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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesMy review for Sand Castle is off the charts. I can't say enough good things about the place and, especially, the people. The staff go above and beyond in their care and kindness. Everyone greets you with a true "Good morning" (or whichever time of day it may be). They are knowledgable and kind and always have time to engage in conversation. The facility, itself, is fantastic. Perfect location on the beach, facing west to see the always beautiful sunsets. Plenty of space around the pools and on the beach. Isolated enough to be quiet but you don't feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant has wonderful food and the best drinks mixed by the best bartenders. If you can't choose, they will make you one of their specialties and it will be wonderful. The room was very large with plenty of space. I got one with a kitchen and that sure came in handy. I have been recommending Sand Castle on the Beach to my friends and I plan to return in the future.

United StatesThe cable TV would automatically go on for about 10 seconds, then pause for 10 seconds, which made watching news channels impossible. Beyond that I had no complaints
The Ocean View from Sunday Brunch was outstanding and the omelette I had for brunch was just terrific

United StatesThe fact that transportation was very limited or impossible after 6-7pm. Coupled with no food choices, it was slightly stressful.
The breakfast was delicious every time. It was unfortunate that the kitchen was forced to close at 3pm for the remainder of my stay due to staff illnesses.

United StatesWe booked a last minute trip and didn't realize that most restaurants require reservations so our options outside the resort were very limited.
The relaxed atmosphere. The amenities. Three staff and other guest were very friendly and multiple guests told us they've been coming back for many years. The sunsets were beyond beautiful.

United StatesSeating for dinner was usually a problem. The hostesses, when reservations were made (and I made them every time), would usually not seat us at one of the tables we preferred, even if they was empty. When questioned, she would say it was reserved for a different party. So then I thought that I could request a certain table when making reservations. Well, that never worked either. That was quite disappointing. After several attempts to be seated where we wanted to be sat, I gave up and started going to other "amenable" places for dinner. I'm not willing to "bribe" the hostess. I think that may have been what was required. Our only Black Mark!
As advertised, breakfasit was continental. Oranges, Apples, hard-boiled eggs, bread, coffee & tea. This was provided in the lobby which you took back to your suite. But weekend brunches were served in the dining area and was wonderful. The Benedict Specials were the best Benedicts I've ever had at a restaurant... they riveled my own, and that's saying something! all the food was very good. The beach service was excellent! I love the smallness of this lovely boutique hotel!

I had an unfortunate accident the first full day there,but everyone was so kind,asking me daily how I was and even had a pair of crutches for me to borrow.
