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...).

CanadaThe only real issue was the inability of stable POS machine for purchases. Our group would have purchased a lot more if there was a secure method of payment. The host did mention that they are working on this, so we are excited for this development for our next visit.
The location is simply spectacular. There is an incredible view of the ocean, the grounds are beautifully curated with a diversity of flowers and fruit trees. You feel right at home and carefree on the property. The sunrise and sunset are simply stunning. The staff is incredibly friendly. Our meals here were really delicious and they accommodated one member of our party who has a very restrictive diet. The hosts are so approachable, very responsive, open, fun and gracious.

United KingdomPimento Lodge totally met our expectations.
Lovely hidden location up in the hills above Long Bay beach which is a lovely little coconut tree lined beach. From Long Bay you can take a route taxi for 300 per person to the many sights on the road to Port Antonio including Blue Lagoon, Boston Jerk Centre and the beautiful Frenchman’s Cove. We organised a driver through the hotel to take us on some day tours which were unmissable experiences. The rooms all have balconies looking over the ocean, they’re spacious and a lot better than the photos indicate. But the highlight of Pimento Lodge are Lloyd and Kate who are wonderful hosts. Warm hospitality and wonderful home cooking for breakfast and dinner each day.

CanadaMy family and I stayed at Pimento Lodge for 8 days In January 2024 - what a wonderful experience. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, I found myself exploring the gardens and watching/listening to the birds each day. The view of the ocean from the lodge's high vantage point was a great start to each day and the ocean breeze at night made for some excellent sleeps. We had hours of fun in the pool with our 4-year old daughter and enjoyed our breakfasts each morning which included superb coffee, fruits, and local dishes such as ackee and saltfish. The walk into town each day was a great way to see Long Bay, a beautiful area with a very mellow vibe. Above all, we got to spend time with the owners of Pimento Lodge, Llyod and Kate, a very sweet and loving couple who made us feel right at home. Kea, Seth and Sonya miss you. We will be back one day!

United KingdomIt is quite remote without many other restaurants or tourist facilities within walking distance. Our hosts were happy to cook for us in the evening, often using food grown in their garden. The roads between Kingston and Port Antonio are not for the faint hearted.
Beautifully designed, good pool, delightful hosts and fabulous views. Quiet and safe. Excellent varied breakfasts. The property is built on a hillside overlooking Long Bay set in a beautiful tropical garden.

United KingdomThe meals and drinks are a little pricey, which no doubt reflects the lack of alternatives in Long Bay and around.
Almost everything about Pimento Lodge met or exceeded our expectations. Lloyd and Kate are excellent and knowledgeable hosts, their daughter Dionne was also there and it was a pleasure to meet and talk with her. The food was good and the location and lodge surroundings were also very good.

We had a wonderful time and immediately felt at home thanks to the owners, Lloyd and Kate, who are delightful people and very caring hosts. Breakfast time on the terrace was very special as Lloyd and Kate prepare something that includes a local flavor and there is always time to talk. This is more like visiting friends than staying in a hotel -- a rare and wonderful thing!

IsraelPimento is a cozy hideaway resort with lovely rooms, spectacular views and charming amenities. The grounds are filled with various fruit trees and the rooms are perched on a slope so you feel the ocean breeze. Definitely an amazing experience, if only for a short conversation with Lloyd and Kate! They are the best hosts that you will find in Jamaica - kind, full of stories and jokes, truly a lovely couple.

United KingdomLack of access to WiFi as when booking one of my criteria for choosing Pimento Lodge was free WiFi. Having limited access to the one dongle in the property meant we were cut from communicating with family and with no TV in the room, there was no alternative entertainment on the property.
Scenery and location was wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

JamaicaBreakfast could have had more variety to choose from. There was no WIFI, no TV, not much to do on property and the attractions are quit a distant away. No stores or fast food close enough to the property. The roads to get the property are terrible not recommended for pregnant women, people who suffer from migraines or medical issues because it will take you a long while to get to the nearest hospital.If want to get away from the outside world this is the place to go.
Breakfast was straight from the fruit trees on property (breadfruit and ackee) it’s was delicious and Ms Kate went the extra mile to have them fried for me. The view was nice. Staff friendly. Room was clean and good enough space for two people.

United States of AmericaMust provide TV and WiFi as advertised or remove them from advertisements.
The views and the hosts were great. The facilities were OK but there was no TV and WiFi as advertised. Breakfast on the first morning was very good, but the following morning was disappointing. The property is well maintained and is lush with floral and fruit vegetation. Property has great potential and hopefully will benefit from the new roadway construction currently underway.
