Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Not necessarily a negative but I travelled during the off season so some of the hotel facilities/dinning were limited to a certain day/days. Again not a negative in my book, just meant to be informative to travelers.
The hotel it self was stunning, quintessential coastal vibes. The staff were very attentive.

Our only concern was the lack of staff at the pool on July 5. Once the rain stopped and guests came to the pool area, there was no one to set up chairs, provide towels... we did our own.
The breakfast options were more than adequate to meet anyone's preference and /or dietary needs. The staff was exceptional in their greeting, conversation and attention to detail. Ivan from Montenegro and Keely from Stowe, Vermont were kind, professional and engaging. Dinner staff the same as well as pool staff. The podium staff recognized us after the first day, calling us by name, each time we entered the dining room. July 4 was exceptional!

- • Family with young children
- • Roxana Building Room with 2 Queen Beds

Holy cow it's expensive for what you get. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place, but you're really paying for the view, the prestige (all the locals will tell you it's the nicest hotel on the island), and the perfect location in MV/Edgartown. For example, our single room at HVH, for the price of a modest beach house rental on LBI, was a bit... junky. The bathroom lock, one of the two device charging stations, and the hallway water dispenser were all broken. And weird things like the hangers were too large so everything in the closet had to sit at an angle; the pitiful shower spray was like a baby's sneeze. The room is pretty spartan and is basically charmless. We get MV is about going out, but for the money, we were expecting at least a few dazzles or charming surprises.
Fabulous location. Nice building a super helpful concierge and staff. The vibe on the veranda, with drinks flowing from the Club Room at the end of the day is lovely. The "heated" pool is nice (if boring). They make it easy to find your way around, and the staff made our stay there very nice. The restaurant is pretty good (OMG the truffle breakfast sandwich), but also has big misses (clumpy pasta? these are the basics, folks...), and is eye-wateringly expensive.

Thought on-site dining could have been better but better dining venues are near by.
Harbor View validates the saying “you get what you pay for.” Here you pay well and play well. They have golf carts to drop you off and pick up anywhere in Edgartown. They pretty much take care of everything. Great concierge services. Started original stay in a cottage suite. Plenty spacious and very accommodating but no view to speak of. Extended our stay and was move to a king with Harbor View. Less room but spectacular view of the harbor. Will choose this option from the start next year.
