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 reviewWe stayed in the room with kitchenette, as we like to have the option to cook while traveling. We loved sitting out on our back patio and making use of the outdoor shower. We were also welcome to use the upper deck, which has a beautiful view, since there were no guests staying in that room at the time. Our check-in was easy, and overall, we enjoyed our stay.
There's not much to say, but one thing that I would suggest is to upgrade the outdoor furniture, as it's heavy and bulky.
Greetings and thank you for your lovely review. Your input is valued and helpful. Our solid cedar wood furniture is hand made by a local carpenter and we agree very heavy. We do support local industries where we can. Choice is limited and in keeping with Simple and Natural do not want plastic. We will talk with our craftsman and see if we can lighten the load. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you soon again. Blessings from the Kudehya Team

Verified reviewBeautiful views from the terrace
Very disappointing - the room needs some significant TLC, cracked tiles, old fridge and a very dated bathroom. There were only 3 pillows on the bed, and the room was too light at night due to the garden lighting which was left on all through the night. The furniture was slightly the wrong side of shabby chic and someone switched off our water pump so that we were unable to have a shower on our last night/morning. There is no air conditioning so I would imagine that it is VERY hot in summer as it was borderline too hot in January.
Hello Ruth, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Truly sorry to hear your stay with us did not meet your expectations. Regarding the water issue, our staff does not control the water pump while guests are in the room, and the only reason for a lack of water would be an issue with the city supply and even so we have a reserve. We are sorry that you did not approach us while Marco and I were on site to address any concerns. We understand that you may be accustomed to a more high-end hotel experience, and we truly appreciate different expectations. At Kudehya, we take pride in maintaining a clean, simple, and rustic environment that reflects the natural beauty of our surroundings. We don’t sugarcoat what Kudehya is—we offer a laid-back, modest stay that may not be for everyone, especially those looking for a more luxurious setting. With that being said, we are always working to improve. Duly noted that full renovations can only be completed during the low season to avoid disturbing our guests, we have already taken steps to refresh the rooms for a better experience for everyone going forward. Thank you again for your feedback Bless

Verified reviewIt's a little paradise next to the beach, with a garden that is frequented by the Doctors Bird and many more. The room with terrace gives a magnificent 240° view with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Peggy offers drinks and conversation in the bar. We decided not to go anywhere else, only the next-door beachclub Lashings for dinner and drinks, Sunday night music and a small but nice swimming pool.
Nothing. It's perfectly suited for a couple, but also convenient enough for a couple + 1 child.
Perfect slice of paradise indeed! Great to know you enjoyed my company, as I did too. I'm grateful you found everything perfect and had such a relaxing time. Hope to welcome you all back soon!

Verified reviewGreat little apartments (w/ or w.o kitchen) next to the beach, little oasis, quite, comfy and spacious. Great host and helper on the property. Bed are big, large bathroom including walk-in showers. Littler veranda to hang out. Definitely recommend to stay with Peggy when you are at Treasure Beach.
Always happy to have you stay with us at Kudehya. Appreciate the recommendation, along with your good property description. Happy travels. Blessings from the Kudehya Team

Verified reviewThe house has a beautiful garden and a fantastic location for both hiking/exploring and for going to the local restaurants and small bars. The hosts are friendly, warm and welcoming but never overbearing. The area is quiet and all you can hear are the waves. The safest swimming spot is very close by, and there are a couple of small conveniences stores within 10min walk too. The whole property and set up are very authentic - you won’t feel like you’re anywhere (with the currently dominant white and grey/wood interiors and aesthetic), you will feel like you are in Jamaica. The house has murals by the local artist and is tastefully decorated. The view from the balcony is unrivalled!
We give thanks for your great review and information for our future guests. We hope your onward travels in JA were rewarding. Pleasure meeting you both and thank you for choosing Kudehya. Stay well. The Kudehya team

Verified reviewWow. The architecture and grounds are Jamaica unique. The person who built it seemed to have an inspiration for round shapes and gardens that flow together. We booked the upper room with the balcony which was stunning for its views of Calabash Bay and the starry nights. The colors and sculptures only added to the experience. There is a tiny walk down a trail right to the beach where you might take a detour on a hammock. A ver nice outdoor shower to rinse off the saltwater and sand. The host, Marco was fantastic. He knew how to work with people like us who didn’t know the ins and outs of getting around in Jamaica. He has a very nice van that he uses to shuttle people when he is available. He even took is to a lesser known waterfall Breadnut Falls in Maggoty, where he had never himself been as most travelers go to YS Falls from there. The whole place is immaculate and our room was spotless. Cleanest place we stayed in Jamaica. We met the cleaner who seemed to solely clean all the rooms. She was so nice and we could tell she was on top of her game. Can’t overlook saying something about Treasure Beach and the community there. The Kudeha was within walking distance either by beach or road to the restaurants and shops, but only for a relatively fit person. Not wheelchair accessible or sidewalks. One has to be able to step out of the way of cars and motorcycles on a narrow road. We enjoyed the walk and felt totally safe. The local folk are kind and helpful. Best breakfasts are at Smurfs Cafe. There are numerous very good restaurants on the beach to enjoy the vibe and sunset. We found Eggys to be a good meeting place for dominoes and beers and more conversations with locals and travelers alike. The wellness center in treasure beach has walk-in yoga every morning at 8:30 am for a reasonable price. The Yogi Sasisiva knew just how to work with a class of passers-through. The setting was lovely.

Verified reviewKuDehya Guesthouse made my vacation dreams come true. We stayed in the Dehya room (upstairs) which has a big, partly shaded balcony overlooking the sea. Ceiling fan, screens on the windows and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocky shoreline made it perfect. Our room was freshly painted with a comfy bed and well appointed bathroom. Coffee and tea are provided but bring your own milk. Our friend stayed in the Seagrape room downstairs which has 2 outdoor sitting areas. KuDehya is at the end of a little street and very quiet location within walking distance to restaurants. The gardens are lovely and there is a beach for swimming about 5 minutes walk. Marco, the onsite caretaker, is the perfect host. He’s available when you need him and has great suggestions for local dining and sightseeing. We hope to return!
I didn’t like that I had to leave! Next time I’ll take water shoes so I can swim more places.
