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...).

Location is good Clean Friendly and helpful staff Close to beach and shops both walking distance from The Palm.

United StatesFelt like parts of the room could have been cleaned a bit better, mostly the bathroom and kitchen sink. Wish more things like oil, seasonings, bug spray and cleaning products were provided. I had stayed in 3 other accomodations/properies during my stay in Barbados were those things were present. Didn't love the fact that the pool towels are $5 USD a day and laundry is $20 per load feels like they were attempting to nickle and dime in those areas.
Found and booked this place after I checked out of a VRBO booking in the area that I did not like. Walked to the property to ask questions and the staff was able to accomodate my stay, store my luggage and allowed a slightly early check in once room was available. Staff answered all my questions and were helpful I like the simple design and color of the room. Bed was spacious, unit was very spacious with a built walk-in closet that made it easy to store luggage out of sight. Information and basic necessicites were provided.

United KingdomThere was no private space with this particular apartment. We used the pool area which was ok as we only stayed 2 days.
The area was quiet and away from the noise of traffic. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and spotlessly clean en-suite facilities. There is a particularly handy area equipped with a modern shower , toilet, and drink making facilities, ideal for people with late flights. It means you can book out of your room and relax around the pool for the day until you need to set off for the airport.

United KingdomToo remote being set at the back of Sunset Crest.
The Palm Resort is like a little oasis. Unfortunately a little too far out of Holetown to call convenient. As there are no hospitality conveniences on site we had to bring in daily rations from nearest supermarket, over a mile away.

Loved our stay at The Palms Resort. The 2 bed apartment was perfect for me and my friend. It’s in great condition and super comfortable.

United KingdomThe hotel is in the middle of a residential area so if you don’t have a rental car it’s a 15 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. I also didn’t like that pool towels and the crib cost extra
Our apartment was stylish and spacious and the kitchenette was well equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful and because it’s not a big resort we got to know the other guests

United KingdomJust 2 small things, I would have liked a second hand towel for my son as we only had one between us, which we did not share. and a roasting dish to cook a chicken.
It was set back from the hustle and bustle, so quiet and peaceful. And just a short walk to the beach, restaurants bars and shops. Such as Massy Supermarket for one. The pool was kept to a high standard and never got busy, always lounges available. The surroundings are so pretty and again kept to a high standard. I will come again with my husband next time.

United KingdomNothing really - I guess a small bar/cafe would be good but it’s a small complex - ideal as a base if you don’t want hotel experience and prefer self catering.
Location of apartments very good for busses and supermarket 15 mins walk- if you don’t have a car. Nice pool area and room available for check out day with showers which was very helpful. Apartments well equipped and housekeeping team friendly and great standard. Reception on hand for any queries /info - all in all a lovely place to stay.
