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.).

The walls are thin, the valet isn’t always available, the pillows are awful, not enough people making eggs at the breakfast.

Verified reviewGreat location, amenities and overall a place worth to stay at.
We found a big cut nail close to our bed and we were overcharged. We contacted the staff at the property and they told us that they refunded the amount, but the money never came.

Verified reviewLocation is stunning. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Nice family vibe. Everything else was underwhelming for the very high price. This was our only option on the island for an event, so we booked!
Limited number of young, overworked though friendly staff struggling to get everything done. Somewhat tired and not very stylish common facilities, no sense that there is a purpose and drive to make this the best. At this price you would expect everything to be thought through for the guest, but I waited a week for a reply to an advance query I had, we spent a lot of time hanging around at the ferry port waiting for pickup, we were told there was no car pickup after 11pm, we made up our own pool beds. The pool toilet facility was pretty awful. The food was fine but not great. Staff were friendly and helpful when they appeared, but clearly overstretched. None of this would be a problem for us had we not been paying $1200 for one night! It feels as if the Pridwin is taking advantage of its status as the only big hotel on the island.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived, we were treated with respect & kindness. The hotel is in a lovely location with a stunning view from the back covered patio & deck. Our room was comfortable and clean. We had a nice view of the grounds, ocean & pool area. The breakfast buffet was simple, but fine for our taste. Chefs were preparing made to order omelets which is what we ordered, along with avocado toast, fresh fruit, & pastry.
Nothing. Everything was perfect

Verified reviewI loved this hotel. Beautiful decorated old school hotel feeling. Beautiful setting right across from lake. Pool and pool service were wonderful. Room was exceedingly comfortable. Staff were very efficient and lovely. Live music in restaurant one of the nights.
Rooms were very pricey although we got discounted rates because we stayed on weekdays before summer season was in full swing.

Verified reviewIt feels so nostalgic either the wrap around deck, Adirondack chairs on the lawn, hydrangeas and seating areas throughout the property
I liked everything, the staff is all new and needs training. The food at the restaurant is fair at best. I wish the food was better so we didn’t have to leave the property.

First night we were in small room by service closet and were up all night with noise! They moved us second night to beautiful room. Also staff a bit unprepared for opening day

Verified reviewThe location and hospitality.
The pool was closed - which was not mentioned in their website. It was not value for money for me, as there was hardly any activities. If the pool was closed, they should have compensated the guests - maybe lunch, dinner or even a spa - in some way.

Verified reviewWe had the most wonderful Mother’s Day weekend here. The service, food, and amenities were excellent, creating a truly peaceful atmosphere. Being by the water, listening to the birds, and sipping on delicious cocktails was simply priceless. We already loved Shelter Island, but staying at The Pridwin made us fall in love with it even more. It’s the perfect spot for a staycation, especially during the quieter off-season like May!
