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 StatesThe location of Windjammer is perfect! Right on the beach and super close to walk to restaurants and shops.

United KingdomThe only thing the property could improve on is the decor and furniture which is dated, but to be honest you know this before you book because it is shown in the pictures. If it was a bit more modern it would be perfect. However, we spent little time in the room so this isn't really an issue.
The location of this property is great, right on the beach and they provide beach chairs and umbrellas for you to borrow free of charge. Loved waking up, opening the door and being able to see the ocean. 5 minute walk from all the main bars and restaurants, which are busy enough but not too busy in June. Saw some great live musicians in the bars. Property is kept very clean. Never had an issue getting a sunlounger or umbrella by the pool at any time of day.

United StatesThe pull out couch was very comfortable, but it worked, overall no issues.
Location location location! You are pretty much there on the beach, a very short walk. Less than 100 feet. You are also within walking distance to lauderdale by the sea, which has a wide variety of excellent restaurants, ice cream shops, etc. Literally, less than a 5 minute walk to all these places. There are two swimming pools on-site, great for families with kids. There is a BBQ, bicycles, beach toys, on-site parking, you name it. The rooms have a mini kitchen. The staff is great, excellent customer service. We would definitely go back.

United StatesWe were here for the second time. The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach with stunning ocean views right from our room. What I liked most was the peaceful atmosphere and how clean and well-maintained everything was. The resort staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed. We will return next year for sure!

United StatesNothing--accommodations weren't luxurious but had everything we needed, were clean and well kept. Our 13 year old slept on the hide-a-bed/couch. It was fine for her but maybe wouldn't be good for a full sized or older adult.
Great location right on the beach with plenty of chairs for lounging, small but clean pool, clean facilities, friendly staff. We did not have a car and loved that restaurants and shops were a short walk away. Used the local circuit by the sea for a ride to Publix and a further out restaurant when we didn't feel like walking. The front desk recommended Square Grouper SoFlo as a snorkeling guide. Conveniently located steps from the Windjammer and fun snorkeling right from the beach. It was a great value!

United StatesThe furniture in the rooms was a bit dated and not well functional for a beach-side location. The floor and other aspects of the room could use some updating.
The location was very nice, on the beach, with two heated pools, grills and lounging, close to dining and shopping. It will be better when the nearby pier is repaired and accessible. They also had nice laundry facilities on site, for a fee, as well as many free day use items including beach chairs, bicycles and pool floats, etc. The housekeeping service was also very helpful. And the kitchenette was very useful for making stovetop meals at the resort.
