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 room freshener overpowered us so we just took it out.
Wonderful stay in a bucolic setting amidst the easily accessible hustle bustle of Mallory Square. My parents ran a bed & breakfast in a house in CT that was built in 1706. I was surrounded by antiques, fireplaces in every room, and the creaks of old wood floors. I walked into our room at The Porch on Frances and was immediately brought back there. Very easy living and a couple of "hot ticket characters" made us feel right at home. PS. Those characters made sure we had some champagne to celebrate our anniversary!

United StatesWe had the best stay here and we highly recommend it. They called us before our trip to see if we needed help booking any activities while we were there. Jeff made us coffee every morning and gave us wonderful suggestions of places to eat during our stay. I could go on and on about this property! The rooms are updated and clean. It was in a great location. We could walk to everything and if we did need an Uber we were able to get one in under 2 min. We will definitely be back! Thank you Jeff for such a great stay!

There are no negative thoughts concerning this property. The location, cleanliness, comfort, and staff were all amazing. Honestly, I can be very hard to please at times and I can't think of anything regarding my stay that was not up to my standards or exceeded my standards. First rate.

United StatesParking as with anywhere in Key West is difficult. No early morning HOT coffee but Joe's down the block is perfect for a delicious Cafe Con Leches. Mirror over the sink was a bit high for this short person but did have a full length mirror also in bathroom.
Beautifully restored home. Walkable to downtown but far enough away to be quiet. The owner was very helpful, attentive and great to talk to about Key West. The other staff were exceptional as well. Loved the patio outside our rooms perfect for afternoon resting or morning coffee.

My wife and i, Arrived Friday the 9th of Sept and stayed til the 11th, was greeted as we arrived. Host took our bags and walked us into the check-in area. And explained everything to us about the Key West area restaurants, site seeing and attractions. The room was amazing from the big king sized bed to the beautiful shower and bathroom area. Was warned about the roosters being loud but we barely heard any. Went shopping, site seeing, to the beach and host also gave us drink, food and attraction discount tickets which was awesome. One hell of a place to stay, my wife Emily and i would definitely come here again it’s like visiting family and staying in an extra room. Quiet and convenient area of the Keys. Joshua and Emily
