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.).

We had the most wonderful 8 day stay at West Rock. It was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful island of Barbados. Really well equipped, super comfortable bed, lovely linen, great shower pressure and a fabulous view from the veranda. A gorgeous beach only a 10 minute walk away. Stacey was fantastic, she gave us really useful info including supermarket opening times, restaurant suggestions, transport options.

JerseyWi-Fi router right at head of bed js a bit worrying. I don’t think the price point is appropriate but it is slim pickings in Barbados.
Loved the two little dogs who came and visited everyday and all the other wildlife. The proximity to Quantum gym, literally 5 min walk down the road pretty much had it to ourselves. The path by side of villas which made an easy walking loop down to beach. The staff were lovely.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at West Rock Villas! The location is perfect, literally a 2 minute drive to the nearest beach (you can also walk there easily) and surrounded by amazing bays and restaurants. The Villas are so clean and private. Couldn’t fault them. They feel really luxurious, perfect location, very well equipped, sea views - everything you could want! Paul was fab, always on hand if we had any questions / needed any advice. We were also able to secure late checkout which was super helpful with our flight not being until late afternoon. Highly recommend staying here and we for sure will be back!!! Thanks so much Paul.

United KingdomNothing!
Wonderful location nestled between Sugar Hill and Westmorelands, surrounded by tranquility. Villas had everything we needed including robes, a personal favourite. Our host Paul was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We loved being surrounded by nature and were thrilled to be visited by the local monkeys. I would recommend a car and would certainly recommend a visit to The Deck at Sugar Hill next door, a short 8-10 walk. The pool area was well maintained and never busy although most of the Villas were occupied. A truly relaxing stay and would love to stay again. Highly recommend. Check out their website. No affiliation, just very happy customers.

United KingdomLoved loved ‘West Rock Villas’! …We have been visiting Barbados for over 30 years and up to now have always stayed in hotels but this year we decided to be alittle more adventurous staying self catering at the ‘West Rock Villas’ there are 6 properties at the moment, 4 one bedroom and 2 two bedroom villas of traditional Barbadian ‘Chattel’ house design these villas are very unique in design both on the exterior and interior having a great location on the area of ‘Westmoreland’, immediately adjacent to the ‘Sugar Hill’ resort which has a great restaurant ‘The Deck’ only a 10 minute walk uphill from the villas, we had brunch on the Saturday served 11-4pm it was delicious and the service was excellent with great views, they have happy hour most evenings too. Before booking West Rock Villas I did my research and read all the reviews and the villa certainly lived up to expectations. I had great communications with Brontë the daughter of the owners before our visit, she answered all my questions/concerns in a very informative friendly manner. On arrival we were greeted by the owner/host Paul who showed us into the villa earlier then the normal check-in time which we very much appreciated. Paul was an excellent host, he couldn’t do enough for during our 6 night stay always asking us if everything was okay. Paul gave us lots of tips and advice including the less than 10 minute walk down a track at the side of the villas to the coast road (sensible footwear required and I wouldn’t use this if it was wet or in the dark but we didn’t have a car so was great for us) which we took advantage of most days catching the local yellow buses to Holetown and Speightstown and many lovely beaches including Reid’s/ Gibbs/Thunder Bay/Mullins and Ciccos beach only a 10 minute walk along the coast road from the track. I would also recommend the beach club at Calma beach bar in Holetown. We had the two bedroom Villa (number 4) it had every amenity you could wish for….

United KingdomWelcomed by the owner of the property. He was immediately so kind and helpful. We had a great relationship throughout our stay. The location was great for us as we had a car, the buses only come twice a day so we didn’t use the local bus. The villas view of the sea was beautiful and we made the most of the pool and bbq too. An absolutely amazing stay!

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at West Rock Villas! The villa was perfect, had everything we needed (including a cot for our baby), and was modern, clean, and very comfortable. Michelle who met us at the property to hand over keys and show us around was extremely helpful during our entire stay, and if we ever needed anything she was always available to help. The location is also great, being far enough away from any busy resorts so that's it very peaceful and quiet, but also only a short walk or drive to some amazing beaches and restaurants/beach bars. We've already booked again for next year, West Rock is perfect!

United KingdomNothing. On reading reviews most people hire cars during stay but we used local taxis and must say they were very prompt and reliable.
We were met at the property and shown round - it really is a stunning villa - beautiful sea views & very well equipped kitchen area. Comfy beds and decorated in a fab beach theme. The pool is so inviting we used it a lot with plenty of sun loungers. Michelle who oversees property is very helpful with lots of useful tips and information. All in all a wonderful stay.

United KingdomWe had the 2 bedroom villa for 2 of us. I think that 4 people would have been a squash, as there was only a 2 seater sofa in the living area. We had some bad weather and had to stay inside, so that would have been a problem for 4. The only other oversight was that there were no manuals for the ovens etc, so we had to google them all.
Lovely villa in a very good position for all the west coast. Beautiful views, and the villa was comfortable. The amenities were great, and the pool and garden very well maintained. We often had the pool to ourselves and the sun beds were very comfortable. The staff were fantastic, the cleaners excellent and Michelle the manager was extremely obliging and helpful. She got us some groceries in before hand and you can WhatsApp her anytime for information, she always got back to us very quickly. We cooked evening meals 5 times and the kitchen facilities were good.

United KingdomMichelle and her team were incredibly welcoming and very easy to communicate with throughout. The TV wasn't working for 1 reason or another, they were quick to rectify and provided a complimentary dinner and bottle of wine to apologise. We were very thankful as we really didn't expect that, but they went 1 step further in providing a late afternoon check out as we had an evening flight back to London. I couldn't recommend Michelle and her team highly enough. If/When we're back in Barbados, we'll be staying at West Rock Villas. Simply awesome.
