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 StatesThe home is located on a busy main road, and accessing the parking spot requires reversing in, which can be challenging—especially with the fast-moving traffic. It’s definitely something to be cautious about.
This may have been one of the best private home rentals I've ever experienced. The hosts thought of absolutely everything, from Q-tips and toothpaste to basic food essentials. I was genuinely astonished by the level of care and attention to detail. It truly felt like a home away from home. I should mention I had no issues locating the home using the directions provided on the app.

United KingdomNothing really.
Honestly had one of my best experiences while using bookings. From the communication to host assistance throughout our stay was incredible. The property is spacious, well maintained, super clean with well equipped kitchen and laundry room facilities. One of the best properties I have stayed so far. Need to mention that the location was superb as it was 2 minutes walk from this amazing beach, close by we had amazing restaurants to choose from including Lone Star where they serve the most amazing food. Worth a try..I must say that the neighbourhood was very friendly and inviting, they all made sure we were well taken care off throughout the duration of our stay. Last but not least Akeema me and my husband can’t thank you enough for your assistance, you definitely made a huge difference on our first experience in Barbados by accommodating us , showing us around the locals , giving us directions and even assisting us on our wedding day. Looking forward to coming back next year certainly and most definitely would be in contact.

United KingdomIf the back garden were to be landscaped, that would be a wonderful addition to the property but all in good time I’m sure.
Perfect home from home, Ottie was exceptionally well equipped with kitchenware, basic kitchen supplies like oil etc, towels, beach towels, bedding and some toiletries. Great washing machine and dryer (very handy subject to downpours 😂). Tastefully decorated, clean, AC in bedrooms, lovely shower room. What more could you ask for? We loved the location - nearest beach is a five minute walk along to Jumas (nice beach bar, food average) and Lone Star (fancy and expensive!) or there’s Thunder Bay about a 20 minute walk in the other direction (cheaper sunbeds, food and a more relaxed vibe). Sitting out front of the property, we were always waved at and the locals were all very friendly and there were often monkeys running around too! (Note the front garden is right on the main road but the upside of this is that you can hail a bus/taxi to/from the front door!) There’s a convenience store across the road (just the basics) or Holetown is half an hour walk away (bus journey time varies depending on traffic) where there’s a big supermarket and a variety of shops, bank, restaurants etc. The convenience store also doubles up as a kind of local bar - you can buy beers and sit outside watching sport on their huge tv and having a chat with the locals - we really enjoyed that! Finally - thank you to Akeema the lovely agent there to meet and greet us at the beginning and end of the holiday - she is a lovely lady and exceptionally helpful!

United StatesI truly had an amazing experience at Ottie. The house was super clean and I was provided with all of the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom amenities for the house in addition to laundry detergent for the washer and dryer sheets for dryer! Akeema was a great house manager. She has a very warm and welcoming personality and she is very accommodating. I would highly recommend Ottie for your stay in Barbados!

United KingdomThere is no safe in the property for valuables, the garden is awful especially out the back of the property. The property is rough around the edges and still needs improvements but it is value for money paid. The owners have spent a lot of money on the renovations made but there is still a lot to be done.
The location is brilliant for the beach and the buses.
