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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomNothing, everything was great!
Nice and clean, plenty of parking and a 5 minute walk to the beach. All staff were friendly and helpful. There were chairs and umbrellas left behind for people to use, which saved us time & money, really helpful! The beds were super comfy, best nights sleep!

United StatesNothing. This place is awesome- great value and fabulous for families.
I really liked the room we had. It was huge, we had a king bed in the bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. There weren’t a lot of utensils in the kitchen, but just enough to get by for a few days. The big screen TVs in the bedroom and living room are awesome. Everything was clean. Some of the facilities are a little dated, but it’s charming. It’s old Florida style. I really liked it. The pool was great, they even brought out umbrellas for people to sit under. Walking distance to the beach. Just a two minute walk! When you get to the beach, there are roped off areas that you cannot sit in, but if you walk, just a little way to the right or left, you can find a spot on the beach. We didn’t spend a lot of time sitting on the beach, we were snorkeling almost almost the whole time. My 10-year-old son and I got to see and swim with a manatee!! Great spot for kids it’s quiet compared to the downtown area of siesta key. The transportation is very easy, just call the frog hop and they will take you wherever you want. Make sure to tip them well! We went downtown once, but it was so busy and loud that we just ended up staying Where we were at. There was a pizza place and a place called Captain Kurts. Both of those were great restaurants, and we also cooked meals (we bought groceries at Trader Joe’s that was just a few miles away) in our little studio. It was perfect.

United StatesThe microwave wasn’t working correctly because the door was loose, which made it kind of a hassle to use. Not a huge issue, but something worth fixing for future guests.
The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach, which was super convenient with kids. The room was spotless, very clean, and well-organized. The staff was friendly both at the front desk and on the beach — the guy helping out down there was especially helpful. We used the grill, and even though it was a little dirty, it worked fine for us. Parking was also super convenient, right outside our room.

United StatesI did not like that on the private beach that they had parts of it sectioned off for rental chairs only. Seeing as we are from FL we knew to bring our own but had to walk farther to set them up.
The resort was in perfect walking distance to the beach & captains courts village which was amazing !! I did not like how certain sections of their private beach were only for chair rentals but we still found a space easily. The staff was great & the rooms/property were very clean.

United Stateshad this weird rule about where you could sit on the beach once you got down to the beach between 9 AM and 4 PM so that there was just this very small area that you could sit if you weren’t willing to purchase the chairs and umbrellas from the resort. that part was weird to me.
Super clean and polished. But also retro, like mad men vibes, we loved it! Very close to the beach.

The proximity to the beach is perfect. Private beach is amazing. Short walk to the Gulf water. Amenities are abundant. Fun for all. The room is perfect for Solo travel.

United StatesBathroom sink in room 12 felt a little bit small but stylish. One thing though about the beds: I would suggest to change them to platform frames and remove the cheap feeling under-bed drawers, making underbed storage for luggage much more convenient. As a designer, I wish the name "Captiva" on the outside wall glowed a different color like pink or teal.... the white is nice though and stands out...a color would be a great wow-factor update. In our bathroom (room 12) there was a slight sewer scent as you showered. It only happened when showering. The door to our room didn't stay shut and we had to type in the lock code to keep it closed. Would like to have heard exterior themed music in the background - something beachy or islandy. On the exterior courtyard, the only thing I'd update would be a more dressed up area for the wakeboards and beach things instead of just set in the corner. It wasn't trashy but could be stepped up just a little. Otherwise, very good spot for those things. I wished there was a bike check out at the resort. There was an led remote but didn't see what it went to. Could have just been a dead battery. The refrigerator was a nice side but the door was inconvenient as it opened the incorrect way for where it sits in the kitchen area. That can be changed easily by simply swapping the hinge mechanism to the other side. Simple 15 minute fix.
Beach: Clean, convenient and looking good considering the hurricane damage it sustained. Room: everything was great....we all felt that the modern updating was in line with the retro vibe the resort has. Comfort of the beds was amazing!!! Loved the entrance doors but the painted little windows felt a little cheaply done (maybe try a dark tint instead?) Location: perfect. Amenities: outside seating was great. Cabana was quite lovely. Spacious outside area and was quite clean and vintage-modern feeling. Very tasteful. Very Instagram worthy! Nice to have a wide range of things to use on the beach. Nice touch! Love the uplighting in the courtyard. Love the cleaning staff...they were very nice and welcoming. Loved that the interior design wasn't overly beach-cheap feeling. Tasteful decor and not cheesy. Nice flatscreen tv. Lots of charger ports/outlets
