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 reviewBeachfront. Great location.
No hot water. A coffeemaker was supposed to be in room but there was none. First floor room with window on a walkway but no curtain or shade.

Verified reviewthis is the 4th time staying at this property and we will continue to return! The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is so friendly, there's isn't anything they can't do to accommodate you. We are steps away from the boardwalk and all of the sites at Point Pleasant, we can't recommend this hotel enough!
not a thing, everything is absolutely lovely, I could not recommend this location more!

Verified reviewGreat location on the beach. Free coffee was available in the AM. They had free beach passes. Parking available at the motel was useful, as it is hard to get parking near the boardwalk. Very clean.
The motel room had a refrigerator, but it lacked a microwave or a coffee maker.

Verified reviewThe staff was excellent , very helpful. The location is great very close to the beach and boardwalk
The only thing we didn't like was the air condition in the room. It kept shutting off and then coming back on, it was good for sleeping at night. Another thing tents should not be allowed on the beach we got to the beach early and someone came and put a tent up right in front of us, it blocked our whole view in front of us. We had the tent pretty much in our faces.

Verified reviewNo breakfast was included. Just coffee. Loved the location. Close to the boardwalk. Room was nice. A/c worked well.
The shower head needs to be spraying more inside the stall. I had to stand so close to the curtain to use it. You really can’t sleep in bc the cleaning staff was up early and was on the balcony with their equipment and the windows don’t really close enough to stop the sound.

Verified reviewIts a sweet vintage motel. Location , pool, private beach, mostly families, near the boardwalk but far enough away to be quite
Pillows could be fluffier

Verified reviewIt was very clean, and pleasantly decorated. The location to the private beach was amazing. The pool was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and helpful. **Really important: use of beach-pool- and restroom after we checked out. The use was for the day- totally exceptional benefit.**
A little worn and outdated for the money.

Verified reviewAfter I made the reservation on Booking.com I was contacted by the staff at the Windswept, confirming the reservation which was a nice touch, this is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property using the Booking app. Also the staff wanted to make sure we received the room we wanted and gave me a few options on the location of the room in the hotel. The room we received was in a great location on the 2nd FL with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean, which is exactly what I had hoped for!
not a thing, we love this location, it's close to everything we want when we visit Point Pleasant, we will continue to make reservations here when we return!

Verified reviewVery close to the boardwalk, so we didn't have to drive or pay for parking. Private beach was very convenient. Room was clean and staff was great. I highly recommend this place if you want to be walking distance from the boardwalk and enjoy a less crowded beach experience.

The price of the room was very high, considering the state of deterioration, they definitely need to be renovated, it gives the impression that everything has remained the same since it was built, for the money I paid I really expected something better
