Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The room was HUGE. A separate bedroom, full kitchen, sliding doors of living area and bedroom led to the sandy beach and beautiful water... about 100 feet away. I loved it.

United StatesThe only thing is it’s a little out dated but we can get past that , we had 2 rooms with living , kitchen and bedroom (non smoking ) they both smelled like marijuana. Thankfully it was decent out so we kept the screen doors open as much as we could … after we made some sausage for breakfast the next day the smell had dissipated, we had a one year old traveling with us … we didn’t complain about it to management . We know there’s not much you can do for that .
Location and views were perfect

United StatesA little dated but that was ok. Room was very clean and tidy however even though no smoking (we had 2 rooms on third floor) on smelled like cigarettes and the other had a marijuana smell. Fortunately it was nice and we just aired it out through the open screened door wall. We didn’t feel the need to complain about it , but with babies it was a little unsettling having that initial smell greeting us .

United StatesWe've had this same room before, have requested it, but it's beginning to show some wear, and needs some updating. The bathroom sink dripped and drained slowly. Our last night there, it became a steady non-stop stream. We were checking out early, and notified the front desk right away. They were sending maintenance to fix it immediately. The ceiling over kitchen area needs updating, as dark areas have appeared that I didn't notice previously. Some of the furnishings are showing their age, and the carpet looked blotchy when we arrived. Nothing a little brefreshing can't fix. We'd stay again!
We love Pinestead Reef, and have stayed here a number of times. The location is right on a beautiful beach, so the view is second to none. Rooms are spacious and have everything you need. You genuinely feel at home. You can fix your own dinner in the full kitchen if you like, or pile your takeout leftovers in the full fridge and nuke them for lunch the next day. And the ducks who've taken up residence there are fun to watch, but the rules are not to feed them. That's hard, when they show up at your patio door right when your Door Dash arrives! Staff we've encountered are really helpful and nice. The pool and hot tub area is an attractive space, although the hot tub is rather small. There is a sauna, although we didn't use it.

United StatesI chose two adjoining rooms for my stay and that was not given at check-in. The staff did upgrade our room to a 2 bedroom with shared living/kitchen. It was fine but not as much privacy as i wanted when i booked the rooms. It was also spring break so there were very loud teenagers running up and down the halls throughout the evening and knocking on the doors as they ran past.
The size of the room was beyond my expectations. The view was amazing.
