Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There are three major issues: 1. We struggled to lock the glass sliding door for ages. It's faulty and needs repair. 2. The bed head was hanging off the wall and made a banging racket every time we moved in the bed. We had to wedge a towel between it and the wall to keep it from banging around. It's faulty and needs repair. 3. I suggest you replace the piece of laminate in the bathroom underneath the vanity sink It makes the bathroom look shabby. Further Suggestions: * A hand towel rack/hook right next to the sink would be helpful, to prevent walking to the opposite wall in the room, wetting the floor. * You can hear everything going on in neighbouring rooms, and you can hear people walking and talking up and down the hallway at all hours of the night/early morning. Investing in soundproof insulation would have been a great idea. * I really hate plastic dining chairs and the quality of the interior design of the room would improve greatly just by changing to proper dining chairs. * A soaking wet washer was left on the sink in the bathroom, but that's a simple accidental oversight.
It's not the Ritz but it is tidy and clean. We had Room 37 again - the same room that we stayed in before. LOVE having the spa bath after a hard day's work on our block of land. I had a quick chat with the proprietor on check-in. He offered some good suggestions on local places to dine. Overall, we'd be happy to stay there again. The soft green feature wall with the beachy artwork is cheerful, fresh and lovely and the bed is comfortable. Again, we LOVE the spa bath after a hard days' work. Thank you.

Paid for Spa and it didn't work. Disappointing. Reception was closed, too late to rectify. Very limited instructions in info folder
Pleasant reception. Comfortable and clean with everything we needed, provided. Food, drink and service at the Country Club were great and very convenient after a long day driving.

Would have liked a bigger fridge so I could have a few ice cubes for my rum! ha ha
Clean and comfortable. The location was a 'stones throw' from everything, and we had a very convenient car park near our entrance. The rooms were all ground level, which means no stairs, YAY! (my elderly mother was very happy about that). The staff were very friendly and very helpful. We had a great stay.
