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...).

United StatesThe reception experience was transactional and the staff seemed a focused on what you couldn't do--it just didn't feel that welcoming. It seemed rather silly to have a coupon you had to use daily to get your ration of 2 beach towels. We used the pool area several times and while it was quite functional it was rather uninspired and not that enjoyable.
The room was exceptionally comfortable with good facilities; the build in mini kitchen was exceptional. The beach area was well staffed with helpful people who were very pleasant and responsive to meeting guest needs for refreshments, adjustments to the umbrellas and other assistance.

United StatesBreakfast could have more selection. One towel a day was annoying. Price was a little high for the week but free breakfast and room cleaning made it tenable.
Spa was very pleasant. The staff there were wonderful. Ocean beautiful. Beach waiters were very fast, friendly and efficient. Bar tenders fun. Breakfast staff were helpful. Hotel great location. Cleaning ladies were very amenable to our schedule and very thorough in cleaning. Close to the square with many restaurants. Definitely try the sushi big tray at the hotel beach. The front desk was so helpful in booking the spa and an island boat ride. Suggested Captain Jo's boat rental and it was one of the best we ever have. Captain Andrew was amazing and tailed the boat trip to everything we asked!

United StatesThe included breakfast was mediocre, the coffee/tea cups were worthless as they transmitted the heat quickly and burned many guests fingers.
The location on the beach and less than a block to multiple great restaurants was the primary reason for selecting La Playa Orient Bay.

United StatesBath Towels and bath supplies could be upgraded to more luxurious brands. Towels are thin and not up to par with a 4 star hotel. Breakfast was nice on the beach every morning but could provide more selection of granola, yogurts, etc. overall, a wonderful hotel, nice staff and perfect location.
Location is perfect! Right on orient beach! Close to the village -1 minute walk to many restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc! Liked the amenities included such as daily breakfast, swimming pool and complimentary beach chairs.

United StatesBreakfast could have a little variation, with local cuisine options maybe. However I would say that it’s appreciated to have a buffet breakfast.
We had a wonderful stay. We travelled for the first time with our 2 months old and the staff made sure we had we need. They went above and beyond so we could have a relaxing stay. The location is ideal, right on the beach, 2 minutes walk from stores, bakery and restaurant. We will definitely be back!

United StatesDisappointed to find the water wasn't Potable in the rooms. But I realize this may be out of their control. When we stayed here 5 years ago, there were a few instances where the French side of St Martin didn't have water late in the afternoon, but that was only 2 years after the hurricane.
The breakfast was basically good. Americans like their bacon cooked more and we had a hard time finding some cooked to our liking. The pancakes were good, but waffles would have been a welcome change a few days a week. Loved the fruit and yogurt. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my husband enjoyed the coffee station. And the French bread - yum! Couldn't improve on the bar. Drinks (Rum Runner) were great! Staff was very attentive at the Restaurant. The beach was awesome. The "boys" took care of us for drinks and shade. They also worked hard all day to make everyone's stay on the beach memorable.

United StatesNothing I didn't like. But show people how close the Village is to the resort. I know that information is published on the website, but we didn't realize how convenient La Playa is to all those great restaurants, supermarkets, etc. It's just perfect.
The resort thought of everything. The room was well thought out, contained everything we needed, was clean, and very comfortable. The restaurant was good, and the breakfast was surprisingly convenient. It's nice to just walk a few feet for breakfast and not have to travel too far right after you wake up. The staff is so helpful without being intrusive. Almost made me want to move to France! Will stay here again, 100%.
