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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaNothing . Nice basic accommodation!!!
Great location across the road from the Atlantic Ocean. Fitz was very friendly and accommodating. Being out of season it was very quiet but lovely. Dina’s was a great restaurant, very close to Rest Haven. Apparently Mick Jagger may have stayed here?!?!

United KingdomThe property looks exactly like the photos and was the perfect size for two people for two nights. There was no hot water but due to the temperature outside this was a blessing in disguise! It was great to see the east side of Barbados outside of the touristy areas however the beach by the property is not safe for swimming due to large waves which we fell asleep listening to. Bathsheba is very quiet and finding somewhere to eat in the evening was a bit difficult as most places shut at 4pm. Our host Fitz was very welcoming and friendly and was happy to give us advice of where we could find food! He was also very flexible with checkout.

United KingdomYou will see from other reviews that the accommodation is very basic and could do with updating. However it was very clean and the location cannot be beaten. Very quiet and well connected by bus to other parts of the island and close to some wonderful gardens. We loved sitting on the terrace watching the young dudes surfing.

United KingdomA small investment in kitchen equipment and crockery would vastly improve the experience.
The peace of the area especially in the mornings and afternoons (when the tour buses weren’t there) The proximity to the long windswept beach, waves crashing down and watching the surfers.

United KingdomInteresting shower.
The location is second to none, we spent our evenings sitting on the porch looking out over the ocean drinking many a rum punch. Sparsely furnished and in need of modernization but if like us you can overlook these points, you will have a wonderful time. Bathsheba is a small village with few restaurants but with all the feel of the Caribbean. If you want something away from the busy resorts this is the place for you.

United KingdomThe kitchen area would benefit from refurbishment.
We loved the location of the property. We loved the comfy seats on the porch and the bed was comfy. The accommodation is of the older authentic style. Although the area is quiet there are good bus links. There are a few well priced local restaurants in the area. The one on the sea front is expensive!

United KingdomFitz was very friendly and always available to help. The location is the real selling point - we stayed in Matilda which was on the front overlooking the sea. There are a few bars and cafes in the village but no shop so take anything you need. Regular busses pass through going where you want.
