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 reviewThe private beach was amazing
We requested a queen room, our original suite that was booked had a broken a/c unit so the front staff told us that we would have to stay in an alternate room until it was fixed and we would move the following day at 4pm. We were never moved, and the a/c unit was never fixed which left us in a room with a terrible view and location ( looking at the parking lot and the main hallway, no sunlight what so ever). Very disappointing that even after the 2nd night no staff bothered to follow up with us.

Verified reviewLocation, right on the beach. Room nice size
Had to wait quite some time for room to be ready arriving after 4p.. once in the room i didn't have wash clothes, toilette paper n the room n smelled spoiled n the room was supposed to had just been clean. the pool n jacuzzi was dirty the entire stay. Pool was cleaned on day four but jacuzzi was still dirty. Check out time is 11am. At 10:44am rushed to answer the banging on my door. I was in a towel had just otten out shower and had my tooth brush in my mouth. It was front desk staff reminding me it was my day to check out. I booked the vacation so I was well aware it was the day to leave. I was then asked by staff if I knew what time was Check out to which I was told it was 11am. I was highly offended by this as it was not past Check out time n I was literally getting myself ready to go. Also the room I was given had an adjoining door to room next door. It was like living with roommates I didn't know. I heard every conversation, pot pan rattle: I even heard everything that was going on in the bathroom next door. Not that the people were loud, the room set up, should be for families or groups staying together,nit foe those not familiar with each other I will say that requests for things in the room were handled rather quickly but I've never experienced anything like this in the past. I have been staying here for years. Not sure what changed. Not sure I'll return.

Verified reviewGreat location, we had an adjoining room which was great. The rooms had Aircon, fridge, microwave, kettle & a few dishes for self catering. There are 2 double beds in each room. Very clean but basic. The pool area is a bit rundown but still useable but the beach area is amazing 😍. I would stay here again.

Verified reviewI’d like to have an a porch and but need a full kitchen for cooking. I like to be on the ground floor and just a courtyard walk away from the beach.
I didn’t like how I was a word awoken every morning in the middle of the night by drunk people talking too loud and then I was expected to be quiet early morning in during the day.
Hi Karen, Thank you for your response. Apologies about the noise at night, we will address this with the property security. Overall it seems that you enjoyed your vacation and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Verified reviewIt is close to the beach and close to the bus station knutsford. Restaurants are every where and supermarket not far. People very friendly and helpful. Apartment have a good size and the kitchen is a plus.
Kitchen was dirty when you opened the cabinets. Rugs dirty! I booked a studio with terrace but I only get a apartment without balcony or terrace. The wet beach stuff can't get dry and you can't hang them anywhere! This is really bad. For that price I wouldn't recommend it. The pots in the kitchen broken or old and used. That was nasty. Not even a kitchen towel or a sponge.

Verified reviewI liked the proximity to the beach and the central pool on property.
There were roaches in the rooms that we stayed in over the period. These were the small ones that are usually found in furnishings of unkept homes. This made sleeping very uncomfortable knowing something was crawling all over the room and could get in your travel case. I had to buy an insecticide to spray the room.
