Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Saint LuciaNo restaurant at facility. Had to ask for a kettle to make a cup of tea/ coffee. Upon check out there was no one present. No TV in room
A staff member kindly provided ground coffee, milk and sugar. This staff member was the most pleasant individual at the hotel. The room was always clean and towels provided daily.

CanadaThe dated and sparse amenities, only two lounge chairs for the entire complex. Our “suite” had a half fridge and a microwave, no stovetop nor coffee maker, a table to use as a counter, no kitchen sink. PBH has to update their listing information on Booking.com as it is misleading; it states one thing and a different paragraph says the opposite.
Location, location, location, right on a wonderful beach! Swim-able and walkable, water temperatures amazing! Beautifully kept grounds with very accommodating staff, very good security. Easy walking distance to several restaurants in Picard, the actual location of Portsmouth Beach Hotel. This was important as there are not any cooking facilities in the rooms.

United KingdomDid not like the room. It was more shabby shabby than shabby chic. Extra bed was small, low and uncomfortable. Towels were frayed and of poor quality. The whole hotel requires refurbishment. The restaurant was closed, which proved a great inconvenience, considering that there was no cooking facilities in the room or any means to prepare a simple meal.
The staff were great. Friendly and accommodating. Supporting us to negotiate ordering taxis, booking excursions and arranging beauty treatments. They took time to get to know us, we were a large group. Even going as far as to know when each party was checking out and time of their flight 👍👍

United KingdomUnfortunately I timed my stay badly as the hotel was having a refit to the restaurant/bar so I cannot comment on that. The room itself was very basic and averagely clean okay for the price, could do with a kettle and some kitchen utensils to use with the microwave.
The staff are very friendly/helpful and the location in Portsmouth is perfect just on the edge of town. The hotel sits right on the beachfront ideal for swimming, snorkelling and perfect for watching the setting sun. There is a reef right next to the pier you can spend hours snorkelling and observing the marine life, the hotel lends out snorkelling gear for free.

CanadaWe really didn't sleep much, unfortunately. The beds were highly uncomfortable and we had many issues with the a/c units and the refrigerators in the room (some of our food spoiled because they weren't working). The staff did their best to try to help but in the end, we still went without specific amenities. I wanted to really love this place (I've stayed in the beachside cottages before and had a better experience), but those basic necessities did cause discomfort. I suppose you get what you pay for here; lovely location, great on the budget, but not the highest in comforts.
The location was absolutely wonderful - what a beautiful, peaceful view to wake up to in the morning. The staff were all friendly and as helpful as they could be. The grounds were very well-kept and it was lovely to see the many fruit trees.

Trinidad and TobagoThe rooms are in need of serious upgrade-the first room I was placed in was musty. When I turned on the pipe in the bathroom, the water was initially brown. The ac was making a noise and not very cool and the fridge & microwave did not seem to be working. Thanks to Vernelle who arranged a room change. The next room was tolerable. Note there is no TV or phone in the rooms and no full length mirror. Toiletries are the bare minimum-towels, toilet paper & bar soap. It was far from the capital (about 1 hour/1h 15 minutes) so if in attendance like I was for the World Creole Music Festival-it is quite a journey back & forth.
The pop up restaurant was great-the food was tasty & well presented. Kudos to the chef & staff-they we're very welcoming-Marva, Keanne, Alicia(hope I got the names correct). The service & food at the restaurant were the positive highlights at the hotel. The staff made all attempts to facilitate requests for transportation & room issues.

NigeriaI would have liked to eat at the hotel's restaurant but it was not functioning at the time. I sourced for food (very tasty food from Green Light Restaurant) in the town centre.
I stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean 🌊 and went to sleep each night with the rushing sounds of the waves...It was a dream come true! I enjoyed sitting on the plastic adjustable lounge beach chair, observing the ocean's ripples and waves, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the island 🏝️ The staff were friendly, helpful with information on places to visit on the island, and very respectful.

United KingdomThe bed in the room was very comfortable. Facilities absolutely poor.we had a fridge microwave 2 glasses and that was it .no tea making Facilities or plates etc.what is the point of a microwave? We asked for a kettle which we got and was told the room we booked came without a kettle. We also had to buy 2 mugs and borrow a spoon. The room was so basic we couldn't make a coffee after travelling for 15 hours.very disappointed. Definitely not worth the money we paid I think it was 1200 $ American at that.Its only saving grace was the location. That was excellent. And no I wouldn't stay there again. Sorry.
The location was amazing couldn't fault it and the onsite restaurant was great. The restaurant was Good value for money and right on the beach .very romantic. The reception staff were so helpful as my case was lost for 2 days. All the staff were really polite.
