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 reviewOverall, a great stay: helpful staff (super flexible on pick-up/drop-off at the ferry landing), spacious bungalow, comfortable bedding (including the futon), everything well organized (your own kitchenware and half-sized fridge). There’s a good supermarket close to the ferry dock on St. Thomas. And Water Island itself is awesome — we loved walking the island’s roads — so peaceful. However, before booking, GO TO THEIR WEB SITE AND READ THE FAQs. This is “glamping” (sorry, I hate that word, too) and if you’re not prepared, you may be disappointed. Even though we had a great stay, there were lots of things we wish we had known about before going. We pt them in the box below. DO NOT HOLD THESE THINGS AGAINST THE CAMPGROUND.
As for things that VICG can control, there was very little that we did not like, but the higher-numbered bungalows do have a short but steep climb to the shared toilets/showers. (We ended up using a “chamber pot” system overnight. No biggie.) And I’m not sure it’s practical or possible under fire/safety regs, but we wish the kitchen had been screened in — see insect comment below. As for things not in VICG’s control (but mentioning them for your vacation planning): [1] You need to give in and wear insect repellent — manager Jason recommends Skin So Soft. Especially at the beach, the no-see-ums come out at 3 PM and leave itchy welts that last for days, even in your scalp. (These are NOT like mosquito bites, which go away quickly if you don’t fuss with them.) [2] Limestone Beach was a trash-strewn, no-shade, buggy disappointment. [3] Honeymoon Beach was well maintained with sun and shade options, BUT it attracts party boats from St. Thomas. Weekends the worst, Monday the quietest. [4] Food options on Water Island are very limited (not very veg-friendly, Heidi’s better than Dinghy’s but don’t bother with the Heidi’s grilled cheese) and the ferry is not convenient for evening meals — the last regular run from St. Thomas is 6 PM, though they do sometimes run a 9 PM service. [5] The ferry goes between the island and Crown Bay Marina, which seems closer to downtown Charlotte Amalie than it actually is. [6] Taxi drivers on STT refuse to honor the regulated rates.
Thank you for the thorough review. We truly enjoyed having you at the campground.

Verified reviewThe exact slice of heaven that we needed for a perfect vacation. Stunning location and excellent accommodations.
The steep hill is short but brutal for someone recovering from chemo-related foot neuropathy. But the hill also added to the amazing view!
Thank you for the kind words. It was such a pleasure having you and Doug here. We hope to have you back soon!

Verified reviewThe camp bungalows we’re comfortable and included everything we needed. Towels, bedding, even a cooler and flashlight. The kitchen facilities were nice with everything you need for cooking, the bathhouse was good. I would definitely stay here again, and I hope to in the future.
The driveway was very steep, it would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. I don’t think it’s something that can be changed because of the lay of the land, but it’s something people should be aware of.
Thank you for your honest feedback. I rack my brain everyday about what I can do about the hill, but the terrain only allows for so much. I am glad you folks enjoyed yourselves, and we would love to have you back someday.
