Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Clive and his family were great and so accommodating. The location was perfect and the back yard had a private entrance right down to the beach front. Good restaurants nearby and a short bus ride or 30 minute walk to the supermarket. The apartment had everything you could possibly need and more. Great value for money!

The location of this apartment was wonderful, through a gate, along a little path, through another gate and we were on the beach next to the Fairmont. The buses went along the road behind the house, so it was easy to travel to Holetown and Speightstown for shopping and eating out.

IrelandI can't think of anything.
The host and family were wonderful. Very welcoming and caring. As a solo traveller I felt safe and very comfortable. Nice, compact, cool space. Slept so well. Stone throw to the beach so woke up and swam every morning. Perfect time for swim because no direct sun so spent hours in the warm water. Close to shops, restaurants and friendly nieighbours. Bus stop just outside so easy to tour around the island. Loved the hosts, looked after me so well. Really appreciated their kindness. Definitely somewhere I would return. The sounds of the waves at night added to my amazing sleeps and beautiful experience. So grateful 🙏

CanadaUnique little apartment in the most ideal location. The owners are very kind and helped us out with whatever questions we had. The location made the entire stay incredible as we could enjoy the beach whenever we wanted. The air conditioning and wifi worked perfectly. The apartment is equipped to cook your own food. There is a washing machine available for laundry and a clothes lines to dry your clothes. They provided a beach bag, beach blanket and beach umbrella. There is snorkel and other equipment available for rent from the owners. Overall this accommodation made for a perfect two week stay.

We stayed at Westskye for nearly 3 weeks and had a great holiday. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and our hosts Clive and Sheldeen couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived late but Sheldeen drove us into Holetown so that we could get some much-needed beer at the gas station. After a long stressful journey it was much appreciated to be able to sit out on the raised seating area with a beer, looking out over the sea, just relaxing. The following morning she took us into Holetown again so that we could get some cash and do a mountain of shopping at Massy's - then she brought us home again! The apartment has a good sized and well equipped kitchen/dining area, there is a compact sitting area with comfortable seating and a TV, the bedroom has a very comfortable bed and A/C and there is an en-suite bathroom. Outside there are a couple of chairs & a small table, then you have the lovely raised seating area which enables you to sit and look out over the beach while enjoying a drink. The wi-fi signal is strong. The apartment is right by the beach - there is a high wall but go out of the back gate and there is a door through the wall. Go down a short flight of steps and you're on the beach. If you want you can rent chairs and an umbrella (BD$45) from Rico's on the beach but the apartment has two folding chairs which you can take on the beach for free. One day, after it had been raining, I slipped on the steps to the beach. When they found out Clive and Sheldeen pressure washed the steps, even though it wasn't their responsibility. If you don't want to cook Ju Ju's beach bar is a short walk away and serves good value fish platters, but they close early (6.15pm is roughly last orders for food). There are a couple of expensive restaurants nearby, otherwise it's easy to get a bus into Holetown where there's more choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westskye.

United KingdomApartment was small and the view was limited from the inside.
The apartment could not have been better equipped. The hosts had thought of everything that guests were likely to need and provided it. An elevated area with sunshade, overlooking the beach, was available for guests. Good beach was yards/metres away and several others within walking distance. Many nearby restaurants along the beach. Supermarket and many others stores within walking distance (1 to 2 km). Parking adjacent to accommodation. Very friendly, helpful hosts e.g. they told us when men working on a nearby building were needing to drill and delayed the drilling until we went out. We were allowed to check in early.

SurinameTheir is nothing I didn't like, but I did miss table spoons. There were just tea spoons, no table spoons.
The beach was almost the backyard of the appartement and that was a real plus for me. The host has thought about all the beach stuff you might use (beach chairs, beach bag, blanket, buggy board, floaty noodles, towels, etc.) The appartement is snug and homey. The hosts are super friendly. My partner loves to cook and the appartement had all the appliances so he was very pleased.
