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.).

The outside was rundown. The pool was not working. The fountain was not working and falling apart. The wood on the bridge/walkway was rotting.

Verified reviewThe location to the beach and the wonder vibe in the surrounding environment.
Under construction, under stock rooms, as far as hotel products for use. To include toiletries, lotion , soaps, it was very limited. And even put at lease two bottles of water in the refrigerator.. First guests like a good impression to return.

Verified reviewI love the location. The drivers of the boat taxi are fantastic as well as the beach crew!
I was here last year and came back. My room had no renovations even though some renovations had started. The sliding door to the balcony was barely operational. There was never hot water for a shower. The shower head dripped the whole 12 nights we were there. The ceiling fan would only work on high speed. The ice machine was broken again this year. Hopefully, all of these issues will be addressed during the renovation project.

Verified reviewGreat spot, the water taxi is fun. Beach is very nice. Town has lots of restaurants and bars.
Needs a major renovation. Pool not working again this year as it was not 2 years ago and 8 years back when I was there last. Water features around the grounds have been inoperative for the past 8 years. Rooms are ok but need help. Both ice machines are broken down.

Verified reviewthe location, the staff and the beauty views
not being charged 25 dollars extra a night for an energy surcharge/fee. That seems excessive considering how old your appliances are and nothing is updated. I love the no frills, and dont mind the rust on the fridge, or the chipped floors or the worm out laminate, or the metal doors that dont close well for the regular nightly rate. But for the extra money, I find it to be insulting.

Verified reviewEverything was pretty good. Kitchenette was nice. Not a perfect property but adequate overall. Can't beat the location. Bed was comfortable and that's a big part of any stay.
Nothing really. WiFi a little slow I guess.

Verified reviewThe cay is nice.
One has to check'in at the sister hotel kn the mainland before hopping on the small ferry ride to the cay. I was too early and told to wait until 3pm. No problem this happens sometimes. Just after 3pm, I checked in and paid. I was then told that I was not at the Hotel on the Cay as there was a problem and I had been moved to the sister hotel. They could not tell me what the problem was! I had booked a superior double room with two double beds, fully equipped kitchenette, fridge/freezer, microwave, coffe/tea making facilities, ensuite, balcony. I got a far lesser standard room! One bed double room, fridge, ensuite, that's it! No microwave, no coffee/tea making, no kitchenette, no balcony. I went to reception and stated this but they could not do anything! I have since email'd, msg'd direct & via Booking.com my concerns a few times. Nothing back at all. Very unprofessional outfit. I was on holiday from the UK, this is totally unexceptable. Especially as the problem was already known prior to me checking in but they failed to inform me until I checked'in & paid. I should have been told upfront and given available options before paying and being booked into a lesser standard hotel room. I would not reccommend this hotel company.

Verified reviewUnique location on a small island, a two-minute water taxi ride from the Christiansted boardwalk. Large beach area with BBQ and bar. Rooms are well-appointed for the value.
The hotel is under renovation and needs additional work.

Verified reviewDid not have breakfast options during our visit. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance was very romantic.
Having a restaurant, at least for breakfast would have been good. We had to get off the island to have breakfast.
