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.).

United KingdomUnfortunately the road noise from the luxury apartments takes away from the tranquil feel of the site. It is also a little tricky to cross the busy road to get to the beach.
The apartment itself was beautiful. As were the gardens. Really appreciated the portable umbrella and chairs for the beach. Reception had lovely local products on sale. Very handy bus stop outside.

United KingdomKitchen was large but didn’t have much equipment in. Road was a tad noisy at times but wasn’t a problem.
Our apartment was very spacious, so far better option that a hotel. Everything was easy at Beach View. Very chilled there and great to have a few pools to choose from. Great location - lots of lovely beaches within very easy distance. Definitely worth hiring a car via the hotel so that you can really explore the island.

BarbadosNothing!
I liked everything at Beach View! I usually stay with family when in Barbados but wanted to stay in a hotel for a few days, as I was there for my birthday. I visited two hotels to see what they were like and the vibe at Beach View was immediately so welcoming. I had left booking until the last minute but they were able to accommodate my request for an ocean view room, and the view was absolutely stunning! Everything went smoothly and was so well organised. The little touches (items in the fridge to tie me over, recyclable shopping bag) were much appreciated. Sonia and the rest of the team at reception were wonderful, as was David, who helped me get settled, and I finished my stay with a fantastic massage by Aaliyah. My three-day stay was way too short but I will be back and for longer. Thanks to everyone for helping me to continue my birthday celebrations in the best way!

United StatesIt is too far away from home. Visiting Beach View Hotel will require quite a few hours of being on the plane!
We had a very spacious and clean suite when we checked in. I loved the swimming pool that was less than 20 steps from our back patio. I swam everyday during our stay - even on the day when it was pouring down rain! The concierge was very helpful in arranging taxi rides and local attraction tickets for us. Our suite, pool, lounge area, and the surrounding landscaping were beautifully maintained. Having the full kitchen, washer, and dryer was a plus. We truly enjoyed our stay at Beach View Hotel.

FranceThe room was quite dark on the ground floor and a bit noisy at times because of a fast road just next door. Tv in the bedroom was very small. I felt that what we paid for the room was too much VS value. Other buildings are newer and look nicer from the outside
The location is great, hotel is clean with lot of great restaurants around. It does feel very safe. The service from the hotel is also brillant.

United KingdomThe few guests who put towels on loungers and disappear for the day!
This is a very well run establishment. The owner is “hands on” and greets guests. Everywhere is clean and there’s security guards on the gates. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable. There’s a choice of pools to use. We prefer to self cater so we can try out local eateries. There’s plenty within walking distance but there’s also frequent and inexpensive buses that stop right outside.

United KingdomOur room was closest room to the road on a busy corner so it was noisy. This didn’t actually cause us a problem and I’m not at all noise tolerant
We stayed in a passion fruit suite which was a fabulous spacious suite with everything you could want for a great break. Standard of the finish was high and the grounds of the hotel are beautiful

Good size well equipped room, nice terrace with access to a nice quiet pool. Choice of 3 pools but we only used the one outside our room. Hotel spread over several buildings in landscaped grounds. Plenty of parking. Nice touches like having a bagel in the room on arrival with butter, soft, cheese and marmalade. Free to use chairs and beach umbrellas you could take to the beach just over the road.

United KingdomAlthough this has nothing to do with the hotel, QP across the road has constant music playing until late into the evening and lunch time, this is fine however they have speakers on the road/entrance to the restaurant which is extremely noisy for the hotel guests and very inconsiderate, when none of their guests can hear them
The staff and cleanliness of the hotel along with the location. The food was excellent and a good selection was always available throughout the day

UkraineWe absolutely loved everything! The hotel's territory is very spacious with lots of beautiful plants. It's just a three-minute walk to the beach. The room was light and spacious, outfitted with everything we needed. The owner, David, was always super friendly and helpful. His advice helped us organize our leisure time in the best way. Thanks a lot to the entire Beach View team! If we return to Barbados, we will definitely choose this hotel again.
