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 StatesThis is my second stay at Studio St.martin. One of the main reasons is the location of the apartment. Short car drive to beaches on French Side and best of all 10minutes to Grand Case where you can find some of the best restaurants on the island. Then when you get you can relax overlooking the Cul de Sac water front.

PolandThere could be a bit more privacy, transparent windows in the bathroom and camera pointed at the apartment felt a bit weird but except for that, all good.
Location is amazing, surroundings of the house are beautiful, the beach, palm trees and aloe vera plants, you can watch colibris while preparing breakfast :) House slippers and bathrobes provided were useful too. In the kitchen there was even a blender so you van prepare fresh smoothies. Huge advantage are the kayaks that can be used to go to Pinel Island. Plus super friendly doggies :) Super nice.

United StatesWe hadn't realized that we wouldn't be able to drink the water. Not a huge deal as filtered water was readily available from the grocery store. Everything was very clean except the linens, which were slightly stained. Odd housekeeping services - no tissues, limited toilet paper, and they only cleaned on our second day out of 5 days total. This was not a big deal for us, but might be for some. The ocean access was pretty mucky and we would not have enjoyed swimming from the beach here.
Loved having kayaks available to use. The private outdoor kitchen/lounge area was also extremely nice and we made very good use of it. While the pool was small it was great to jump into and cool off after running, hiking, and kayaking.

United StatesNothing. Everything was great!
Everything you need. Free kayaks and only a 15 minute paddle to pinel island. The pool is right next to the private beach and has a great ocean view. Close to all the good restaurants but you don't have to deal with the noise. Also, the location has a merchandise shop in the garage where you can get souvenirs that are honestly better than most of the island for very good prices.

United StatesBathroom is unique, mostly enlcosed but could be sealed off better. We had to keep the door to the bathroom closed to keep out bugs/lizards etc, which means it would get hot in there. Porch could use a screen to keep bugs out but they were few so no big deal. Coffee maker needs to be replaced. Pool could use some shade.
Great quiet location but still close to supermarket and beaches. Nice to have the kayaks, we went to Pinel Island easily. Also close to Grand Case where we ended up dining often.

Everything! It was the most ideal place to be, safe and quiet. A true paradise. The photos are exactly what you get in real life. Real life is even better. We loved every moment. We split our holiday into 2, visiting first the French part of the island and then the Dutch part. We wished we had booked the full holiday here. The owners Bruno and Carole are very kind people, and their 2 adorable, kind dogs made our holiday just perfect. We would definitely come back again.

CanadaFantastic place! The location: Our suite was one of the 2 on the ground level overlooking the backyard, pool, beach and harbour (get a seaview suite if you can). The pool and beach are right in your backyard. You can lounge around there or take the (free) kayaks to Pinel Island, about a 15-min easy paddle away. There are beautiful beaches and 2 bars and restaurants on Pinel. The beach on the property isn't ideal for swimming (but great for relaxing). We didn't have a car, but it would be very practical to have one. The nearest town is about a 20-30 min walk away, so stock up on groceries before you arrive. We took taxis everywhere so it wasn't much of a problem. Most trips we took were in the $12-20 range. There is also a restaurant that will deliver, it was very good and reasonably priced. The suite: The apartment was beautifuly decorated. The outdoor kitchen was a huge plus - great to look out at the ocean while you're washing up! The bathroom looks like it's out of a magazine - it's huge and there's an opening (screened) between the top of the walls and the roof, so it's like you have an outdoor bathroom, complete with rocks and plants as part of the flooring. Soundproofing between the suites seems to be great, as we often stayed up late drinking wine on our patio and the people next door didn't hear a thing. Bruno and Carole are absolutely adorable hosts, friendly, genuine, helpful and responsive. They have lovely dogs who will accompany you on all your adventures if you want - if not they're very polite! They guarded our door, walked all the way into town with us and even jumped in the ocean to follow us as we kayaked to Pinel Island! (The dogs; not the hosts ;-) Wonderful and memorable stay in St. Martin, highly recommend.

United StatesA little muddy getting into the kayaks but the property is in a bay so…. it’s what you’d expect.
Views and location. A kayak ride away from Pinel Island, snorkeling and hiking. A relaxing spot for couples or family. The cooking and bathrooms are outside which seemed a little uncomfortable to me at first but totally welcomed and now would prefer to have those amenities outside. We loved the location!! The days were spent on the property or Pinel Island or in town at Grand Case.
