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 KingdomMany businesses are closed due to the devastating hurricane last September 22. Unfortunately we did not know and were not informed when booking about the hurricane hence why some of our scores are a bit low. It isn't the owner's fault. The pool was obliterated so we were unable to have that option. We thought we would be eating at the hotel but their dining room is in need of much restoration/rebuilding. We didn't like the fact that the photos and description on booking.com were so inaccurate.
A lovely lady greeted us and explained that the only supermarket would close at 7 and directed us to the only restaurant that was open (food was amazing though). (Many businesses are closed due to the devastating hurricane last September 22). Unfortunately we did not know when booking about the hurricane hence why some of our scores are a bit low. It isn't the owner's fault. The pool was obliterated so we were unable to have that option. The beach was only 100 yards and was very nice, water was warm :) The room was clean and the beds comfortable, bathroom was clean, kitchenette was well stocked with plates, cutlery, pans etc. However, even though our visit was spoilt due to the island being devastated by the hurricane, we are glad to provide the Island Inn with much needed payment to help them rebuild.

United States of AmericaHow to sum up this experience? Well it was worth the 2.5 hour drive! This hotel is cute and simple, with an excellent view of the ocean. At night, the light pollution is so minimal that the stars and planets are incredibly visible. Truly a sight to see. I believe that I saw more stars here than I ever have with my own eyes. You can even see the Milky Way. The people are kind and the staff are very helpful! I would recommend that you bring bug spray if you plan on sitting on your porch/balcony or walking around at night. My stay at Island Inn will not be forgotten any time soon.

United States of AmericaThe no-see-ums were vicious, Be-sure to bring bug spray, if you forget, the office has it available. Spray well before you head to the beach and you'll be fine.
There is nothing to dislike about the Island Inn. The beach is just steps away and if you're looking for shells or fishing its there. The room was spacious and very clean with good amenities. The Inn was close to great restaurants, nature trails and more. Ken at the front desk was amazing taking the time to explain everything about the property and things to see on the island.

United States of Americaonly one thing the sand fleas very tiny can't see them, normally at dusk when you want to take that beautiful sunset picture and bam those flea bit you all over making it very unpleasant. but the resort sells a spray which I recommend and then you'll be ok. the natural spray works too if you don't want the other brand.
excellent location, I recommend staying in the bottom rooms located as close to the water. easy access to the pool, beach. just feels a bit private.

United States of AmericaHaving a view of the Gulf of Mexico was a favorite. There is nothing more soothing than the sound of the rolling waves.
The property was clean. We were celebrating our 54th wedding anniversary. Upon arriving in our room we were greeted with towels shaped into 2 swans with a beautiful note and 2 champagne glasses, as well as a complementary bottle of champagne chilling in the refrigerator. We had a view of the Gulf of Mexico from our room and a screened in porch. The landscaping was trimmed beautifully. The restaurant food was delicious and Danny, our waiter, was excellent. We asked for his recommendations and we were not disappointed. The presentation of the food was great. Our dining experience was wonderful.
