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 reviewPluses: Very gracious and generous hosts who picked us up from the honey pokey ferry station and dropped us off at the bus station Fully equipped kitchen: if we needed anything, the host provided it for us Walking distance to a supermarket and the Bistro which made fresh bagels and had really good happy hour specials (the watermelon salad was amazing) Small pretty beach for ocean swims Access to laundry machine and clothes lines where we could do our own laundry
A small divider between the bed and the living room would provide more privacy for non-couples

Verified reviewThe location was ideal because it's right near our friend's house on Paradise Blvd. from New Jersey and our friends from Connecticut enjoyed hanging out with them on their boat. Love being right on the beach and the bed was incredibly comfortable! I don't usually sleep well even in my own bed! I had a great night's sleep!
I know that this lovely couple from CT like us, is working on improving the property as I believe they acquired it recently. It was a great price for a studio with a full kitchen, which we didn't need because we were only there for one night. I would change the cushions on the sleeper sofa to a colorful new fabric, invest in new towels that are white so they can be bleached, and I would put a throw rug over the tile to make it cozier. The bathroom could use some updates, but all the places along that beach are all like that and we have stayed at a several. This one was the best yet!
Thank-you for your comments. We will consider making those changes. Its always good to have a new perspective. You are welcome anytime.

Verified reviewThe property’s location is fantastic, near to stores and restaurants, and also right in the beach. The property owners are extremely helpful and answered all my questions/requests/messages promptly! All-in-all perfect experience, the accommodation was exactly what I was booking for and it was well-priced. Awesome place.
