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 reviewStaff was nice, Outside grounds was really nice, we liked the trees and bushes . But I also found a pretty good water leak outside at the main water line into the building.I let management know. I check the next day still leaking. The Restaurant next store was nice.
Mold in the bathroom, plus the toilet had a bad odor, I have pictures. A/c was loud and didn't cool that great. I went to your hotel for the hot tub , NOT WORKING! Goast ants in the bed where my wife was sleeping , she didn't eat anything in bed. We didn't know the ants were there till the mooring of the second day , so we shared our bed with ants for 2 nights! We were disgusted. We saw them on the walls. We have multi movies of the ant bed invasion. We had all our clothes cleaned and ant checked. My wife is horrify and appall with ants ants ants!!
Dear [Guest's Name], Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate your kind words about our staff and the landscaping — we’re glad you enjoyed the natural surroundings. However, I’m truly sorry to hear about the multiple issues you experienced during your stay. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the water leak, the condition of the bathroom, the air conditioning, the non-functional hot tub, and — most concerning — the presence of ants in your room. That is absolutely not the experience we aim to provide, and I completely understand how distressing this must have been, especially for your wife. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams, and immediate steps are being taken to address each concern. The water leak and A/C issues are currently under repair, and pest control has been contacted to thoroughly inspect and treat the room. Additionally, we’re investigating why the hot tub was out of order and will ensure it's clearly communicated to guests if ever temporarily unavailable. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, review your stay further, and make this right. Please feel free to contact us at [352-331-3336] at your earliest convenience. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. Guest comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we are committed to doing better.

Verified reviewWe like to stay here when we visit UF. Good omelette station for breakfast.
Bedding looked old and stained. One of the beds didn't have a blanket on it. Hallways desperately need a facelift. Guests at the pool were eating, drinking and smoking IN the swimming pool.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us during your visits to UF — we’re glad to hear you enjoyed our omelette station and that we continue to be a convenient option for you. That said, I’m very sorry to hear about the condition of the bedding, the missing blanket, and the state of the hallways. These are not the standards we strive to maintain, and your comments have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for immediate attention. We’re especially concerned to hear about the behavior at the pool. Eating, drinking, and smoking in the pool area violate our safety and cleanliness policies, and we will be reviewing our enforcement procedures to ensure a more respectful and enjoyable environment for all guests. We truly value your feedback and loyalty, and we hope to welcome you back with noticeable improvements on your next visit.

The AC smelt like it was burning, and it would kick off when it started smelling and TV would just randomly shut off when it wanted to.

Verified reviewMost of the staff were friendly. Breakfast was amazing. They have someone making omelets for you. They have two waffle makers, a yogurt station, and coffee is available all day.
Most outlets in the room did not work, due to when you plug your plug in, it's really loose, causing plug to fall out.
