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...).

United States of AmericaDisappointed in the restaurant, their hours, meal quality and choices and overall the $1150 price for 2 nights price tag seems exorbitant. The property is nice and a great location but doesn't have 4 star luxury feel.
We enjoyed our stay and LOVED the pool overlooking the ocean. It was a quiet spot and the room was comfortable with the fridge and microwave for quick breakfast.

The property was located on a nice beach. They did a great job of keeping the beach clean.

United States of AmericaWould be great to have a continental breakfast in the lobby, since nothing is available on KCB and you need to drive to get something to eat first thing in the morning. Some late night food or drink options would be good too, maybe a vending machine with drinks or to stock the fridge in the room.
Great little beach, pool area, bikes are free to take out until sunset. Havana Jacks right next door is a wonderful spot for dinner. Overall fantastic experience for a few days in the Keys.

United KingdomThe bed blankets weren't very comfortable -- too light, though they may be better during the hot summer days.
We booked last minute and just for one night while traveling through the Keys, but the staff kindly moved us to the sea-view side. The jacuzzi was being repaired but we enjoyed the sea-side pool very much. A very pleasant beach with comfortable chairs and lounge chairs from which to enjoy the beach.

CanadaThe noise from the band at night carried over to our room a little late. Beach is nicely sanded and lovely but slopes off sharply. into the water. Hot tub could use an upgrade and higher temp. Don't expect Marathon to have a downtown centre like Key West.
The view was fantastic - great ocean and sky colours. Having the restaurant next door was so convenient - the food although limited in the number of selections was good. Pool is right at the shore line and decent size. Proximity to marine experiences at Dolphin research centre and the aquarium was great on a cloudy day. Also fairly close to the terrific beaches at Bahia Honda Park! The resort has a retro look and a family feel. It is laid back and relaxed in tone.

SwitzerlandLoads of seaweed all along the beach. It looks like it wouldn't take much work to rake them up The sand is filled with small wood pieces and stones, which makes it uncomfortable to lie on Beach facilities (tables, chairs) dirty Room really doesn't match the price. Set your expectations. What you really pay for is the beach.
One of the only "affordable" hotels on the Keys with access to a beach Free access to kayaks and paddles

United States of AmericaThe fan in the room was only working at one speed. I love having the fan on high, but putting the AC on a lower temperature worked out fine.
I love the atmosphere of the resort. It was laid back and our ocean view was worth paying for. Waking up in the morning, hearing the waves, and seeing the sunrise was so relaxing. The staff was friendly and accommodating when we needed them.
