Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesIt’s an older property that could use some TLC. It definitely could have used a good deep cleaning. Second bedroom had barely enough space to walk in. Lastly, I did not expect to be charged additional money upon arrival. I thought when I paid through Booking.com, that I was paying in full for my family’s stay.
Location and friendly staff. Each villa is conveniently located to a pool or beach area.

FranceWe are a French family and our experience at Tranquility Bay was simply fantastic — something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. Everything was nearly perfect. Our villa with an ocean view was exceptional: spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and equipped with every comfort. The beds were huge and incredibly comfortable — a big plus for me as I often have back issues and tend to be quite sensitive when it comes to bedding. We loved everything from the pools to the beach to the bar — the whole resort felt like paradise. And finally, a big thank you to the staff, who were all friendly and helpful. A special mention to William for the warm welcome and assistance! Highly recommended — we can’t wait to come back.

United KingdomThe restaurant lacked atmosphere as it was pretty much in reception and away from the beach. In terms of location, there wasn’t much to do (although this isn’t a comment about the hotel!). The cleaning seemed sporadic - she didn’t appear at all one day, and another day she just left towels but didn’t make beds or empty bins/clean.
Great 2-bed room, very spacious and well laid out for a family. Nice pool area too.

United StatesThere were some dangerous poles left on concrete blocks at the bottom of the sea. They need to remove those. Our dishwasher was not heating properly because of the heating element failure. The person they sent was reluctant to fix it claiming that there was no problem with it. We washed most of the dishes ourselves because of this. The mosquitos were another issue but I believe they were working on it.
This was the best place we ever stayed for our vacation. The location, rooms, amenities, beach, pools all are wonderful. The rooms were very clean. The housekeepers were very kind and hardworking. The place is very close to most of the places to visit in Keys. A lot of iguanas wandering in the property which was wonderful to see.

United StatesThe breakfast was advertised as $11, but this was misleading — the quality didn’t match the price at all. It was quite basic and didn’t offer good value for the cost. Also, I was disappointed that activities like stand-up paddle boarding weren’t included. Even for kayaking, there was an extra charge, which felt unreasonable considering the overall price of the stay. It would be great if the hotel could either include more amenities or be more transparent about what’s actually offered.

United StatesI thought $20+ was excessive for a margarita. And also, calling it a beach resort when water sports equipment was all extra is also excessive. Maybe if at least the kayaks or paddle boards were included would be a little more of a resort feeling.
