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.).

United KingdomWhile the restaurants are good, I wasn't a fan of Elements. I think the food here let down the overall quality. It's not a dislike per se, just that I'd rate this average quality vs what Oro and Blue Fin offer which I found was a lot better. Additionally, The room didn't have large enough drawers to put your clothes in. While some people are ok to hang clothing and live out of their suitcase, others like to use a drawer for better and easier access to do this.
Overall the hotel is lovely. I stayed here previously and they've added several new things, most notably the adult only side which is great. I think the overall decor, staff, location, and amenities are good. I didn't try the gym so can't comment on this. The staff are really exceptional and I'm really pleased with how they go above and beyond to deliver great customer service. It's easy access to nearby Dover Beach, but if you walk you can meet Worthington Beach and all other beaches along the way to Bridgetown.

United KingdomThe room we were in was a little dated. We used a hospitality room to change before we left which was a little more modern so I think some rooms are better. For the money spent, it could do with a little modernising, but it didn’t spoil the trip at all.
The staff made this hotel and the whole holiday. Everyone was just fantastic! Food In all of the restaurants was great too. Beach service was good.

United StatesThe visit was lovely. At the end, we asked to get a late check out of 1 hour and we were told that we would have to pay $40. This felt like a slap in the face. After spending quite a bit of money over the 4 days, we thought it was inappropriate to nickel and dime us for one hour. Every day we waited until the end of the day for our room to be serviced, but on the day we were leaving, they were at our door not a minute after 11 am the check out time. It is sad that this experience put a bad taste in our mouth. The other thing we did not like was that you had to cross a lot of rocks on the beach to get to a comfortable swimming area. The club provided boogie boards, but I would have preferred a beach that was more comfortable to swim. Swimming shoes would have been helpful if I had known to bring them. Overall, we found Barbados to be beautiful and the people of Barbados to be some of the nicest we have met.
The breakfast was good and the coffee was good. I would loved to have seen more baked products like croissants. The dining highlight for us was the outstanding food and service at ORA.

Isle of ManWe expected the rooms to be a little bigger, and next time, would make sure we stayed in the newer block
Great spot right on the beach Good facilities and spa Excellent food and branded drinks …but the thing that sets this place apart from most resorts are the amazing staff. From the manager to the guys mopping the floors, the staff were incredible - to a person, they were so helpful, friendly and considerate, it made our holiday. Special mentions to Thandeka and June who really looked after us, and were superb. There are more upmarket resorts up the coast, but we were delighted with O2, and had a great holiday

United KingdomNo proper swimming pool that could be used for swimming. This is particularly important as the sea is rough in that area and it was not possible to swim in the sea. The downside of this hotel is the unfriendly attitude of some female staff.

IranThis hotel is as bad as a 4-star hotel. When I entered the hotel, the person in desk of check-in was inexperienced. When they gave me the room, the previous person's dirty towels were in the room, and the bathroom floor was covered in hair and the room carpet was dirty. The quality of the food was very bad, and the hotel workers They often talked behind the passengers' backs and when you asked them for services, they answered angrily and begrudgingly, it is not worth the high price of this hotel and this hotel does not have any water activities or fun programs.

United KingdomThe service ambassador concept is great but is completely dependent on the individual yon get. I would have rather expected them to be more approachable and ensure they pamper their guests. There are better views to rooms but weallocated those.
The staff are brilliant! The welcome is very warm and every member of the staff makes a genuine attempt to understand you well being. That makes the biggest difference. We were here for a special day and Tamara at the resort was extremely helpful in getting us a reservation at their fine dining restaurant which otherwise getsbooked well in advance.

United KingdomThere really is nothing to dislike here.
The property is ideally located on a beautiful beach and has great access to the very safe and welcoming area of St Lawrence Gap where you can really get involved in the local nightlife. The suites were immaculately clean and extremely well appointed. All 4 restaurants serve great quality food from fine dining to more beach bar fare available. The biggest stand out feature of this hotel though are it’s staff who cannot do enough for you during your stay. Every single member of staff from Housekeeping to the bar staff to the guys that look after the beach like Gino are exceptional. Our experience ambassadors Abigail and Shiloh were absolutely first class and arranged a number of trips, reservations and transport for us during our stay with consummate professionalism. Big thanks also to Dwayne, Ronaldo, Karlos and Darrien who are exceptional bar staff and genuinely nice guys. You absolutely cannot go wrong staying here. We were here for 2 weeks and has been the only hotel in our experience where we were genuinely sorry to leave by the end of the holiday.
