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 StatesThis property was BEAUTIFUL even during the off season with rainy days it was paradise. The staff was incredible and so accommodating and the food was delicious. The pool was fantastic, the view was spectacular, and the wild life was something else! I got to watch a sunrise with a crab, and came back to my room to find a little lizard friend had come in while I kept my door open and took a snooze on my bed. Hermit crabs were a delight to spot by the river area as well, and seashell hunting was delightful! 12/10 will be back again, but with more people!!

CanadaThe apartment area is shared by owners/renters and the unit behind us had a big dog they let go loose. It defecated by our apartment, came up to our dog who was on a leash (luckily our dog is friendly) and swam in the pool and was play biting/scratching at my partner.
Facilities and grounds were very clean. Staff went above and beyond in every aspect - they were exceptional. They were very friendly and hospitable. The swimming pools were clean. The 2 bedroom apartment was a perfect size for 4 people and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view from the unit was beautiful. We were extremely happy with the location. It's at the quiet end of the beach.

CanadaRestaurant food is good, but staff have difficulty with English (and my Spanish is not good) -- orders and requests very mixed up. Hard copy of menus would be a big help and solve more than one problem. The lady in charge is great -- accommodating and gracious.

United KingdomWe had a few bugs in our room sadly but only saw them on one night and was able to get rid of them. Maybe spraying the room each day would help keep them away?
The pool was so relaxing and there was plenty of seating around the pool. The beach was right on the property and was so quiet and secluded. There were lots of wildlife around the hotel and the food was very good. The checkout experience was smooth and easy.

United StatesOur kid’s room was with 2 full beds. I would love if the bed will be Queen as we have 4 kids and the bed was small for 2. Would also love it if there will be a bit of light at night when walking to the center on the beach. Our room had see view but also the restaurant table just in front of it, so we couldn’t really open a curtain. Would also like if they had beach towels and a safe
Great location. 10 minute walk from the center so it is quiet enough from the commotion. Beautiful pool and view. Friendly staff

United StatesThe pool near the condos was extremely warm - not very refreshing but big enough for a work out if the water had been cooler.
We upgraded to a 2 BR condo since the king room was not what we were hoping for. The condo was fabulous - the beach was top notch. We enjoyed taking out the kayaks and swimming in the ocean as well as walking the beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating at all times. Loved the restaurant being open all day/evening.
