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...).

The room was likely ready all day but the front desk wouldn't let us check in until 1pm even knowing we weren't staying over night just stopped in for a rest and a shower before going to another hotel over night on the other coast of Florida. So we had the room for 6 hours total.
The room was clean.

Shower water control handle did not work properly and the drain in the shower was blocked with hair and I had to unclog while taking my shower. Absolutely gross!! Pulled out other people's hair, disgusting that housekeeping did not report to maintenance after prior guest leaving. It would be noticeable when cleaning the shower properly and noticing it didn't drain for a couple of minutes.

Location is very poor hidden behind a small shopping mall, very dated property toilet seat cracked, shower curtains were disgusting, could not check in at the time suggested from the on line booking, wi-fi not working, smell of bacon when you enter reception (no wonder the reception guy was in a back office until you rang a bell) the hotel looked like something out of a 70's finally the pool party noise was the final straw with loud music with lot's of whooping and shouting in the end we checked out and never stayed overnight.
Nothing at all

My room had cob webs and we saw 2 cockroaches one in the shower. When we got into bed we couldn’t stop scratching our self very uncomfortable I don’t know if sheets were dirty or because of the mattress. Then the phone was not working so I had to go downstairs to front desk and told them what’s going on and he told me that’s most of the phones are not working and sorry about the room but didn’t do anything about it . When we check out we told the front desk person he said sorry and he’s new . All I can say this was very bad customer service.

Was mislead about a free shuttle service. The big factor of booking this hotel was to use a shuttle service to get us back and forth from the hotel to the airport. When we arrived we learned this was not the case and had to load lift application on to our phones to provide our travel to and from the airport. There is a shuttle you can call and take to spots within a small area. However this shuttle service is not provided by the hotel, it’s an independent small company and is based on the tips you provide to them. There is not a chart that tells you what the tip should be. So, you feel obligated to make a higher tip amount to them since this is not a service the hotel provides. Gas is way too expensive and everyone needs to earn money to live.
Very convenient to everywhere we needed to go for a wedding.

The fact that you get fresh popcorn all day is awesome sorry I love popcorn... The room is clean the beds are comfortable. You are 10 min ride from the beach. Also they offer transportation to go to siesta village the cost is just tip the driver. From the front office staff to the gentlemen who works the breakfast they are awesome and very nice we enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much...Also there are restaurants close by walking distance.
