Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesA lot of things can be fixed at that property , starting with the training of the staff and finishing with bringing that property to 2023 hospitality standards.
I guess you got what you pay for, if $150 bucks give you this much. They gave a fresh paint to the exterior , but inside everything is dated , unfriendly staff filthy hallways, remote for the TV was missing , I reported to front desk and she told me that no-one from maintenance is present , she can't help me... Overall very disappointed, we traveling frequently to Sarasota for family reasons, but this was the worst accommodation we had in a long while..

United StatesThe cleanliness was very subpar. The first room they had us in smelled like a public restroom and the floors were soaking wet. There was also a large amount of dust in the vents.
Beds were comfortable and the showers were nice. The tv also had a good selection of channels to choose from. Staff was very accommodating amongst a few issues.

United StatesMost staff didn't speak English and used it to get out of requests. Were there 3 night's without the room being cleaned. I was handed towels and when I moved aside she shook her head no. Both ice machines weren't working most of the time. We checked out Saturday and went home a day early. See my Google review.
Front desk staff were courteous. Free breakfast was good and kept stocked

United StatesThe room was tiny and there was bad customer service. The room above us was smoking cannabis and I had to report them. Also there were a lot of drug addicts all around the building. One lady was so high she fell on her face outside. The pool area was tiny and I had to request for maitence to clean it before we could use it. There were not enough towels in the room. It was just a poor experience for almost $200 a night.

United StatesThe room felt damp, and was kind of stinky. The toilet wouldn't flush. There was a spider in the room, too. The TV signal was bad sometimes, some channels were pixelated and hard to watch. And some channels weren't even available.
The staff was nice, the room did get quite cold. Having a refrigerator and microwave in the room was nice.

United StatesHotel, is ran down old. Rooms aren’t the cleanest and they have a very dirty moist smell. Not sure if it’s from the wet/dirty carpet. But the smell from the ac isn’t the best. Pool fence/door was broken. Overall not the worst option but definitely not the greatest mostly due to the smell in the room.
