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 to complain about- maybe a few wine glasses would be fine.
Excellent location. We instantly fell in love with the colors and decoration. It gave us the perfect beach feeling. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was there and in perfect shape. We appreciated the additional amenities like the fluid detergent for the washing machine, the coffee beans, the tissues. The apartment was clean, beds were comfortable. Beach and the town are in walking distance. We walked home at night several times and felt safe. We stayed for 10 days and had wonderful holidays. We would love to come back!

If stairs are a problem for you, then this property would be a challenge. Long, narrow flight of stairs leading to upstairs apartment.
Location was great, walking distance to downtown and the beach. Well supplied with loads of bath towels and beach towels. Bed was comfy too.

I liked everything about the apartment. Perhaps a few more bowls and pans would be helpful.
From the moment I stepped into the apartment, I noticed the cleanliness and the beautifully curated decor. The coastal theme perfectly complemented the location, bringing the beach vibes right into the living space. It was nicely decorated with fresh colors and new furniture that made the guest happy to be there! Every corner and surface were spotless, making me feel instantly at ease. It was evident that the owner took great care in maintaining a high standard of hygiene, which anyone could appreciate. Fresh linens and towels were provided, all of which were pristine and neatly arranged. I appreciated the attention to detail, as even the bathroom and kitchen were spotless and free of any lingering odors or stains. I must mention that the owner was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. From the moment I made the booking, he was prompt in responding to my inquiries and provided clear instructions on how to access the apartment. At the same time, he left us alone to enjoy the apartment.

Sometimes you can hear the train and fire department sirens from Neptune. It didn't bother us though, and the host provided complimentary ear plugs.
Our family is not strangers to Ocean Grove, and we usually stay with the teenages right on the ocenfront. But this year we welcomed a new baby, and were looking for a family-friendly place with additional features. This place exceeded our expectations: * The location is indeed unbeatable: quiet street, easy parking around, 5 min with stroller to Asbury Park best restaurants, 9 min walk to OG beach * Very clean, has all additional amenities you would expect for a family * We loved the porch * Very nice beachy design, though the ocean blocks away, the design brings it right to the place
