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 KingdomThere were no TVs. However, this gave us time to just relax. The shower was very powerful and hard to adjust, which meant my hair always got wet, but that's just a minor. The restaurant was a bit pricey for what you got, and there were days when not all food was available. For example: no bread for breakfast and although, there was a local shop at the end of the road.
This is a family run business. All family members were very helpful. The location, although out the way, was great, away from the hustle and bustle of busy roads and people. However, in an area where locals live who are very friendly. The beach could be seen from the grounds but was not accessible. However, I could walk around to Womans bay. The sea was quite rough but picturesque. The hotel room was cleaned daily, and the staff was always friendly and polite. Using local transport was great, easy to get around, and only cost 3.50 BBD to go anywhere. Buses run regularly and will stop anywhere to pick up and drop off. I would stay at this hotel again, and I would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing but enjoyable holiday.

United StatesLack of means to be shuttled anywhere. Very heavily dependent on having your own rental car or needing to pay for transportation often, so have a budget set aside for transportation to and from daily. The nuance: You trade a lack of access to the local availability of things to do for a much more tranquil experience instead of a tourist feel. Would highly recommend changing the shower head to be more accessible.
The area is very peaceful if you want to stay at a child free location. The staff is fantastic, able to work on booking excursions/transportation on your behalf, felt very safe and comfortable. The views are gorgeous. It has a VERY romantic scenery for us to celebrate our anniversary. The pool is great, with a direct view of the waves/coast.

United StatesI truly cannot find anything negative to say - my stay was wonderful.
OceanBlue is a true gem in Barbados... From the moment I arrived, the architecture and the artwork blew me away. The best way to describe this resort is as a Santorini village in the Caribbean where every building is like walking through an art gallery! But as nice and welcome as that part is, it's the staff that makes this place truly special. Literally from the moment you arrive, you are treated not as a customer or guest, but as family. From the owners, Liesje, James, and Lulu on down, everyone goes the extra mile to make you feel special and wanted - a true rarity these days. After just 24 hours there, I knew I'd be coming back soon - but I ended up almost immediately cutting a week-long stay at another location short to return to OceanBlue before I ended *this* Caribbean vacation! 100% recommend making this your first choice when visiting Barbados!

United StatesWhat a wonderful property! From the moment I arrived, I was treated like a friend. Liesje and the rest of the staff are so friendly and helpful. Also enjoyed my evenings at the bar chatting with Marc and Sally. Clean, comfortable, and quiet rooms. The staff arranged for transportation which was always prompt. The architecture around the property is amazing. Strong wifi throughout the property. It's not located on a swimming beach, but the pool area is equally nice. Close to the airport which is most convenient for an early morning departure. What a great place to end the holiday. Thank you again for your hospitality!

United Kingdomwhat wasn’t to like
last minute booking late in the day due to not getting on a flight… from the off James, Lulu & Liesje were very welcoming and accommodating, really nothing to much trouble. Hotel is close to the airport, on the coast with sea views, pool and on-site restaurant… very peaceful with a friendly atmosphere. When we return to Barbados we will definitely stay again if anything to say hello and for catch up with the team.

From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. Our flight arrived late in the evening and manager Leesha was there to greet us along with two staff who helped us with our bags to our room. She went above and beyond to enusre our stay was comfortable even giving us her own food as we arrived after everything was closed. The meals were not your average resort bulk food fare. The waitstaff were attentive and fun leaving us with smiles on our faces. The resort was clean and well kept. No surprises when you got to your room. The premises were also well maintained. Luxurious while still feeling welcoming and warm. Again I cannot stress how the staff went above to make us feel. My mother had accessibility needs and they even ensured the right type of vehicle come to pick us up. It was the attention to detail and their concern that really won us over. Thank you Ocean Blue for the memorable stay. Onika
