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 reviewThe property seemed very nice, however the sliding door didn’t lock. We were looking forward to sitting poolside in the morning but that didn’t happen.
At 2am a young male, unbeknownst to us, an intoxicated guest of the property owner’s son, opened the sliding door to our room. It was the most terrifying night I ever had. While holding the door shut, I called 911. They came promptly and explained who the person was who entered our room. However, the damage was already done. The police tried to lock the door, which did not lock. Considering the hr and I had to travel back to NY in the morning my friend had to travel to CA, we used a broom to keep the door shut and really never slept the rest of the night. We left immediately in the morning. When it first happened, the owner said she would issue us a refund and apologized. More than a month later she has not issued us a refund and given me various excuses.
Dear Future Guests, I feel obligated to clarify some points regarding a recent review that does not accurately reflect the typical experience at our accommodation: 1. Communication and Flexibility: We always strive to be flexible and attentive. We promptly respond to all requests before and during the stay. 2. Security: Our entry door is reinforced to ensure your safety. While it may initially seem heavy, it's an important security feature. 3. Availability: We reside just 200 meters from the property and are always ready to assist. We encourage direct contact in case of any issues. 4. Incident Clarification: There was a misunderstanding involving family members on the neighboring property. The situation was promptly clarified by authorities, with no need for a police report after Barbara called the cops on my adult kids hanging outside by my porch 200 meters away after a wedding. No one entered or tried entering her studio. 5. Refund Policy: We strictly adhere to Booking's refund policies. It's important to note that after the platform denied a refund, the guest in question initiated a series of persistent contacts requesting direct payment, which goes against our policies and those of Booking. 6. Post-Stay: Regrettably, following the refund denial, we have faced repetitive and inappropriate contacts from this guest. This does not reflect the typical behavior of our visitors nor the experience we offer. 7. This is just an attempt to receive a full refund, her so called bad experience at my property will go away if she gets a refund. We deeply value each guest and are dedicated to providing pleasant and comfortable stays. We encourage future guests to read all reviews for a complete and balanced view of experiences at our accommodation. We are available to clarify any doubts before booking. Our goal is to ensure each guest has a positive and memorable experience. Sincerely, Andréa

Verified reviewMandy, I understand your frustration, you’re going to a hard time I get it. You rented my place for 3 nights, brought a dog without consent and left in the middle of the night when I simply let you know I didn’t know about the dog. I even told you since you were already here with the dog and he seemed sweet that it was ok to stay. That rubbed you the wrong way and you left claiming the door didn’t close tight. It’s very obvious that you are unstable , grabbing your kid and dog 11pm and leaving behinds personal stuff. Booking didn’t think you had a good reason to leave and get your money back and that’s why you’re angry. I did nothing to you. But I’m glad you didn’t stay too long, you rearranged my backyard Furniture, broke my door and left behind dog poop, all of this in a couple of hours staying here.

Verified reviewIt was very quiet & clean! Good location. Pleasant setting inside the fence. The landlord was very accommodating with the issues related to the storm damage & had good communication.
The bunk bed was a little awkward & uncomfortable for an older couple.
Thank you for your feedback, I changed the bunked bed after your comment, please come and visit again :-)

Just wish pool was warmer when we arrived early. Which was a mixup with arrival time with booking .com. Arrival time showed up as departure time. Probably my mistake.

Verified reviewClose proximity to the beach, town and lots of stores and restaurants.
We did have to ask twice for the wifi information and we only got access to it on the last night and it was disconnected the morning we were leaving. The AC system wasn’t the best. It was a bit warm for us and there was no pan to use for cooking, only pots so we did have to buy one at a local grocery store. It was pricey for the amount of space given.
Thank you for your honest review Matthew, The Wi-Fi password was given to you 2hrs later. I never got a second message in regards to the Wi-Fi request until the day you left, for some reason the platform booking use for us to message each other , it was delayed. I do see the message at 1:43 am the day you left. I’m so sorry about this and regarding the Pan, I keep them inside the oven not to get dusty on top of the stove. The Ac adjust and it’s the perfect unit for a small 487sf place like mine. Thank you for your review

Verified reviewWe loved the location. It was nice and quiet over the weekend. There was a Diner, restaurants, a Whole Foods market, and some great stores nearby. The beach was also nearby.
There was nothing we didn't like about the property itself. The property really was perfect and met all of our needs for a wonderful weekend.  Our host was easy to connect with and very accommodating.
Thank you so much for staying with me Cynthia
