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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaYou will definitely want to rent a vehicle if you stay here, as it’s a little off the beaten path. There aren’t a lot of restaurants or shops in the area, but Oistins is a 5-10 min drive and there are lots there. Also the water was a bit choppy for swimming but you can drive to Miami Beach which is also only 5 min!
Very cute seaside villa which was perfect for remote work! The wifi is fast and even reached out into the lawn area. We loved sleeping to the sound of crashing waves. Sharice was very helpful in helping us arrange a rental car and Ginger, the housekeeper was lovely! There is a security guard on site every evening.

CanadaWe had to ask for extra towels and wash cloths after every cleaning, though we asked at check in. Beach was super windy and not swimmable.
The view from our room was beautiful, the room was large and airy, complete kitchen. Cleaning was every 3 days.

United StatesOnly thing I can say is if it had AC it would be perfect.
I loved the location. It was more remote but very nice breeze was awesome. I came armed with repellent from other reviews and I didn’t need any of it. I was terrified of not having AC and being eaten alive by mosquitoes but that did not get bitten. Beautiful view of the ocean from the courtyard apartment. Despite the reviews saying you need to rent a car there is a bus stop right near there so I would recommend that instead of renting a car. If you rent a car be aware you will be driving on the opposite side of the car and the opposite side of the road. The round about’s are insane and you will feel like you are taking your life in your hands (I assure you that you are) The place has been newly renovated and it is very spacious and comfortable. Very nice modern bathrooms and the beds are comfortable. The staff is great and very accommodating. Do make sure that you read your check in information because they need your flight number and arrange transportation from the airport which is really nice.

United KingdomHadn't realised we'd be next to a derelict hotel that rather spoilt the local vibe. Also, there's limited places to eat out and sell-catering we found a it tricky as it's not like there's a Sainsbury's - just a poorly (by UK/European standards)stocked shop within walking distance.
Acccomodation was of a very good standard and the staff extremely accommodating (lending us their mosquito spray, booking taxis).

United KingdomA/C not included in the price. A very noisy barking dog at 6:30am each morning; I understand that the property has no control over this, however it wasn’t very relaxing being woken up so early. It was a little too remote for us.
large bedroom wonderful large balcony with sun loungers, table & chairs, beautiful view. All the staff were friendly & helpful.

CanadaNothing is really walkable here, so you need to take the bus or rent a car. We'd love to stay again although without a car it would not be quite as easy.
We loved it here from the moment we arrived. Quiet location with other quiet guests, although everyone was friendly; listened to the sound of the ocean to go to sleep. We didn't need to use the A/C due to the lovely breeze. I loved the small number of units, and the feeling of peace and independence we had. The staff were always helpful if we needed anything.

United KingdomWe were provided with a kitchen and bathroom, but no basic necessities for these such as washing up liquid, salt/pepper, shampoo, soap for the shower. It seems a waste for every customer to have to repurchase these items when they arrive.
The resort exceeded my expectations. Incredibly beautiful buildings and location.

FranceThere is nothing really nearby for coffee or snacks: you need to walk half an hour or drive. The beaches in the Southern part of the islands are more for surfing than for swimming.
The villa was amazing, with the continuous crashing of waves in the wind. Very private. Very frequent Silver sands -Oistins - Bridgetown van/buses.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it but just be aware the location is a little remote but there are very frequent buses running to go to Oistins, The Gap, Bridgetown which are just $3.50
Fantastic room - light and airy, spacious and really clean. Beautiful views (We were in sea view). All staff are so helpful- great communication in the run up to our stay and really accommodating when we needed to store our luggage and shower etc due to a late flight

BelgiumTwo things, but neither are the fault of the property , rather general comments on the location. 1/ beach not suitable for people who lack the confidence to go into crashing waves. I spent there a few days and the sea was always too wild, day and night, so I had to look for a different beach (45 min walk) for with calmer water. subsequently I visited maybe 5 beaches and all had more peaceful water. 2/ creepy building j right next door with a lot of broken windows kinda detracts from the otherwise beautiful spot.
Clean, spacious, quiet, safe, friendly, as pictured place

PolandThere is nothing, that I really disliked, however it's worth updating the list of apartment's amenities In my cottage B, there was no: dishwasher, washing machine or dryer (there was laundry service available for additional fee), mosquito net, sofa (there were two armchairs instead), it is also not soundproof (as there is no glass in the windows, just wooden shutters), although there were all included in apartment's description. The bedroom is on the mezzanine (which is visible on the pictures) and the stairs are quite steep. As for the location, it's rater far from the shops, restaurants or entertainment (there is a beach bar bery close, but they close around 7 - 8 pm in business days), the nearest beaches - walking distance are not recommended for sunbath, as they are really small, covered by seaweed and the weaves are too strong. There is a very nice Miami Beach at the distance of few kilometers, so you would really need to rent a car to have an access to the possibilities of leisure offered in the area.
It's a quiet and peaceful place (apart form the sound of the ocean and whistling frogs, which I really enjoyed) , far from the big resorts and crowds it's also stylish and very clean. Most important fitting and equipment was there. The garden is really beautiful and the view (cottage B). There is also an additional small bedroom on mezzanine with an extra single bed which is not mentioned in the apartment description.

PolandUnfortunately, the apartment was below expectations. The biggest disadvantages I will mention: no panes or mosquito nets on the windows and doors (you can't stand being attacked by mosquitoes all the time), the whole apartment is quite gloomy and outdated, there are no furnishings in the garden (despite the fact that they appear in the pictures in the offer on booking.com), you can only see the beach and the sea from the apartment while standing.
Responsive and supportive personnel, organized transport from and to airport.

United StatesThis property is in a very poor area which is fine. It’s off the beaten path. I got in late and someone picked me up which was great. The room has no AC and the windows are just open. This led to a huge problem with mosquitoes that was unavoidable. H the ey give you a mosquito net over the bed so they know it’s an issue and they give you some kind of material that is supposed to burn and distract the mosquitoes but it doesn’t work. I couldn’t sleep all night and had to check out the next day. I couldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The girl was very nice and professional. Do not stay here unless you bring a bunch of anti mosquito stuff. Also they don’t provide soap …. I was expected to have my own soap which was the first time I’d ever experienced this. Very cheap mindset. You won’t find cool shopping in the area - other parts of Barbados are fun but this area is so run down - there is nothing fun there.
