Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United States of AmericaIt was advertised as on the ocean but in fact was in a building at the back of the resort with no real view of the ocean. It did not have access to the ocean from the unit.Also, a 3rd floor unit with no elevator. The guest bathroom was out of order.
The unit was clean.

United States of AmericaThe room could use a deep clean more frequently. The ceiling fans were loaded with dust, the patio had debris all over it, baseboards were grimy. The feather pillows were too soft (do people really like those kinds of pillows- they’re everywhere). Lastly, the jacuzzi tub in the bedroom is unnecessary -there could have been 2 beds in that room (which is what we expected to get). The couch bed was like sleeping on the floor.
The location was great. I liked having a washer and dryer. The boardwalk to the beach was helpful. My kids liked the pools. Someone called me the morning of arrival to give us the room number and code since we would be arriving late.

United States of AmericaThe mattresses and pillows in both bedrooms of our particular unit were very old and uncomfortable. We aren’t a usually picky with beds/sleeping on trips. We made it work but the first night it was difficult for everyone to sleep well.
Very convenient spot to stay with young kids. Short, easy walks to the beach and the pools. Condo was very clean and quaint. The heated pool was awesome, and the other 2 pools seemed nice and clean too. Beautiful landscaping and grounds. Perfect for a family trip.

Location was ok but would stay closer to St. Augustine historical area next time. Check in experience was a disaster as we were never given the code to combination lock or our scheduled unit and nobody was answering the customer service phone!

United States of AmericaThere was no welcome kit with parking pass. We had to get beach gate access codes from other people staying at the complex after several attempts to get them from the realty company. Cheap garbage bags split twice causing a garbage spill to be cleaned up twice. This is not a fault of the condo as it was very nice.
This condo was very clean and stocked with what we needed for a good stay. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was great. The heated pool and outside hot tub were excellent

United States of AmericaThere was no designated parking spot for I306. The window to the unit next door was right on our patio which is a security concern. Especially since the patio door did not lock or have a cross bar. The weather strip on the bottom of the entry door was gone. So there was a huge gap under the door for bugs to crawl in. Also a full size fridge would have made a huge difference. We had no way to store more than one day of food at a time. The unused closet would make a perfect spot for a full size fridge. The little apartment was the perfect size. I just think the space is not used to it full potential.
We enjoyed the roof top deck, pool and location to the beach. The complex was pretty quiet and relaxing. Pools, hot tub, and landscaping were all very well kept. We absolutely loved all the palm trees and beautiful flowers around the complex.

United States of AmericaRather sparsely decorated in main living area with little space for dining table. Most definitely not ocean facing, and in fact its 1st floor unit with windows and patio facing the street and parking lot. Very few plates, glasses and utensils; basically enough for one meal for 4 before having to wash dishes. Wierd jacuzzi tub right next to quees bed in one bedroom, made for awkward navigating to bathroom in the night. Entire condo facility looked like it was used hard and put up wet, a bit rundown.
Decent amounnt of space.

United States of Americawe were on the 3rd floor. my 85 year old mother and 75 year old aunt had a difficult time getting up and down the stairs. it was not ocean side and ground floor like I had requested. They were doing construction next door and made it very noisy. We could not even find access to the beach and there was no staff on site. we didn’t even have a welcome package and no contact whatsoever with the owners which I had emailed for more information and never received. The washing machine didn’t work and flooded the bathroom, I walked in and slipped and fell on my hip and dislocated my ankle. I was able to pop my ankle back into place only because I knew how with the help of my mom and aunt whom were retired RNs. if I hadn’t been able to do that this would have been a much worse review. one of the dinning room chairs has a broken leg, which I found out upon sitting in it. also, we never found the pool.
the apartment was clean and decorated nicely, however there was one chair broken and the washing machine flooded the bathroom.

Our room was next to a man made small water feature that had very very loud croaking frogs all night long! AWFUL! Made sleeping quite a challenge! No purpose to the water feature so I would recommend that you do away with it. It’s not even aesthetically pleasant.
