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 place was lovely, full of greenery and very pleasant to stay in. The staff was lovely and the stunning Judy really helped me and I would definitely go back.
The only problem was that my room faced the sun, so I would sometimes wake up from the heat because the fan didn't help, but other than that it was a very good stay
Thank you for your wonderful review! We were delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful greenery and found our staff, especially Judy, to be helpful and lovely. We appreciate your feedback regarding the room temperature and will certainly look into solutions to improve comfort for our guests. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay!

Verified reviewThe hostel is well situated in Negril, close to many restaurants and to the sea and not too far from Seven Mile Beach or the cliffs. We rented bicycles from a shop closeby which allowed us to go around Negril easily. Sue and her team were really nice and quick to answer to our questions. The guesthouse is pretty, with many different places to chill in the garden.
There was a lot of mosquitoes in our cottage by the end of our stay so we had to sleep completely covered under the sheets. A mosquito net and an electric swatter could be a good addition to the equipment because our sprays were not enough (plus it is quite toxic to use that much).
Many thanks for your kind words. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your time at my Judy House in Negril and made the most of exploring on bicycles. Nutsy (bicycle man) is indeed a fantastic neighbour always ready to help! We appreciated your feedback regarding the housekeeping and mosquito situation. We strive to ensure every quest has a comfortable stay, and we are happy to provide sprays and nets on request. For future travellers, packing your own protection is always a good idea when visiting the tropics, plus keeping unmeshed doors closed. We hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing Jamaica experience. One Love Sue !

Verified reviewWe had a lovely stay at Judy house. Finally we met other young travellers and we cooked our first meal ourselves here. It was a pleasure chilling at the garden and we loved the honesty bar.
Important: get your mosquito repellent. Once the shower ran out of water, but thank you Sue for all the help and kindness.
Thank you for your lovely review! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed meeting other travelers and had a great time cooking and relaxing with new friends from all over the world. I apologize for the inconvenience with the water tanks, but I'm glad we were able to quickly resolve it by daybreak. It was a pleasure to host you both, and I hope to see you again in the future!

Verified reviewIt is really lovely place in Negril. It is bit long walk to centrum or 7 miles beach but location of judys house is safety. Receptionist was nice. Communication with Sue (owner) was with no problems and she also gave us some useful infos. They booked driver Rita for us for our long trip to pelican bar a blue hole. Rita is the best driver on island. I will miss my morning coffee and sunrising view.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time at Judys House in Negril! Your gratitude for the hospitality and safety of the location is evident, and I am glad to hear that communication went smoothly. It is great that you had a chance to experience the local attractions, like Pelican Bar and the Blue Hole, with a trusted driver like Carita. Morning coffee with sunrise views sounds like the perfect way to start the day! Thank you for sharing your experience, and I hope your next visit is just as lovely. One Love .. Sue!

Verified reviewThe little board houses are nice and colorful and the kitchens are equipped. Pleasant village atmosphere and friendly staff. It is a very affordable option in a touristic town.
The room is a very narrow board house. One of the walls was a partition with no sound proof and there was a shower on the other side, you could hear everything. Seemed that the cleaning of bathrooms is up to the users. The hostel is situated on a hill, which is far from the main and not convinient at all without a car.
Dear Ronnie Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the colorful board houses, well-equipped kitchens, and the friendly village atmosphere. It's great to know our staff made a positive impression and that you found our accommodation affordable. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the room layout, sound proofing, and bathroom cleanliness. Your insights help us identify areas for improvement. We'll certainly look into enhancing sound insulation and reviewing our cleaning protocols to ensure a more comfortable stay for all our guests. We understand the location may pose challenges without a car, and we're always open to suggestions on how to improve accessibility. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience. One Love ... Sue

Verified reviewThis is a nice little cottage, especially for 2 days. You can even buy some groceries at the desk at a reasonable price. Teddy the dog was very friendly! Self check in was easy but make sure to read the instructions! Nice quality/price ratio.
The mattress was terrible. I felt every single spring. The rooms are basically wooden cabins so it can get really hot (but fans help) and you hear every noise from outside, especially neighbor’s dogs barking all night. So don’t forget your ear plugs.
Dear Dorian Thank you for your thoughtful review! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage and found the self check-in process easy. It’s great that you appreciated the convenience of buying groceries at the desk and that Teddy the dog added to your experience! I apologise for the discomfort you experienced with the mattress and the noise from outside. Your feedback is invaluable, as we aim to improve our guests’ experiences.

We hope you had a memorable stay overall, and we appreciate your insights! One Love .. Sue!

Verified reviewWhen we arrived the place wasn't even clean for us to check in we ended up checking in around 6pm
The house was connected to other rooms which meant that if someone else would have booked a room in the same house we would have been sharing living space.. which is ridiculous. There were always people in the garden that weren't staying in the house
This review is incorrect and CONFUSES US as your room Star Apple a single budget backpacker room was made clean and ready for you the day before your arrival by our Housekeeper as Saturday when you arrived was her day off. You did not ever give us a time of arrival but Rasta Security Martel made sure he was there for you. He reports no problems and confirmed the 'WE ' you talk about about was just you ALONE in a single room. The Backpacker rooms are 3 rows of double and single budget backpacker rooms. Noone of them are part of a "house" so we are very confused by comments made in your review. "There was always people around that were not staying in the 'house" There is no house ??? ANOTHER CONFUSION Plus we have tight security "A strict NO VISITORS POLICY which means only guests and staff are allowed on Judy House property. PLease either delete or edit this review please Darren at certainly not our Judy House you are are reviewing about. One Love ... Sue

I warned you about the storm, you chose to come anyway and then print your nastiness which is really not fair. Still - Apologies for your experience, as you felt the terrible tropical storm as Jamaicans do. This meant that our utilities, services and staff were suffering too at home and at work if they could travel at all. Totally out of our control.
