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):
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.
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.).

United StatesGreat trip.
Entire staff was excellent, made you feel at home and top level VIP attitudes. Breakfast was great each morning hand made by staff and served in a garden area. The location is around 2 blocks from the Duval Loop bus stops and great value to shuttle around the entire downtown area of attractions. The Hemmingway Home and Key West Butterfly Conservatory were both excellent things to see. Sunset at Mallory Square was great and Gladiators Ice Cream Shoppe was excellent. A few restaurants are not open on Mon-Tues so check before walking there. The Lobster Shack on Front Street was excellent for lunch! Also the Dive Bar Shirt Club on Grinnell St totally cool and great Tecos.

United StatesEnd of June 2025 ~ Wonderful weekend in the Keys thanks to the lovely accommodations at the Mermaid & Alligator. Once inside the gates of the property, we were met by a lush patio oasis with a beautifully appointed and clean room that perfectly captured, in stylish fashion, the look & feel of Key West living. A small plunge pool with water temp in 86° range was very nice and allowed one to better appreciate the garden, vegetation, and ambiance. Courtesy pool towels are available poolside. Layout of property minimized contact with other guests and really made one feel you had the property largely to yourself. Glassware provided for drinks, with complimentary soft drinks, water, and snacks. There is a small ice machine available as well. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash included. No TVs in the room provided a refreshing break from the 24/7 news cycle - and of course, you always have your phone with free wifi included if you can't resist. We had no fridge in the room either, but with the common area fridge stocked with water, soft drinks and the occasional beer, and the communal fridge centrally located; we really didn't need it. Located right off of Truman Ave, closer to the Southernmost point than Sloppy Joe's Bar & Restaurant, the neighborhood is extremely nice and felt very safe. We combined walking and driving to see the town. It was quite warm during our visit, so we drove a bit more than we originally planned, but with parking readily available everywhere we went, and things being so close, there were no issues. Speaking of parking: Parking on the property was limited, but free parking on the street is literally located just feet away and was readily available. A daily breakfast is included, which other guests told us was quite good, but sadly our schedule didn't allow us to enjoy it ourselves. The hostess & small housekeeping staff were very pleasant and inconspicuous unless needed.

United KingdomThe property is located close to Duval Street, but far enough away to be outwith the hustle and bustle. We had the Caribbean King room and it was beautiful, with a great wrap around balcony. The property is located on the corner of Truman Avenue, which while busy with traffic during the day, is not an issue. The garden area is a bit of a sanctuary and is a lovely spot to have breakfast in the morning. It’s around a 5 minute walk to Duval Street, so very well positioned. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of fresh fruit, coffee and cereal etc. The staff are all excellent and do all they can to make your stay pleasant.

NetherlandsMinor detail, but we really didn’t like the ceiling fan. And that it only had one speed. Also be prepared for loud roosters throughout the night, but that is just part of being in Key West.
The room was designed with a lot of love and really gave a cozy island vibe. We felt comfortable from the first second. The breakfast was great. The location super convenient, with enough parking. And the staff was very welcoming and helpful.

United StatesBreakfast is included. The french toast was delicious but I needed protein. The other monring there were eggs but I am picky about my eggs and I do not like them over cooked. Just my preference.
The location was a little far to walk to Old Town but we were able to find parking everywhere we went. The room we stayed in, Carribbean Queen was lovely, with a large soaking tub and wrap around porch on the second floor. The "pool" is a large hot tub in a lovely garden. The grounds are well kept and relaxing.
