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 StatesOnly thing was the construction noise some mornings due to expansion, but not unbearable.
Everything! The hosts are great and helpful. Has everything you would need. We loved being away from tourist areas but rented a car so it was easy access for coming and going. And the private beach is definitely a nice touch!

United StatesWas a little ways out from the snorkeling beaches & town area. This required a car to go anywhere. However, it was likely much quieter than staying in town.
Condo was spacious & equipped so that you can cook food if you want. Great deck with furniture to utilize. Great little private (for guests only) deck with chairs, kayak, on the water looking at the Bay & Marina. Lots of parking. Great place to eat at the Marina called The Fish House. The owner was amazingly fast at responding to any question I had by text.

United StatesAll was good. Just be sure to rent a car, which you'll need to see the entire country in any case.
We had a lovely time at the Vistalmar villa during our dive trip to Aruba. We loved the convenience of the hotel being just a minute drive from the dive shop. After our morning dives, it was nice to relax in the comforts of the villa before heading out to explore the country. Angelique takes good care of the villa, keeping it stocked with small snacks and good coffee, and she provided us with helpful instructions and recommendations for places to go. She was kind enough to let us know about the Torch parade, which was a nice treat to be able to see. We liked the tranquility of being outside of the center and enjoyed relaxing on the private pier right along the water and watching the sunset. There's even a nice restaurant just a short walk down the road. We wanted to see the sights so we rented a car, and the villa was a great home base for easily reaching everything we wanted to see.

United KingdomThere is some noise from airport during the afternoons when most of the flights are in and out. On the whole the noise does not impact your stay especially if you prefer to be out and about. There are no flights at night and therefore zero sleep disruption.
Lovely condo with everything that you might need for a fabulous relaxing break away from the madness of the busy tourist areas of Orangestaad and Eagle/Palm Beach. Great service, cleanliness and facilities extremely good. Very good instructions and information from owner. Lovely relaxing deck area which we often had to ourselves as other residents didn't seem to use it.

United StatesWi-Fi was weak inside our apartment. Otherwise we have no complaints.
While the location is about 15 minutes from central town, the residential neighborhood makes it nice and quiet. That’s a plus if you want some peace from traffic and parties. The down side is you will need a car. The local store is very basic food-wise so plan on eating out and just doing breakfast at home. The gem is the host, Angelique. She is extraordinarily helpful and responsive, and clearly enjoys her guests. There is a house dog, Diva, who is as sweet an animal as you will encounter. Frankly even the many strays are polite! All-in-all, this was a good experience, close to the water and you can use the kayak too at no charge.
