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 StatesI dislike the parking spot. Even though we were placed on the and floor for guest that stays there. We COULDN'T find a good parking spot. We have so much trouble finding a parking location and the tightness of the parking area. We would drive the 1st floor of the garage, don't have parking, than drive ton2nd floor don't have parking. We have to continuously drive around for a t least 5-10 minutes before we can even have a good parking location. Being a guest that stays there. I feel that we should be able to have parking spot without having to be frustrated to find a parking spot.
I like the location where we were placed at and being in the center of the shopping centers. Being able to go to the private beach and having shuttle bus provided for us and being in a private area.

United StatesWe went in June apparently during a fishing tournament. It was impossible to park at Baytown which was our main reason for staying here. The trams were running every 45 minutes or so but they couldn't tell you about what time it would come and the ride would take 45 minutes. We decided to not hassle with it. Also, when we went to rent chairs at the beach but no one was at the stand. We got tired of waiting in the heat so we went to the pool which had no umbrellas left. We decided to enjoy the beach from our balcony the rest of the trip. ☺️
We stayed at Beachside Tower 1. The views were beautiful. Our condo was well equipped, clean, and nicely decorated. Felt safe the entire time.

United StatesThe room was okay. There were a few cosmetic concerns and very limited outlets for electronics. I also didn't know until check in that they hold $300 for incidentals. That was a little obstacle.
We loved the resort atmosphere and having access to so much. The location was great! We were a little ways from the beach at bayside, but trams were pretty easy to use.

United StatesThe layout was a little confusing, but once it was figured out, it was great.
It was a resort in itself with access to the beach, onsite restaurants and activities. We did the leave the property to do things, but it really isn't needed. They have everything there, other than snorkling. Also great with families for small children.

United StatesSome sort of sheet or email at check in telling us where ice machines are located, more signage for where to find tram stops, signage for beach access, and at the dunes for basketball/pickle ball there need to be trash cans inside the gate because people were trashing the area w empty cans and bottles. Did see a can outside the courts.

United StatesNo one answered the guest helpline. You could text questions but it might be hours later before you get a response. You could tell the Bayside was pretty old. However, it did look like they were doing some renovations.
Very quiet, mostly clean. Friendly staff, when you saw them but didn't see many staff members.

United StatesMy biggest complain are the pool access. Once of the main reasons I chose this hotel was because of the large pool they use for marketing on their website and marketing materials. It is called The Grand Pool! As much as I wanted to spend time time at the beach, I was envisioning my children playing in the beautiful pool and us enjoying this amenity. I spent 2 hrs looking for this pool, staff sending me to all directions (it is a big resort) to find out that I AM NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT!!!! I was told by costumer service (I have to text them) that it was a private pool for residents only. I was given a list of pools (again from text costumer service) with a list of pools I could use. Very limited and BORING pools. Apparently you can only use the pool that is attached to the building! So if your pool is small , then you are stock with that pool. I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL! It made a huge difference in our trip experience since my entire family just wanted to swim! Also the pool we were able to use was crowded and the water water was freezing cold! Please do not market and give costumers false expectations!!!! Also we wanted to rent a good cart to drive around the amenities and we were told that we couldn’t. It all depends if the condo you are renting has a golf cart! This is our first time staying at the hotel and I do feel there a lot of lack of communication. They expect you to know everything the moment you walk in. I feel the associates at checkin should spend more time going over the facility explaining the pool situation, golf cart rentals availability and how to contact costumer service. We were given the wrong wifi information. We spent 3 out of our 5 day stay without wifi. I honestly don’t like texting costumer service. It is convenient but not personal. I needed to talk to someone and even thought there was a phone number for costumer service, the phone rang and rang.
I LOVE our Beachfront condo. It has everything we needed to be confortable. Fully equipped kitchen, enough towels, very comfortable beds. The view from the balcony was espectacular! Every single staff member was friendly and very accommodating.
