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.).

Everything. The older construction makes it quiet, block instead of wood. Maybe 300’, or less, from door to ocean. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Quiet secure area of hotels. VERY short walking distance to supermarket.

RussiaMaybe if you have noisy neighbors, the soundproofing won't be enough.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday, we stayed 4 nights in a comfortable room with a large corner balcony overlooking the sea and the resort's clean quiet street, a large window, a jacuzzi, a wonderful room interior, I always pay attention to this when staying in hotels, silent air conditioning, access to the sea from the hotel, a nicely equipped clean beach, the water temperature in the ocean is refreshing, places for dinner within walking distance, and a Publix store, also nearby, walking tours to the pier, everything was charming, the room was cleaned perfectly. I want to come back again.

United StatesIn short, Simone the front desk woman. When I made the reservations I was told we could expect FULL room cleaning as much as we wanted during our stay. Upon check in, we were guaranteed cleanings at 10am on Sunday and Wednesday. This didn't happen on Sunday until we reminded them at 1130am. Then on Wednesday morning Simone told my wife that we were on the schedule for 10am. We returned around 2pm to find our room had NOT been touched yet. John, the housekeeper said he was told by Simone to not clean our room until after ALL other rooms were cleaned. We believe that this stemmed from the prior evening when we came back to our room after 8pm. There were no parking spaces available except for the handicapped space. Simone said we should park there or by the pool. HER vehicle was parked in a regular space. She said she wouldn't move her vehicle until she got off around 11pm. Unacceptable. If you're a paying customer at a hotel, you are guaranteed a parking place, NOT a place beside the pool fencing(that isn't even a parking spot), NOT the handicapped space which not only being reserved for that purpose but also we were told by local Law Enforcement that they'd ticket us if we parked there, and NOT a pubic parking space on the street. Simone was rude. Simone lied to us several times. Simone needs to be fired as she is bringing a very bad name to this establishment. We want to file a formal complaint with the owner and after asking for the owner contact info she said just email the reservations email address. Comes to find out she deleted our emails multiple times.
The room and location were both what we'd come to expect from Magic Beach. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoy this location because of it's access to the beach the local area, and the shops close by.

United StatesIt definitely needs some TLC. The floors were pretty dirty. I did bring a broom to try and sweep up our sand that was tracked in daily but it definitely needs a good mopping.
I loved that it was so close to the beach and walking distance to everything. The beds were pretty comfy and the AC worked decent. At night it got nice and cold but during the day it didn't seem as cold. But since we brought fans and had the ceiling fans it stayed cool enough.

United StatesConstruction going on around it. The noise level at 7:20 AM was crazy. Not the fault of the hotel, just “progress”. But wish the county noise ordinance was a little later than 7 AM.
Walking distance to Publix, pier, restaurants and most important the beach!

United StatesDesperate need for refreshing. A little paint, better amenities (our fridge didn't work well and there was no ceiling fan to go with the switch.) The negatives were many, but we'll absolutely stay again because of the positives.
LOCATION! There were several negatives, but the positives outweighed what lacked. Excellent water pressure, clean rooms, comfy beds, nice staff and visitors, and, overall, money well spent.
