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.).

Verified reviewIf you need quite place and relaxing time it's perfect. The rooms are very clean and beautiful, some of them with kitchen. Unfortunately on the island there is not many possibilities to eat in the restaurant, 1 is open but very strange opening time. You can buy food in the 2 shops and cook by yourself.

The mosquitos were much more than I expected. But the air conditioned room kept them outside.

Verified reviewthe staff (especially Tamy) was very friendly. The location is great and the rooms are well equipped and everything is clean. The evening meal was worth its price but was excellent.

Verified reviewBeautiful view from our room. The hotel provides transportation from the airport which is close to the hotel.
The restaurant didn’t offer many choices of food. The description said tea and coffee was available but there was none.

Verified reviewThe best part of the experience was waking up to the ocean at your feet as boats pass by in the ocean. It's an experience of being in the water while in bed. The property has a beautiful beach, and a bar over looking the water.

Verified reviewAbsolute stunning location and view. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The room includes a kitchenette, fully functional. Cleanliness of the room, care of garden and facilities all exceeded my expectation. They run a nice beach bar, perfect for an impressive sun set.
Be aware to carry bug spray to the beach.

Verified reviewEverything was excellent. From the airport to the final day of our stay was awesome. The property manager Ms. Alexus was the best ever, always smiling and inquiring about our stay or if there was anything else that could be done to make us more comfortable which was very much appreciated. The chef and food service was as great as management. Everything was oh so good the amenities were spectacular unlike any other spot visited on the island.
There was nothing on the property to dislike. This was personal my camera didn't do justice. No pictures 🥺
