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.).

The property does not look like the pictures. The room was outdated and felt unsafe. The room door was faulty and the location of the room was in a poorly lit alleyway.

Hotel Review: A Nightmare Stay Rating: ⭐ (1/5) I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn anyone thinking of booking a stay at this hotel. My experience was nothing short of a nightmare, and I would urge anyone to steer clear. First off, we arrived for a two-night stay with a non-refundable booking. Upon checking in, we were greeted by an indifferent receptionist who refused to show us the room before payment—something I’ve never encountered at any hotel, especially when I’m paying upfront. Big red flag #1. Once we settled into the room, things went from bad to worse. The toilet didn’t flush—I’m talking about an unfixable, unusable toilet. How does a hotel not ensure basic amenities like this are working? Big red flag #2. Next, we were shocked to learn that they charge extra for towels. Yes, towels. And when we asked for additional towels (which is standard in any hotel), they acted as though we were asking for something unreasonable. Big red flag #3. The room itself was untidy and poorly maintained—dust on every surface, and an overall feeling of neglect. It honestly felt like we were staying in a place that didn’t care about cleanliness or guest satisfaction. I get that not every hotel is perfect, but this was on another level of bad. Now, for the real kicker: the so-called “security” outside the hotel. The person on duty was sitting at the gate, smoking cannabis and literally sleeping on the job. I couldn’t believe it. This is supposed to be the person ensuring the safety of guests? Honestly, it felt like a scene from a bad movie. To add insult to injury, the reception door wasn’t even locked during the night. We had to double-check to make sure no one could just walk in off the street. I can’t think of a single reason why a hotel wouldn’t secure its front entrance, especially at night.

Verified reviewNothing abt this run down place
Place is nasty and have a lot of prostitutes in the building. Upon my initial arrival at said hotel on July 29 approximately 8:30PM, I was greeted with epic disappointment and deplorable conditions. Not only was the facility filthy with roaches and rodents and deteriorated, but the visual sight and presence of drug dealing was carried out brazenly. Loitering was at its peak and individuals were even seen brandishing weapons without hesitating to conceal even when other passerby saw what’s going

There is no proper parking facility and for that reason I could not stay. So I did not stay at the location.

Verified reviewLocation to town.
I stayed at the hotel for 12 nights, and my room was only cleaned once, six days after I checked in. The rooms are damp and in need of significant upgrades. I requested to speak to a manager but am still waiting for a response. I was upset because the hotel advertised cable televisions in the rooms, but there were none, which feels like false advertising. Additionally, it claimed that rooms are cleaned every couple of days, which is not true. Overall, this hotel does not provide good value for money and seems unsuitable for long stays like mine.

Verified reviewSo remind you am a native Mobay is my playground,so I know exactly where this hotel was located in the middle of the hip strip.which is amazing cause am someone who loves the city and the beaches and everything is close by you can walk from point A to b so if you like the busy city life this a perfect spot.and police is on street for extra security if needed 24/7 I would definitely recommend,only one negative the damm steps.so try to book a room on the front,for the suitcases it’s more easier,but the security here are very helpful.
I just didn’t like the back steps if you have kids I would suggest booking a front room otherwise.i felt safe nobody troubled my stuff .

Verified reviewThe location was ideal. The middle of Montego Bay on the most active party scene. Unfortunately management needs to upgrade their facility considerably to maximise a prime piece of Realestate that they own.
Even though I was on the second floor in a very old outdated but comfortable accommodations my view had a lot to be desired. The back end of a roof that needed repair wasn’t good.

No parking. I drove and most of the area around is paid or reserved parking. I got in late at night. The security was nice enough and told me to park it in the driveway/entrance. Was a minor inconvenience.

The Male staff was welcoming and protective over all of the guests and the building… There are some real Men protecting the hotel and guests 24/7…
The outside traffic is very loud most days but more on weekends… This area has many attractions and tourist gift shops…

Ants are a part of nature, they hunt in search of food, we do not poison our property with chemicals instead we keep food where they are meant to be. this ant trail you saw could be caused by many things that has nothing to do with nasty. a warning its going to rain, an earthquake or just you kept food in your room microwave for too long. whatever the reason is you could have handled it better.

Verified reviewNo parking was provided, thanks to the gentlemen who assisted us with a park by the gain gate. The help desk check in representative was helpful and pleasant.
The bedhead make noise for the entre night, its not attached to the bed. There was no beach. This information about the beach is fabricated. For the bathroom One of the wash cloth was a used, no shower gel was provided only two small hand bar soap. There was no balcony. Customer services was extremely poor and the manager was unpleasant while speaking to him on the phone. ( He's up in the mountain) When asked about the additional excess charges, the representative could not explain and the manager stated that the 10% was for gct and could not explain what booking. com charges and continuously blamed booking.com for the excess charges.
Did not read the reservation. The guest stayed in a room with a balcony. The beach is right across the street, just as the listing states. Listing and messages to all guests clearly say that no parking is available. My advice to other hosts. Do not let them stay; they will disrupt all other guests staying on the property.

The hotel is on the main street abd extremely noisy . It was very difficult to have a good night's rest.
Its best to read the description and ask questions before booking a stay anywhere, makes a big difference especially if you need special conditions
