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.).

JamaicaNo soap or bathroom amenities, there was a sign stating soap for sale. I think at least soap/ shower gel should be at least included. Also no AC, the tv did not work.
The location is off the beaten path, great if you just want to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

United KingdomWhile our stay at Joyce's was truly wonderful, we did notice that some areas could benefit from a little extra attention. Hot water was temperamental and we had some issues with wifi coverage in our room. That being said, it didn’t take away from the warmth of the experience—Joyce’s hospitality and the incredible food more than made up for it. The beauty of the surroundings and the peaceful atmosphere still made it an unforgettable part of our journey.
Staying at Joyce’s was the perfect way to begin our journey through Jamaica. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home, and the meals were truly unforgettable. Joyce makes the best ackee and saltfish we had anywhere on the island! Waking up to the peaceful sounds of the birds was such a treat, and even though we were just a short distance from Falmouth, the setting felt like a tranquil oasis, surrounded by nature, as if we were deep in the heart of the jungle. It was an experience we’ll always treasure. Thank you so much Joyce ❤️

JamaicaMaybe a mini fridge in the room to keep some cool drinks or water.
We had the seaview room and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. The room itself was large and spacious and well appointed. Ms Joyce is a most gracious host...made us feel like family. Big up David. My wife and I enjoyed. Property about 20-30 mins from Montego Bay and Discovery Bay....away from the hustle and bustle of the city but easy travel on the highway to the beach by Puerto Seco or to Mobay.

SwedenIt was a very run down property in need of refreshing. Pool was not clean enough to swim in só we couldn’t use it. David was very nice to deal with and always helpful but it doesn’t add up for all other shortcomings. Toilet did not flush, toilet seat was broken. Food was very good but priced very high compared to surrounding places.

CanadaWe struggles with air conditioning and we understood that all rooms came with air conditioning. However this was not the case. We were moved to another room that was supposed to have air conditioning but it was also not functioning. Unfortunately we had to leave the next morning. Also there was a charge for soap. So we did not have soap to wash our hands with when we arrived. Something to make note of.
Beautiful house in the hills. The pictures of the location are accurate. This is the place to go if you want to support local Jamaicans. The hosts are wonderful and caring and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay.
