakfast buffet included which greatly increased the value and delight of our stay at la Plantation. The kitchen area and large shaded terrace were great additions to our room and we loved their pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they were able to accommodate our early arrival. Definitely will recommend to others and come back to visit on our next stay in Saint Martin!

United StatesI liked everything.
The staff was excellent. Especially the breakfast crew. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome at the hotel and on the island. They are very knowledgeable about places to go, the best beaches, even who to see when we get to the beach to even make out stay unforgettable. The front desk girl, Saoude, was as good and welcoming. Just because of them, I am already planning my next trip.

United StatesNo concierge service I could see as advertised on their website. They offered a rental car service but I had no need of that. They told me where to buy water and they booked my taxis, both of these were helpful. But they couldn't give specific recommendations for tours or activities so I pretty much winged everything else. And OMG, the mosquitoes. I have no idea where they were coming into my room from, I was so careful with the front door, and yet somehow they kept getting in and bit me so many times. Mosquito netting shown in hotel photos was not up, maybe they only put it up in high season? Getting to the room with luggage was a bit of a struggle.
The location to the beach was excellent. The good all you can eat breakfast offered many options, the only thing missing was another starch (like potatoes or hash?) beyond cornflakes for those with celiac / who have to eat gluten free. Studio was beautiful and roomy, more than ample for more person. Bathroom was lovely, though it was strange that you had to lock the door to keep it closed. Staff pleasant. Nice touch to get you started with a big bottle of water since you can't drink the tap water in St. Martin. Restaurant on site, Cafe Plantation, does an excellent dinner service. Didn't get a chance to try them at lunch.
