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 stayed at Westskye for nearly 3 weeks and had a great holiday. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and our hosts Clive and Sheldeen couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived late but Sheldeen drove us into Holetown so that we could get some much-needed beer at the gas station. After a long stressful journey it was much appreciated to be able to sit out on the raised seating area with a beer, looking out over the sea, just relaxing. The following morning she took us into Holetown again so that we could get some cash and do a mountain of shopping at Massy's - then she brought us home again! The apartment has a good sized and well equipped kitchen/dining area, there is a compact sitting area with comfortable seating and a TV, the bedroom has a very comfortable bed and A/C and there is an en-suite bathroom. Outside there are a couple of chairs & a small table, then you have the lovely raised seating area which enables you to sit and look out over the beach while enjoying a drink. The wi-fi signal is strong. The apartment is right by the beach - there is a high wall but go out of the back gate and there is a door through the wall. Go down a short flight of steps and you're on the beach. If you want you can rent chairs and an umbrella (BD$45) from Rico's on the beach but the apartment has two folding chairs which you can take on the beach for free. One day, after it had been raining, I slipped on the steps to the beach. When they found out Clive and Sheldeen pressure washed the steps, even though it wasn't their responsibility. If you don't want to cook Ju Ju's beach bar is a short walk away and serves good value fish platters, but they close early (6.15pm is roughly last orders for food). There are a couple of expensive restaurants nearby, otherwise it's easy to get a bus into Holetown where there's more choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westskye.

United KingdomApartment was small and the view was limited from the inside.
The apartment could not have been better equipped. The hosts had thought of everything that guests were likely to need and provided it. An elevated area with sunshade, overlooking the beach, was available for guests. Good beach was yards/metres away and several others within walking distance. Many nearby restaurants along the beach. Supermarket and many others stores within walking distance (1 to 2 km). Parking adjacent to accommodation. Very friendly, helpful hosts e.g. they told us when men working on a nearby building were needing to drill and delayed the drilling until we went out. We were allowed to check in early.

SurinameTheir is nothing I didn't like, but I did miss table spoons. There were just tea spoons, no table spoons.
The beach was almost the backyard of the appartement and that was a real plus for me. The host has thought about all the beach stuff you might use (beach chairs, beach bag, blanket, buggy board, floaty noodles, towels, etc.) The appartement is snug and homey. The hosts are super friendly. My partner loves to cook and the appartement had all the appliances so he was very pleased.

A beach towel, beach chairs, beach picnic bag, freezer pack, etc. everything you’ll need. the A/C is great and the place is very secure and safe. A perfect place for a single or couple.

IrelandSt James is further from the town than I expected. Taxi's are more expensive because of the distance but there are many buses. I'm glad I had the chance to stay on the West side of the Island. I don't like to go someplace and only experience a limited part. There are buses straight to Oistins so there is no shortage of transport !
I had previously stayed at a different side of the island and St James is the swanky part of town. The beach adjacent to the property was terrific and when snorklling, you can see small fishes close to the beach. The apt was kitted out with appliances I wouldn't have expected, including blender. There was even a place to catch a sunset view
