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...).

The location was perfect to folly beach, downtown Charleston the apartment very easy to find. Lovely neighborhood. Welcome goodies on the countertop. Paul was very responsive to a question we had. Definitely recommend The Gray Heron House. We hope to return in the future.

United States of AmericaNothing. All good.
We loved that there was a separate living room and family room to spread out in as well as an outdoor space to enjoy views of the lake. Perfect location to spend a day surfing and shopping on Folly Beach (5-min away) and enjoying an Outer Banks Film tour and Old City Jail tour in Charleston (just 15-min away)

Good location, 5 minutes drive to beach, 20 minutes to downtown Charleston. Right hand side of beach house on residential estate. Recently renovated bathroom & kitchen which was well equipped with many extras. Full cooker & fridge/freezer. Very clean.

United States of AmericaNot a great kitchen but it sufficed for light breakfast cooking. The door to the adjacent apartment is right by the couch so some noise came through from next door but nothing too disruptive.
Great location and very clean. It was perfect for what we needed for a short trip. We spent most of our time out and about. Comfortable beds and huge bathroom.

United States of AmericaWasher dryer would have been convenient, but certainly not a deal breaker by any means. Nothing to not like really.
Host Paul is a true gentleman - very responsive yet not meddling at all. The property is only 7 mins away from folly beach and 20 mins from downtown. It's a cozy little home in a quite neighborhood and beside a lake where you can relax with a glass of wine and listen to the birds. HT is within walking distance and is open till 11PM (just in case you run out of wine). It has plenty of off-street parking, perfect for a small family. The home is adorned with lots of nice paintings and southern comfort. The welcome basket was the cherry on top. Don't think, just book. Worth every penny!! PS: Even the neighbors were very friendly and you can actually gaze at stars, which is very rare for us city dwellers.

United States of AmericaThis stay was great! The house is beautiful and has a great view of all sorts of birds off the back porch. The indoor space is very comfortable and clean. Easy 10-minute drive (in traffic, very fast if no traffic)) to the beach or a 15-minute bike ride! Right across the street from the grocery store and nicely stocked kitchen. TV provided Netflix, AC did its job, and an outdoor shower on the porch to rinse after the beach was a great touch!! We had no complaints, highly recommend it!

United States of AmericaToiletries were used/shared. I luckily brought my own or would have needed to run out and get them. Could not control the temperature. A bit cool at night bring a throw or light weight jacket/pants if you run cold. Steps to upper level need some repair.
Location to what we wanted to do was excellent. Size was great for two people. Cleanliness was good. Host was very good at returning messages. A welcome basket was provided. The lake/pond outside was pretty and relaxing.

United States of AmericaTrailer park vibe. Meaning, the home was very clean, with nice hard wood floors and a bathroom skylight that helped warm the body naturally. That skylight and dual sinks were a nice added touch. Unfortunately, the muddy grounds were slightly irritating. A pebble path up to the steps would be helpful. The only truly negative was that it was a trailer home, and it wasn't curb appealing. For the cost, I would have preferred a better outdoor ambience. Can't wait to see the remodel
I absolutely love Folly Island Beach. Always clean and the people are friendly
