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 reviewI never got to have an opinion
I booked through Booking.com at, I believe €75, but was told on arrival that the charge would be $81 IN CASH. Why did booking,.com not tell me this on booking???. Having had my money and cards stolen, I assumed that booking.com had - as previously - debited my account upon booking. Why was I not told this? I am not happy - this has caused me major difficulties - happy to give full details if you wish

Verified reviewWas fairly cheap, which was certainly reflected in the accommodations. Nice hosts. Felt mostly safe.
Stained sheets, no blanket, awful large and firm pillows. No shower head. Some drinking water would have been nice. Noisy neighbours and kinda sketchy neighborhood.

Verified reviewLocation was convenient. Property was clean. Availability of kitchen and cooking utensils were good. Parking was secured and guaranteed. Ability to do own laundry is convenient. Staff was ok.
Upkeep and maintenance of property leaves a lot to be desired: Always leaking pipes and face basin in bathroom leaves floor flooded most of the times; leaking bathtub at the side to floor; leaking pipe in kitchen flooding the floor; A/C not cool enough; clothes iron leaking water; no cable as advertised; poor management of parking and not enough parking space to to accommodate vehicles for all the guests causing anxiety and confusion.

Verified reviewThe bathroom sink and entire bathroom needs to be cleaned properly. The bed linen and towels should be clean and fresh. You could see multiple hair on the face towel and the white sheets were also dirty.

Verified reviewThe room was a good size and comfortable. The owner and staff were very helpful. The owner can take you to Glistening Waters/Luminous Lagoon if you want to visit that attraction. The location is good, a short walk from shops and restaurants, but in a quiet area.

Verified reviewCozy room with a terrace in laid-back Falmouth! It‘s safe to stroll around day & night, and nice attractions nearby. Our room was really clean, high wooden ceiling, makes you feel comfortable.
Kitchen equipment is left to the guests to clean up, and some of them don’t do their job… so when we were there, the kitchen was a mess, but we managed to cook.

Verified reviewThe lady who was in charge was nice. She met us and escorted us upstairs to the rooms. She apologised that the AC wasn't working in one of the rooms. She brought us another towel for each room. She let us keep some food in her fridge in the kitchen. There was only one outlet in the room, but the lady brought us an extension cord so we could plug our multiple electronics devices in.
The AC wasn't working in one room. My daughter had to leave the windows open and was covered in mosquito bites in the morning.There was no hot water (they were getting the tank repaired -- so the water was off for part of the time we were there -- but it wasn't working even after that) and the shower pressure was just above a trickle. The beds were not super comfortable and the pillows were very hard, high and uncomfortable. We were able to park inside the gate, but twice when we wanted to leave there was a car parked out front blocking the gate and we had to track down the driver so we could get out. The neighbourhood was noisy with roosters and dogs most of the night.

Verified reviewI stayed one night to go to the bioluminesce Bay. If you are expecting a hotel type atmosphere, this is not it. If you want to experience jamsica, this is the spot. You will have a room in a home. Room was clean and comfortable. Bring your toiletries. Rooms are upstairs. Host was attentive. There is gated parking.
