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 view was absolutely stunning. We spent hours on the deck watching dolphins, hammerhead sharks, and even flamingos from the property. One of the highlights of our trip was hiring a boat for the day from Island Boat Rentals—they were fantastic. We had an unforgettable time exploring local islands and spotting incredible wildlife, including sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and a variety of seabirds. We visited The Tipsy Cow, one of the few places open, and had the pleasure of meeting Barb, who shared great ideas for our time there and informed us about the town's recovery from past hurricanes.
Unfortunately, the accommodation and overall vibe of the area were disappointing. Cedar Key is still recovering from a major hurricane at the end of 2024, with many restaurants and businesses closed. The beach at the unit was shut due to debris, and part of the swimming pool area was also closed off. The unit itself had several problems, including a broken shower and a toilet not fixed to the floor. We weren’t told in advance about these issues or the local closures — though admittedly, we could have researched more ourselves. The owner is not part of the site management, so any issues have to be reported directly to them and won’t be dealt with by local maintenance. In the unit’s guest book, the owner highlights that they are a social influencer who helps people make money, but the first thing we noticed on arrival was an envelope left out for a housekeeping tip. Looking through the guest book, it seems most people only stay for two nights at most, and negative reviews appear to have been removed. The location by the harbour inlet meant loud boat traffic passed by throughout the night — so loud it sometimes felt like they were right under the unit. We cut our three-night booking short and stayed only one night. We’d consider returning to Cedar Key in the future, but only once more of the area has reopened and would not return to this unit.
From the owner: "Guests were granted a refund for nights not stayed In the history of guests visiting, a review such as this has never been made (which speaks volumes about these guests) All details of the 3 major hurricanes that hit the Island of Cedar in 1 1-year time span and the recovery are disclosed in the listing (no accommodations are listed that are currently being repaired) The beach was and is open for all guests The shower works perfectly, and the toilet is right next to the sink, secured to the floor."

Verified reviewThe Unit where my friend and I stayed was located right by the ocean and very clean. I love how the sun rises right outside of our balcony. This is not a place to go to parties or swimming though because this is more of a fishing little for people who just want to relax with a fishing pole all day. There were a lot of restaurants but sadly the hurricane destroyed most of them. Overall my friend and I had a good time experience and got a taste of what retirement would look like in the future.

Verified reviewBeautiful scenery right on the gulf!! Watched dolphins playing and many types of birds flying by the bacony. Comfortable bed, nice kitchen, and overall a great place.
It could be a little noisy at times, A/C and refrigerator also being a condo with many units. It's not anyone's fault. Just used to being in a house with not quite as many noises.

Verified reviewThe condo was well stocked, with everything you need. Plenty of shaded parking and it's right on the water. There is a small beach in front of the building, but the water is not what you want for wading or swimming. There is a brownish coating on the sand when the tide is out. That said, Cedar Key's charms far outweigh it not having a typical Florida beach. Rent a golf cart (Milt has a golf cart rental right as you enter the condos on the left. Great guy!) Explore the island. It is great for just riding around on your cart, as there is practically no traffic.
The water. It is brown, unlike most gulf beaches. Practically no beach at all.

Verified reviewThe balcony and view, there was a tall bistro table and chairs on it. The kitchen was great and stocked with some items like coffee, sugar and other condiments. The couch and chairs were very comfortable and roomy. The TV was nice and big. The fishing dock was great.
The bed needs to be replaced because it sagged badly in the middle and I didn't like my pillow. Also, the cable tv did not work and when I tried to call and tell the guest contact I got no answer or call back.

Could use more outdoor grills. Our apartment didn't have one yet, there were one for each of the other apartments that were identical to ours located on the same beach front.
