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 reviewThe staff has horrible customer service
The staff double booked my room and gave it to someone else
I guess if I had booked a room at your place for 2 nights and one guest and showed up with 4 you would have accommodated me even though there is a price that stated double occupancy and the 3rd and 4 person must pay $20.00 per person. You tried to beat the system and when your demands were met you carried on in a disgusting manner. 1 guest means 1 guest not 4

Verified reviewScam alert
SCAM Alert: We booked through this booking app; price was $USD621 + $78 fees and taxes, so about $700. When we arrived, they demanded $200 more, CASH ONLY, for additional taxes plus booking fees. Our $700 price had turned into $900. I paid, but later realized this shouldn’t have happened. I asked five times for a formal invoice of all amounts paid, but they wouldn’t provide one. Then they changed their story, said $100 or the extra $200 was a refundable deposit. Only when the police were called did they finally return all my money.

Verified reviewThe hotel host was very nice and did what she could with her limited resources. I'm not quite sure why she couldn't offer us another room though. It has a nice porch and view.
The place is extremely overpriced for what it is. The beds were very uncomfortable, the television didn't work, lighting was too poor to read by, only cold water at sink. We paid for 2 nights in advance and left after 1 night, no refund. We cut our trip short because of these poor accomodations. This place is worth half of what is charged.
It’s amazing to see that you can suggest what our prices should be. You booked a room with Mountain View and when you didn’t get what you wanted you leave and expect a refund. It’s so sad to come across individuals like you. Bullying and expecting people to bow to you because it a black owned business.

No drinking water, no housekeeping, owner sharing the same common area with his phone and tablet on speaker
I am sorry that you have to to lie about no housekeeping. On the morning of the 3rd day housekeeping stop by to to clean the room and you refused . The housekeeper took the used towels and gave you a new one. As for drinking I purchase my own drinking water. To you a dozen beers were more important to you than drinking water. We do have standards here at Sugar Patch Inn, I guess that I am a challenging because told you not to do your laundry in the face basin and not to erect your personal cloth line on the balcony. You need to have consideration for other guest . There are clothing lines in the garden for all guest to used freely.

Verified reviewLovely spot, breakfast was good, beach two minutes walk away. Has pretty much everything you need, and a decent value for Hopkins.
A little on the south end of town so have to walk a bit (~10m) to town and the grocery stores, but no real biggie.
Thank you very much for staying with us, we would love to have here once again in the near future.

Verified reviewWayne was a great host, helpful and so personable. Sugar Patch is very close to the beach and we used one of Wayne's double kayaks for half a day. He also provided us with a ride to catch the bus. A great place!
Sugar Patch is right on the highway so the road noise was noticeable.
Thanks and come on back soon you guys were great

Verified reviewThe owner was nice and kind offering us a drink the first night as we were upset by an uncomfortable taxi experience.
The location- right in town was not a good thing here . We felt a bit unsafe with groups of men often hanging around intimidating us , taxi drivers ripping us off and the feeling everyone was out for your money .The town had a lot of rain whilst we were there causing the property to flood outside and create pooling in a lot of areas hence mosquitoes. However , I understand you can’t predict the weather ,but there is not enough infrastructure around the town to cope with the flooding. The nearby beach was littered . The room was very rudimentary with the shower hit and Miss for hot water and things taped together. No breakfast that was “included “ due to black out the first day and we declined the 2nd day after being woken up way too early to ask if we wanted some plus we lacked confidence in the facilities.
I am sorry that you feel this way about Sugar Patch Inn . Anyway thanks for staying with us.

Verified reviewWe loved the location, close to everything and the perfect beach. We swam with Manatees right off of shore which is an amazing experience.
The beds could have been a tad softer. Other than that, we didn't want to leave.
Hoping to see you soon in the near future. You were a wonderful guest.

Verified reviewWe had 2 rooms on the upper floor. The view out to the ocean was very nice. The doors to the rooms were on a upper deck which had a great view and ocean breezes. The middle level of the house had a large outdoor deck that had a couple picnic tables and chairs for congregating. The rooms were clean, had a small fridge. The bathrooms were modern. The hotel provided coffee grounds, sugar, coffee filters and a coffee maker in the room. We only stayed one night but if we were staying longer I would have enjoyed making my own drip coffee and sitting on the deck enjoying the views and breeze. There is a very friendly dog named Jack which made my kids' day. The hotel is located down the main street in Hopkins. I was happy we had a car but the main part was within walking distance if you like to walk. The hotel has off street car parking. If you are looking for clean comfort and quiet then the Sugar Patch Inn can't be beat. If you want to be in the heart of things, probably not the right place for you.
The Sugar Patch Inn sits on the back half of an ocean front lot. So you can see and walk to the ocean but there is a small house and another building between the Sugar Patch Inn and the ocean. The beach had quite a bit of plastic trash and ocean debris on it. However, we were visiting right after a hurricane and during the holidays so I'm not sure that our experience with the beach near the Sugar Patch Inn is reflectively of its normal state. This is not an ocean front hotel like in Placencia or San Pedro so don't expect the beach to be groomed to perfection. I wasn't expecting anything like that so I didn't really mind the beach. We still enjoyed walking on it.
Thank you very much for your overall point of view. We tried to make our establishment as easy going as possible. I am happy to know that you enjoyed your stay. Sorry that I wasn't there to meet you. Safe travels and an enjoyable New Year
