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 reviewIncredible view. Spacious appartement. Christine is a kind and attentive host. The place is very clean. There are some very good restaurants at crawling distance. Perfect spot to explore the north of Dominica, which is less touristy and has some very nice beaches.
It is a long drive from the ferry port, quite challenging when it’s dark, but doable . The main attractions in the south are quite far for a day trip
Thanks for leaving your review Mark. It was delightful to meet you both. Good to know that you enjoyed Dominica. Take care & good luck for your future.

Verified reviewThis place holds a truly special place in our hearts! A hidden gem in every sense, with the most incredible location—perched right above the ocean, giving you the feeling of being surrounded by the sea. The soothing sounds of the waves create an atmosphere of pure serenity. What made our experience even more unforgettable was Christine. Her genuine care and kindness feel like they belong to a bygone era. She was always attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Christine has a remarkable soul, and we sincerely hope to meet her again someday. Thank you for everything—you gave us the most amazing time! Visiting Dominica was an extraordinary opportunity, and we are forever grateful for the memories we made here.
Thanking you...... so much for your review. It was a great pleasure to host you. You were perfect guests. Sending you both...... best wishes for the future.

Verified reviewI liked how big the shower was and the ample amount of hot water available. There's a restaurant downstairs that's open for lunch and dinner. This occumodation does not come with breakfast but you can find good options near by.
The room gets pretty hot at night even with windows open. It's not the fault of the host, that's just how hot this location gets. A few extra fans would be wonderful.
Hi Ilya...... Thanks for your review. Also for leaving the room nice. Wishing you safe travels.

Verified reviewClean well presented and decorated property. Had everything I needed a nice shower was located by plenty of restaurants and bars. Close to little market shop and ATM I found the WiFi to be better than on other islands really quick to upload Facebook posts and have video chats with friends. The host was fantastic and the reason I picked the place… very accommodating and went above and beyond.
Some of the locals could be a bit loud and party but it didn’t go on too late and was only on the weekends… if I wasn’t a single woman alone I would have joined them lol. You can’t really swim at the beach there due to the coral but it was still beautiful and I’m just being picky
Thanks so much for your review. It was just great to meet you. Enjoy the rest of your vacation exploring the Caribbean.

Verified reviewCalibishie Sandbar was our first stop and a great way to kick off our two weeks in Dominica! Christine was excellent, the balcony over the ocean perfect for unwinding and there was everything we needed. Great wifi, equipped kitchenette for light food prep, easy to find, walking distance to restaurants and a mini market.
Thanks for your review Hilary.

Verified reviewWe were directly over the ocean with a beautiful deck and a view to Marie Galante and Guadeloupe. We loved opening the windows to hear the waves and feel the sea breeze. It was very spacious with quirky but charming decor. The bathroom was large with a nice shower. Very clean and reasonably priced. Close to restaurants. We had the large room upstairs. We did not hear any street noise at night.
There is not much parking space on the busy street.
Thanks for your review Philippa.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect. There were three restaurants within 1 minute walk that were all exceptional. Location is 20 minutes from the airport and the best beach in Dominica...Batibau. The host was extra informative and sweet. If you decide to stay close to the Capital you would have to drive 1.5hrs to get there compared to the 20minutes in Calibishe.
Everything was perfect for me.
Thank you so much for your review...... Good to know you were pleased with your accommodation & thanks for leaving it clean & tidy. You managed to visit so many places on the island, amazing !!! It was a pleasure to meet you both.

Verified reviewSize of room, cleanliness, friendliness of proprietor.
Water pressure in shower was weak. She knows and is looking into it.
Thanks for your review Karen. I did offer to check the shower, when you were here. But you declined the offer. The hot water comes from the solar heating on the roof, it appears that, you either didn't turn it on full or didn't let it run long enough. Hope you enjoy the remainder of your stay in Dominica.

Verified reviewThis is an extraordinary place. You cannot get closer to the sea. On the balcony, you are above it. Probably due to the proximity to the sea,, the temperature in the room is always perfect, no air-conditioning needed. The host is very charming and helpful. The rooms are decorated tastefully with a beautiful blend of British and Caribbean style.
The bar is under renovation and was still closed.

Verified reviewFantastic little waterfront property with only two rooms, the bigger one with the balcony upstairs is just simply incredible. The place is well located in Calibishie within a very short walking distance from restaurants, grocery shops, ATM and fresh fruit/vegetable market. The room is tidy and clean and super comfortable, with a well equipped kitchenette and a balcony overlooking the ocean that is just the perfect spot for having breakfast or an afternoon read. The best thing about the place, however, is the host Christine. She is a super delightful person, friendly and helpful always. We were fortunate enough to spend Christmas Day with her and her expat friends in the restaurant/bar area of the guesthouse and it was a truly memorable experience. We can only recommend the place! (FYI the restaurant/bar is temporarily closed but will likely re-open in 2023)
Thank you so much for your very informative review. It was a delight to have you stay with us..... Especially over the Christmas Holiday time, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the company of the ex-pat community. Sending you both best wishes for the New Year.
