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...).

IrelandNothing it’s great.
Drifters is right on 7 mile beach, the best sunset you’ll ever see is right outside the door. The staff are amazing, super friendly, and helpful. The bar is great and there’s great live music on the stage. I liked it so much I booked it again for a few days before I left Jamaica and I will be back next year.

The energy here is fun and authentic! Remember that beat-up little corner store from when you were a kid? It's actually part of the property! 🙂 The bandstand is often rockin', and there's a good pasta joint across the street. 🙂

United StatesNothing. It was all great!
Amazing location right out to the sea! Very affordable! Amazingly fun music concerts a couple times a week. There is a convenience store with all.linds of recognizable goodies from US and beyond. Lovely Jamaican candies, pralines etc..., there is a restaurant as well as bar area. Pot smoke is heavy during concerts..at least it's mostly not cigarettes. Lots of Canadians. My son who is 11 begged to leave. He went in to play video games with his friends. We spent 3 days there with my friends...children playing together, swimming...so.lovely!

Good location to walk to the main centre, 10-15mins. Ideal spot on the beach. Good base if your looking to tour the west & south coast.

Negril area or seven mike beach. I did not like it , irbid on Main Street. There are mini bus or taxis to help you visit around. Or to take you to bus shuttle from airport.

Welcomed from the very first moment I stepped in the door. Amazing staff all round, owners are fantastic and friendly, so much so that I extended my stay by a week. This is the family I would choose to have and the home I would choose to live in. Absolutely amazing and I will be visiting here again on my next trip to Jamaica. Very very grateful to the owners for looking after me. Truly appreciate the staff and they do

As a solo female traveler safety is important. I love how the security guard let me know that I would be safe and that Drifters is more like family. Plus you cannot beat the location!

JamaicaI didn’t like anything about this place this place look like a sex shop no ac and the fans don’t work right in the room is nothing like what they put on the website if someone want a place to get away and relax for a day r 2 please don’t make the mistake like me and choose drifter’s it’s the worst place ever the beds are tough n uncomfortable
The location was ok but the place is a mess as you walk in the building you can smell a stench smell I have to go in my car and take out the air freshener to put it in the room for us to sleep I have never rented a place and experience this yet that Rasta gal n him Rasta man need to deal with the place and let guess can be more relax and comfortable I was planning to spend 2 nights but I have to leave the next morning. And because I write my review before I leave the owner was upset but if they were professional they would try and see what is the problem and try and fix it I would not even recommend my worse enemy to this place sir /madam go and get rid of your funky smell and stop being offended .
