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 reviewSo beautiful, set on the grounds of the owner's house (fruit orchards) but completely private. Parked right outside. Very safe. Very clean and modern facilities. All exactly as described. Check-in and check-out very easy. Very quiet. Great shower. Has a private garden, but it was too hot to sit outside!! Fully stocked with toiletries, toilet paper, towels and kitchen cleaning stuff. AC worked great. Will be back, when we are next in the area.
nothing (we only didn't like the dish soap!!) in the kitchen

Verified reviewThis place is amazing. It was the first place we stayed after landing in Miami. Comfortable, spotless and nice touches with toiletries, dishwasher tablets etc. A good collection of information provided about the local area too and we visited the everglades from here before heading down to the keys the next day. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
The ceiling height in the bedroom is pretty low, we both managed to bang our heads! Otherwise everything was great!

Verified reviewSimple and cute tiny house with all the facilities
Upstairs bedroom ceiling height is very low so if you’re a tall person, just watch your head, you could knock it

Verified reviewIt’s tucked away in a tropical fruit orchard yet not far from most anything. The barn is well equipped, clean and has a nice layout for a tiny house.
I can’t think of anything.

Verified reviewMaria, the hostess, was very friendly and helpful! It was nice to be greeted by the friendly dogs several times when entering the terrain. All the instructions were clear and accurate and the barn was easy to find, following the instructions as received well in advance. The barn is beautiful, modern and well equipped. Everything in the barn was clean and well thought out. Also some nice details were included like a dishwashing machine including dishwashing tablets, baking spray/ oil, shower gels, soaps and even cotton swabs! It was also really nice to be able to use the guest Netflix to watch a movie on the television in the evening. We would undoubtedly recommend to stay here, especially also for the good price!
There were several ants in the barn, mainly in the bedroom. Maybe something can be done to prevent this. Also, while cooking there was no extractor hood, so the steam from cooking lingered in the air, making everything inside more humid.

Verified reviewIt was a cute place with everything one needs! The pictures portrayed it accurately! We were there for 3 days to sightsee in the area and also drove to Key West. It was great for our short-term stay, but the upstairs bedroom had some steep steps and was very small, so we chose to sleep on futons to remain on one level!

Verified reviewThe unit was clean and modern with all the comforts needed. The location was perfect for exploring the Everglades (south one day and north the next). The pricing was a good value.
The bedroom being upstairs and was small and had a very low ceiling. With that being said, we were only up there to sleep. Also, the hot water was not very hot. When showering, didn't have to turn the cold water on at all. Contacted Maria about that, but never got a response back from her. Was tolerable, as long as you don't like scalding hot showers like my wife does. Last, the toilet paper was the ultra thin variety. Not what would have been expected at a lodging establishment.

Verified reviewWe (2 adults and a 20-month old child) booked for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Communication was fast and easy, as well as the check in. The Tiny Barn has everything you need. We did not miss anything. Parking was easy in front of the house. Location felt very safe and it was very quiet in Maria's huge garden between all the trees. We did not hear any traffic. Kitchen was well equipped for the size of the tiny house. Really appriciated it to have a dishwasher. There has also been some children's cutlery. There is also a lovely private and fenced garden with a seating area attached to the tiny barn. The AC worked well and the bathroom was very spacious and well equipped. Bed was comfy and large enough for us three. Location is very good. There is a lot to do, shop or eat within driving distance. Perfect starting point for a day trip to the upper keys. Overall a great experience and you really get a lot for the very fair price! We would defintely book again! 10/10
There is nothing to complain about!
