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.).

IsraelI was missing coffee (served only at breakfast)
The best location ever with all of the advantages: 5 min. Walk from the main beach - spinnakers! Remember the name… in a very very quiet and peaceful location. Boutique hotel with only 8 rooms. Everyone were super nice, especially Kraig, who took very good care of us!! and made this vacation the best it could be. Vegan hotel, great breakfast (and yes there was regular milk for the non vegan)

JerseyIt would have been nice to be able to order an evening meal at the hotel but it wasn’t a problem as there were so many restaurants nearby
The hotel was close to a long beach with east access. Lots of available chairs and sunshades to rent. Lovely beach cafe. Hotel was very clean and the room was spacious with a comfortable bed. Lovely staff who were very helpful

CanadaI’d say make it possible to open the bathroom window. There was no fan in the bathroom and it was hard to air out the bathroom (very humid). Also it was very hard to get shower gel and shampoo from the dispensers in the bathroom. The mechanism is not great on them
The hotel was quaint and tidy. Also very quiet and relaxing. I liked the tea and water station out front for all guests. The vegan breakfast was good, a nice break from the heavy restaurant food. The staff was also very friendly and hospitable. The proximity to restaurants and Réduit beach was great.

United StatesLocated steps away from the beach, this hotel is at prime location for seaside relaxation. While it lacks a swimming pool, the proximity to the ocean more than compensates for it. As vegan guests, we were delighted to find that the breakfast options were vegan-friendly. Additionally, the staff promptly addressed any minor issues we encountered with the door and water.

United StatesThe staff who checked us in, Craig I believe, was super friendly, welcoming and very nice. The other man who checked us out was also very friendly and nice to work with. The large patio with the 'jungle' view was amazing and relaxing. The room was large, modern, great bathroom/shower. We didn't eat breakfast so can't rate that. Would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. Easy and safe walk to Spinnakers for meal, drinks and sunset.

NetherlandsThere are a lot of mosquitoes and there isn’t a mosquito net, so it is not possible to enjoy fresh air without getting the room invaded with insects. Also the fridge is quite noisy so we had to switch it off. The rooms do not have a cosy feeling, in fact, the only light available is the cold one.
The hotel is in a good location near the beach but at the same time far away from the noise of restaurants and bars. The bed is very comfortable and wide.

United StatesThe breakfast could have been more varied.
The location and property were serene and beautiful. The room was spacious and the balcony was very relaxing. The garden at the back is lovely. The breakfast was filling and healthy. It is also very central - 5 mins away by foot to the beach and about 10 min walk to shops and restaurants in the center. We would definitely stay here again - very restorative.

United StatesStaying there for a week, the breakfasts that they provided were a bit bland and provided little protein. For someone who follows a little more of a low carb diet, it was all carbs and very little protein. It also would have been nice to have a few more options and variety available.
Loved the location of the hotel - we could walk to the beach and walk to some great restaurants. We loved our balcony off of our room where we could sit and chat, read, meditate. They provided yoga mats in the rooms so that I could do a few stretches on my own before starting the day. The folks at the front desk were extremely helpful in providing information for getting to places, and giving us ideas on where to explore and where to eat etc..
