Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

BelgiumCash paymeny only, in JMD or USD which is understandable. The bed was a normal sized double and to us rather small.
Very nice room at the back of a private house with a separate entrance. Location is in a sidestreet of the main road, so walking distance to supermarket and shops, .... Marie is extremely helpful and also forwarded a local guidebook. She also arranged a taxi to bring us to Knutsford bus early in the morning and woke up to say goodbye to us ! In the room you have a kettle , fridge and toaster. Outside there is a gas stove and sitting area. Very nicely done ! Moreover, the bathroom is ecellent with very nice towels and walk in shower. Another bonus is Netflix if you would need it.

United KingdomI liked EVERYTHING!
Ms Marie is one of the best hosts i've EVER encountered! Her property is the cleanest I've ever stayed at. I love the lil touches of technology, like the touch-free soap dispenser for your hands. The artwork on the wall makes it feel homely. The room consists of several things including a fridge, mini oven, desk, a bag containing beach towels, kettle, cutlery, spare towels /bedsheets, & more. The location is a walking distance to most things, or a taxi service. Ms Marie kindly dropped me off to Frenchman's cove, as it was on the route to her work. I really appreciated such a kind gesture, and I loved how she shared some history about Port Antonio, with me. She also created a list of things to see/eat which came in really handy! It rained quite a bit while I was there, so the TV which has useful apps such as Netflix & YouTube, came in very handy! Did I mention HOW CLEAN THIS PLACE IS??? Honestly, I am absolutely going to be back here soon (hopefully there will be less rain when I do!)

We had a fantastic stay at Centrally Located. Marie showed us all the facilities which included air conditioning, Flat Screen Smart TV, outdoor cooking facilities & a fully tiled bathroom. The room was spotless & the house only recently been built, so very modern. We made use of the outdoor cooking facilities which had everything we needed. Marie also gave us great advice on things to see & made us feel very welcome while also giving us plenty of space. Marie was also very communicative before we arrived answering all our questions. Thanks Marie, we really appreciated it!! I would absolutely recommend staying here. Look no further!!!

SwitzerlandNice space, super nice hosted by Marie and her lovely family. Portland is the nature parish, so there's a lot of nature to explore. The place is located very central so most of the town is basically within walking distance and route taxis will take you further out of town if needed. Would definitely recommend to book this place when you vist Portland.

CanadaNothing. No complaints.
Maybe our favourite stay in Jamaica. I was as happy to arrive back to the room every night as I was at the resort. Super friendly owner, helpful and friendly. The room was lovely and the bathroom was very modern. Room was provisioned with fridge and toaster oven as well, which is not typical but very welcomed! We were able to have our breakfast in the room quick so we could have full days exploring. Great location, away from the bustle but very close. Well equipped room and the outdoor cooking area was a great place to eat all our meals. Even the decor is fun, I am not an anime guy, and I don't understand the design aesthetic but it was worth a laugh. Owners pets also made appearances outside and were friendly and cute.

A lovely self contained private room in Port Antonio hosted by Marie. The room is very comfortable with a modern bathroom and is far more impressive in reality than the photos on booking.com. It has its own rear entrance with outside cooking facilities and patio. Marie and her family were very helpful and friendly even offering us a lift to Frenchman's Cove. The room and bathroom were absolutely spotless. Very close to the main town and the transport centre (Texaco garage) Highly recommended

GermanyIt was a perfect stay and just 2 little things could be improved.They are building the outdoor area where you can sit and cook but it wasn't finished when we went there. We had our dirty shoes outside but there is nothing to protect them from the rain so they got wet over night (our fault to be honest).
This was by far the best homestay-room we ever went to. It had everything you need and much more then we expected (AC, beautiful bathroom, fridge, TV, moskitonets etc etc.) It's 5 min walk to the city center and has everything nearby. Our Host was so friendly and helpful. For this price it was like a 4,5 star hotel room 😁

Marie is a wonderful host and this place was amazing. I would say it’s the nicest place I’ve stayed in Port Antonio ans maybe even Jamaica too, and I’ve stayed in many places. Just lovely and clean, spacious, everything you need and some lovely little touches and attention to detail. Love the outside area where you can cook and eat. Just fabulous and I wish I could have spent longer there.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Port Antonio. The location is superb, the waterfront and all the amenities of the town are within walking distance. Marie and her family were excellent hosts who provided the perfect balance of maintaining our privacy whilst always being happy to help. The room itself is spotlessly clean and well equipped. We also enjoyed the private outdoor area.

JamaicaLet me start by mentioning how Great the staff was. Marie and her daughter were both very accommodating and welcoming. We got there later than anticipated, but ofcourse! Miss Marie waited diligently. We got a swift tour of our private area which was really clean and inviting. I also like that they were there, but not there. Privacy was maintained. The bathroom was prestine, outdoor is peaceful along with everything that you would need is there. Did I mention that I also made a friend 🐶. She's the sweetest Definitely going back!

This is the best place to stay in Port Antonio - I have the basis to make a comparison. Clean - extraordinary clean! Cozy and secure external space. Internally - modern with enough space (I didn't expect that). Secure car park. Well done!

JamaicaI didn't know it was just a room in a house separated from the other rooms in the house by just a door and i was concerned about privacy in terms the owners being able to hear what was going on in the room however they were very discreet and we didn't even realize others were there... The bed was a bit smaller than I'm used to but it worked, it was clean, facilities were great, private entrance, AC etc. I loved it and would definitely go back
