Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomWe had a room that overlooked the front so not a great view. Rooms are looking a little tired.
Great staff on the front desk and the breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice. Good location, a short walk to the harbour and downtown. The bed was so comfortable. Lovely little touch of champagne in room as my husband was celebrating his birthday

United StatesSome staff kind and competent, others gruff and unsmiling. Bed and pillows were super comfortable and clean, with no chlorine or nasty perfume smells. Spacious room, but lighting too dim to read well even with desk light. Large kitchen with oven and microwave, fridge and freezer, glasses to use and utensils. Very nice. Bicycle use was excellent with easy to use Townie bicycles, with lock and basket. Helmets are provided though I brought my own. Fun!

United StatesVery easy to notice that toilet in our unit and the one above us had a leaking toilet flapper..this causes water in toilet tank to leak out and then refill itself. Time cycle varied between 10 to 20 minutes..very annoying and caused loss of sleep..and presumably water usage for complex. Due to busy vacation schedule, we pretty much only slept at Spyglass. No daytime hours spent there. We informed Ft. Desk on check out…he was understanding and will have maintenance check it out…other then that it was all good. I do have to mention the e mails asking for addl.monies to guarantee us getting a balcony unit.which I had already paid for when booking was disturbing. Is it booking tactic or Spyglass?..then asking for monies to add addl. checkout time..not appreciated.
Location…very clean unit.

United StatesI didn’t like the fact that the door to the pool lead out to a balcony that is shared with other rooms. It felt like our room was too easily accessible to others. Located is more of a motel.
The parking was easy, pool was lovely, and Mickey was very helpful and good energy.
