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.).

Nothing I didn't like
We were disappointed we did not receive the highest score for your stay. We thought our staff provided excellent service and adjusted accordingly when you brought 2 additional guests that were not on your reservation. Additionally, we wish we could have allowed a later checkout, more than the additional 1.5 hours given. However, we had other guests checking in that day. Finally, our condo has top-notch facilities. We are only a 3-minute walk to the beach, with no roads to cross. Our condo has every amenity you could need to make your stay very comfortable. The kitchen has all appliances needed to cook full meals with ease, and our washer and dryer are brand new. Our goal is to make your stay in Destin a wonderful experience!

Verified reviewWe loved Beach Bella! The pictures you see are exactly what you get. We stayed here with our family of 7, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved the kitchen, perfect for home cooked meals. The condo came with everything we needed for fun on the beach. There was a shade tent, 4 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards, and a wagon! The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything. The beach is a 3 minute walk away. You can walk to the restaurant Back Porch from the beach. It's a 22-minute walk on the beautiful beach. Stay here. You will not be disappointed. 10/10 highly recommend. We have already booked for spring break.
The condo is on the 3rd floor. There is no elevator
We are so happy you had a great stay and look forward to hosting you again! The condo and the area have a lot to offer. The condo is on the third floor. But, you did not have any noise from above! Our corner condo is quiet and comfy. Thank you for the excellent review!

Verified reviewIt was clean, quiet and spacious.
We were located on the third floor with no elevator. The master bath was not handicap accessible. The commode was not high enough. Even though it is a nice condo, had I known that it was on the third floor I would not have rented it.
We are very disappointed we did not receive a top review from your stay. You gave us a 5 for cleanliness. However, in your own review, you state the condo was clean, quiet, and spacious. Additionally, you wrote an entry in our guest book on the coffee table that stated you liked how clean the condo was. We personally inspected the condo after the cleaning and before your arrival, and found it to be in top shape. Additionally, you gave us a 5 for value for the money. We provide everything a guest might need, including a fully-stocked kitchen, full-size appliances, coffee, tea, snacks, water, and items to celebrate your grandson's birthday. We provide many more amenities than most rentals. Finally, the Property Questions and Answers section in our listing states that the condo is on the 3rd floor and does not have an elevator. I am sorry that did not stand out for you. We put a lot of time and energy into ensuring our guests have a wonderful stay.

Verified reviewLocated in the heart of the city, this place was perfect for our spring break getaway. The water park, "Big Kahuna," was less than a mile away, making it very convenient. The host provided excellent tips on local eateries and attractions, and the guidebook had fantastic recommendations. Communication with the host was seamless; they were responsive and considerate, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. This cozy condo exceeded our expectations. It was spotless and beautifully decorated in a beach décor. The private beach entrance was a great bonus, allowing us to come and go as we pleased. We loved watching the sunrise and enjoying the amazing beach views. Our host was respectful of our privacy but always available when needed. They were attentive and made sure everything was in order for our arrival. The popsicles for the kids were a delightful touch; they were so excited! This was the perfect family-friendly spot. The host thoughtfully provided games, a beach bag, chairs, toys, and towels, making our stay even more memorable. We were impressed by the attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked with essentials, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, with amazing pillows. Overall, our experience was nothing short of fantastic. We cannot recommend Sean and his property, Beach Bella, highly enough! Sean did an amazing job ensuring our stay was pleasurable. His team was professional, efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Sean went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. I highly recommend them! 10/10!!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are very happy you enjoyed your stay. Please visit us again during your next trip to Destin!

Verified reviewI loved that we was 3 minutes away from the beach, which was walking distance. Plus, we were surrounded by all types of souvenir shops, restaurants, water park, etc.
The only complaint I have is how bad the traffic can get in that area. Especially with me being from a very small town and we don't have that much traffic.
Thank you for the excellent review! We hope you will book with us again for your next trip to Destin. We are happy you enjoyed being surrounded by the many things to do.

Verified reviewThe condo was lovely and spacious for our party of six. The kitchen was well equipped and generously stocked with necessities. There were plenty of towels and wash cloths. Pool towels are also a nice touch. We sat on the deck in the mornings and evenings, having coffee and enjoying the breeze. It's a smaller complex and wasn't very crowded. It's a couple of easy flights of steps up to the condo with a keyless entry. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon to haul it all to the beach are provided. This was really nice as we had limited travel space. Beach access is very close and an easy walk. Our host, Sean, was exceptionally attentive and helpful. His hospitality made our stay comfortable and easy. He even decorated for my dad and his new wife's nuptials! It was very touching and was above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend this rental, and you will not be disappointed!

Verified reviewThe location is great! It's right in between Sandestin and HarborWalk. Private beach access only 3-4 min walk. Clean pool area. The host was a great communicator and the condo was well stocked with beach needs and household commodities. Beds were comfy and the neighborhood is pretty quiet. Make sure you get your bands from the condo, the staff at the beach checks for them. Which we enjoyed, it ensured the beach wasn't over crowded by people not staying there. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
Nothing. It was all great. We would love to come back.

If I was on ground floor. Three flights of stairs were ruff. But it was still great
Thank you for awarding us a 10! We are happy you enjoyed the view from the balcony, and hopefully, you were pleased that you had no noise from above. Beach Bella is on the third floor as advertised, but it's only 2 standard flights of stairs to get to your relaxing beach vacation home!

Verified reviewThis was my first time booking an Air Bnb and with booking.com. I wish I could rate it with 20 stars. As soon as i booked I start getting messages and updates from the owner. My experience was excellent. I was traveling for my daughters birthday. When I arrived, there were birthday decorations in the dining area. The property was GREAT. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, had fun board and card games, the kitchen was very nice with everything you need! Overall, the property and owner were great and I look forward going again!

Verified reviewOne can easily see that the owners of Beach Bella are driven by a passion for service to others and not simply for profit. This is evident in their attention to the minutest of details. The cleanliness of the home, the crisp white linen on the beds, the abundance of plush, clean, white towels, a well thought out binder of information on the property and things to do in the area all helped to make my family's first visit to Destin not our last. Another wonderful thing was that the owners didn't have any of those ridiculous check out requirements, which made my wife wanted to do more. My family and I would definitely stay at Beach Bella again and I would highly recommend it to other family members, friends or anyone visiting Destin.
It was a challenge going up three flights of stairs with stuff that first night after driving five hours but not hearing footsteps above us was a great trade-off and I need the exercise anyway.
Thank you so much! We are very happy our dedication showed and that you had a wonderful stay. Mission accomplished! I'm glad you agree, as well, the "no noise" from above and corner-privacy outweigh the 2 flights of stairs. Please keep us in mind for your next Destin adventure!
