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 location for access to beautiful beaches and coast all walkable is the star here. Turn right and follow the road down to Twin beaches (5 minutes) and sandy starfish at low tide. Turn left and left again to Decourcy Drive Access and be faced with a moonscape of sandstone sculptures unlike any coast you've seen. Nestled in the woods of towering pines, the roomy place comes with all the breakfast items you could want. I like to have breakfast on my own schedule so this works for me. Faye and Romeo are remarkable hosts. Island sights? Kayak tips? So helpful. Just ask. I stayed 2 weeks. I'll be back.

Verified reviewThe owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Clean, great location not far from the ferry and multiple beaches, lots of room for my adult son, teenage daughter, and I. They even left some basic food items (eggs, bread, butter, milk, as well as cereal, tea, and coffee) and homemade cookies for our use. I can't recommend this place enough!
There was nothing we didn't enjoy about our stay.

Verified reviewFelt like home and Fay’s croissants and cookies were a very delightful addition, which made our stay that much more enjoyable
My only complaint… And this is the only one … That we arrived later on during the evening .. even though I had the address the sign for the bed-and-breakfast, was that of the previous establishment. Luckily, I was able to find a neighbor, the new Romeo and Faye and he pointed us in the right direction

Verified reviewThe suite is located on a beautiful property managed by kind hosts, who were helpful and provided advice about things to do around the island. It was super clean, and very well-equipped. The highlight was all of the additional inclusions, including delicious home-baked goods, and overall our expectations were truly exceeded.
Wow, Simon, your warm review is highly appreciated and your group was excellent to host.
