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 reviewLocation and views were nice.
I recently stayed at Crystal Sands 108B and, unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The pictures online give the impression of a bright, clean, and well-maintained condo, but the reality was far from that. Upon arrival, it was immediately clear that the unit had not been properly cleaned. The floors were dirty, surfaces had dust and residue, and the overall condition of the space felt neglected. The furniture and fixtures were worn and dated, nothing like what the photos suggested. Even small details, such as the bedding and upholstery, had stains and were dirty. Rather than feeling like a relaxing beach retreat, the condo gave off the impression of being poorly cared for and in need of a thorough deep clean and refresh. We left early due to the conditions being so poor. It was frustrating to discover such a stark difference between the listing and the actual condition of the unit. For the price, I expected a comfortable and accurately represented stay, but this was not delivered. Until management addresses these issues, I would strongly caution future guests against booking this property.

Verified reviewThe beds were comfortable and the view was beautiful. Having an equipped kitchen was nice.
Nothing to really complain about.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect- just a few steps to the beach , and great view from the balcony. I also loved that we had the use of the beach chairs.
The mattress needs an update. I don’t like the location of the pool because it faces the road.

We stayed on the second floor and the neighbors upstairs were extremely noisy. We can hear them walking, running, and moving furniture around at all hours.

Verified reviewThe location
The unit was NOT as pictured in the booking photo. Absolutely no resemblance to pics posted. The unit we got was very outdated. The unit had an old tub & the shower curtain was not clean (mold). It didn’t appear the air filter had been recently changed in quite some time & it may be the unit had a musty smell overall. The beds were very uncomfortable. The screen door leading out to balcony was broken, detached & leaning off the side. The woodwork appeared cracked/rot/moldy. The drapes appeared dirty. The walls needed to be painted. The bathroom vanity appeared to have heavy water damage. When we book a unit, we have to be able to rely on pics that are not deceptive.

Verified reviewSmaller unit and not in the heart of business. The pool was always clean. Central to everything
The parking lot was hard to maneuver. There was a large roach in the bedroom. No pizza cutter in kitchen and the oven takes a long time to preheat. Nothing major...just a few small things.

Verified reviewNeed to be updated but perfect location. Not the same pictures on booking.com as the actual condo. Also my 2 year old found a very dangerous pill on floor, upon arrival. Staff acted like it was no big deal.

Verified reviewPros: Great location and the beach access is amazing. The rental had (mostly) everything needed for a short family vacation. Loved that it had a washer and dryer in the unit. I had some cons below more related to housekeeping, but despite that, my family and I (two boys under 10, myself and husband) said “see you later” to this rental. Hoping to come back next spring break! Cons: There was not enough toilet paper for our 4 night stay, which when you’re paying this price for a rental, I would expect to not need to run to Walmart for my own TP. We also were only given one additional trash bag for a 4 night stay, so additional garbage bags had to be purchased so we could clean up after ourselves.
