How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWas ok for a quick book due to my flight being canceled. The room was very clean definitely a plus. The bed horrible, need to upgrade. I think I was sleeping on a box spring. The roof top restaurant was very nice. Ponds with Koi and waterfall and lots of plants. The staff, meh… not real talkative. They do offer airport shuttle, for $30US each way. Same as a regular cab fee. Not close walking distance to anything. But there is an ocean front walk way you can stroll.
Beds were terribly hard.

I wish the hotel had a pool, although it's supposed to be finished next year. Also wish it had a gym.

The room felt like a jail cell. It was dark. I kept getting bites on my body and stayed up all Night looking for bed bugs. I also slept with the light on. They moved me to a cleaner room with light and was able to sleep.
Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for staying with us. We’re happy to hear that you had a wonderful dining experience at our rooftop restaurant. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. Please note that we do not have bed bugs on the property; it's likely the bites were caused by mosquitoes, which are common during this time of year.

Verified reviewThe property was very clean
They have a restaurant on the roof. They 2 of the 3 nights they closed the restaurant (no notice) and held wedding receptions with music so loud we could hear every lyric sang until 11-11:30 pm (amazing feeling when we had to wake up at 5:30 both mornings for day long excursions). I happened to run into the manager during the day and asked him about it. He said June through August they have receptions multiple times a week. Again, no notice whatsoever to the guests that are staying there (not associated with the even).
Hi Deanna, Thank you for your feedback. We deeply apologize for the disruption caused by the rooftop events during your stay.
