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.).

AustraliaBeautiful location. Grand 1940s hotel. A little old around the edges - but that’s part of the charm. Polite and helpful staff. Great breakfast menu including breakfast cocktails. Straight across from the beach. A must stay.

United StatesOnly real complaint is that there are no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels which is a tad inconvenient.
Staff was amazing and the restaurant was outstanding!!! Kudos to the Chef - Love that they have some amazing Jazz music playing every single day and the whole ambience of the hotel was just a dream! This is an absolutely wonderful hotel that I will be sure to visit again!!!

SpainThe room smelled of mold, the AC was very loud and the beachfront view from my room was not exactly a view with the arches in front of the window. I would have described as partial beachfront view
Its on the quiet end of Miami Beach and the building is very characteristic. Its comfortable and charming.

AustraliaThe hotel had a problem with the WiFi and TV which the Andrew went to great pains to resolve.
The staff were really helpful particularly Andrew and Art. The hotel is only 1 min away from the beach and the hotel provides beach deck chairs and umbrellas. The room was really comfortable and had a balcony with a slight view of the water. The roof top pool was well maintained with a bar and the water temperature was perfect.

CanadaThe room was a little loud and dated.
Superb location for both the beach and every attraction on the Ocean Drive. The hotel has character - we loved the jazz in the evening, the reading room in the afternoon, the rooftop pool in the evening, and of course the Orb (and the overall design). The staff were amazing: special shoutout to the cleaning staff - as soon as we put the "clean the room" sign, it was taken care of! Loved our stay in the not-so-busy season.

SwedenThe rooms are small, which we knew. We missed to be able to hang clothes up in the bathroom - way more hooka needed there aswell as in the actual room. The cleaning was sometimes as late as 3-4 pm. Also, a turn down would be nice considering the rate 😆. It’s also a shame to not have freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast.

United KingdomRooms were very small. There were a few niggles. Eg when we arrived the safe in one of our rooms didn’t work and nor did the tv in the bathroom. Both were fixed promptly but I was surprised these things aren’t checked before the room is handed over. The beach service is not smooth e.g on day one we were only given 4 chairs even though we were a group of 6 and had booked a double and quadruple room. I queried this and they eventually gave us 6 chairs but showed us the information from the hotel is that all rooms except suites can only get two chairs. I didn’t bother asking for 6 chairs after this as it was too much hassle. Day 2 at the beach they had run out of towels when we came to the beach at 3.30pm. We were there for two hours at the beach and no new towels came. I was left wondering if the Betsy would be better operating their beach service themselves rather than contracting it out. Beach service hours are also short (ending 5.30pm) which surprised me as with children it is often safer/ wiser to go to the beach later when less hot.
I loved the Betsy, I liked it more the more I stayed there. The positives included jazz in the piano bar which was my favourite thing, the lovely and helpful staff, eg Fritz helped us with our luggage and lent us a bucket and spades for our children for the beach, two great pools, lovely toiletries in the rooms and at the pools, the beach, the chocolate gift they left in the room for my daughter for her birthday, yoga on the rooftop, the gym.
