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 reviewI recently spent a night at Waterside Inn in Vieques and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is truly unbeatable – just steps from the beach, restaurants, and the lively center of town. It’s a perfect spot if you want to explore the area without needing a car. The room was simple and functional, with a portable shower inside and a well-working AC that kept things comfortable during the night. While the accommodations are on the modest side, everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged for a short stay.
One thing to note: the small window in the room remained open with only a mosquito net, which let in some fresh air but also the possibility of small bugs. I had an unfortunate spider bite during the night, so I’d recommend that the property consider more frequent fumigation to enhance guest comfort. Despite that, the charm of the location and the value for being right in the heart of Vieques made it a worthwhile stay. If you’re looking for a no-frills, centrally located place near the beach, Waterside Inn is a great option!

Verified reviewNothing, especially the attitude I received
It was not at all what I thought I was booking as the site was very misleading and I was charged for 2 rooms when I only booked 1, when corresponding with the text I was greeted with an attitude and was asked to leave so we never stayed there then we were stuck on the island overnight with two children and nowhere to go 😠

Verified reviewI love the location. The beds were really comfortable.
Could have had a few chairs outside of the rooms to sit in. We rented five rooms and a couple of the rooms didn’t have the bed completely made.

Verified reviewLove the Bed pillows area location and all walk right into the malecon to the beach! Staff was nice!
Maybe need more garbage bags or trash cans outside the rooms.

Verified reviewLocation was very close to the Malecon as advertised
The outside walkway was very dirty with trash and leaves and rotting mangoes. The signage in the room warned us not to have food in the room. I have been to six countries and never been forbidden from eating in my paid room. No washer/dryer available for guests. Apparently none on the whole island. No TV. No window to look out.

Verified reviewBeing in a small island like Vieques, my expectations were low. All I was looking for was a reasonably comfortable bed to sleep in & I got what I was looking for.

Verified reviewits a budget place. Nice, new, and clean. The communal bathroom and showers and exactly communal (so be careful when you use them).
no maid service, no where to exchange towels. The airconditing was working but only at one temperature regardless of how you configured it. Didn´t see the staff (or at least were not visible).
