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.).

CyprusJust be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sundays (as everything else on the island). However, our breakfast at the Yacht Club that day was kindly compensated. The hot tub wasn't functioning.
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were greeted at the airport and taken on a complimentary tour of the island. In close proximity to the airport. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful common areas.

GermanyWe requested someone to meet us at the airport upon arrival (we didn't realize how close it was), but no one was there. Some updating of the accommodations would improve things (repair leaking window in the dining area, replace / repair air conditioners so that they work properly and don't leak massive amounts of condensation into the room). The kitchen could be more thoroughly fitted and with newer items (very old pots and pans, limited cutlery / dishes)
We appreciated the warm welcome, the assistance with trying to arrange excursions, and having our own little house during our stay. Also the convenient location next to the airport enabled us to walk between the two (even with luggage). The accommodation was neatly prepared, with plenty of extra towels for pool, etc. The receptionist also provided advice about places to visit on the island.

United StatesThe rooms were old but were comprable for the price that we paid. The bed was old and sinking in. There was a party on the property that went on until 2:30 in the morning for two days. It was difficult to sleep listening to that all night.
Breakfast was included and was delicious but you have to remember your on island time so don't be in a hurry to get it. The staff was very nice and let us keep the golf cart the last day so that we didn't have to walk to the airport in the rain. Sometimes the staff would not be in the office but when they were, they were very accommodating.

A gorgeous island paradise. The staff were friendly, helpful and kind. We had a fantastic time at Embrace Resort. Our accommodations we very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and exploring the island. The staff work hard to make your stay enjoyable. Shout out to Nikki, Tajia, Gabby, Dexi, Dee, Davanta and all the other staffers and workers. Make sure you take an excursion to see several great places in the area. Captain K was the best!! The pool was clean and refreshing.

United StatesWe spent 4 nights at Embrace for my daughter's 18th birthday and had a lovely time! Gabbi and her sisters took great care of us. Our cottage (Exuma) was well-appointed (and reasonably priced given the space of two bedrooms, large upstairs living room and full kitchen and dining space, and two decks upstairs and downstairs overlooking the small pool). Plenty of movies for us to watch on TV at night. A/C in every room is quiet and works great - but we did not need it downstairs, as nights were cool (April). Embrace has one of two actual restaurants on the island (the other being the Yacht Club) and serves from breakfast until 9pm, which was a great boon for us, given that stores close at 5:30pm and several other advertised restaurants do not seem to actually exist or else are never open. Gabbi also rented us a golf cart which was very useful for getting around the island. Embrace set up for us our excursion to Pig Beach, sandbar, snorkeling with sharks (my personal favorite), grotto (we skipped) and iguanas. Our boat captain (Captain Perry) is of good cheer and worked to make sure we had a good time at each stop. We had brought our own snorkel gear but Cap'n Perry had gear available to borrow in a pinch. We asked for a second trip back to Pig Beach, which Gabbi's sister set up for us (for a reasonable price even though we were the only ones on the boat). There were plenty of other options for excursions (to Land and Sea Park, for example) that Embrace would have arranged for us if we had the time. Basically, Cap'n Perry or Cap'n "Fishy" will take you wherever you want to go with a day's notice. All in all very positive experience. We would stay at Embrace again if we return to Staniel Cay.

PolandNoise form the airplanes but fortunately mostly in the mornings and evenings only. More glasses and other kitchen equipment in the rooms would be helpful.
Hotel is very conveniently situated close to the airport and main attractions of Staniel Cay. Rooms are spacious and quite well equipped. There is a small pool and space to relax just opposite all villas. Breakfast were good and local restaurant served also lunch, dinner and drinks. Staff was very attentive and friendly. We would stay there again if we visit Staniel Cay in future.

CanadaThe bed was very uncomfortable and the resort is located right next to the airport which makes the mornings and afternoons (when there's flights in and outbound) very loud.
The resort staff are friendly and try to help as best as they can. All the basics one needs are provided in the room.

The ladies running the Embrace resort were all extremely helpful and friendly. Really made for a wonderful stay. We also loved the swimming pool - great to cool off in. And the food at the cafe was delicious, with a varied menu. The bed was also very comfortable. Staniel Cay is a very special place. And staying at the Embrace Resort was an absolutely fantastic experience for us.

United StatesStaniel Cay is an amazing vacation destination due to close proximity of Thunderball Grotto, Iguana beach, Pig island and Compass Cay for Shark petting, AND the Embrace Resort is a really good choice. Rooms are more than adequate and having stayed there twice now and in 2 different villas I can reliably make that statement. Value is the real issue as we paid $30 USD for 2 coffees, and about the same price for 2 mixed drinks in the evening at the on site Cafe. Fortunately our breakfast was included in the booking so that was a substantial savings each day - and we dont go on vacation here to scrimp but it was just very high prices for some things. Same with Golf cart rental at $60/day - that is more than a car in many places! Do go see pirates beach! It is 10 minute easy walk from Embrace and is simply breathtaking. Also, if you have the time rent a boat and go to Little Farmers Cay 12NM to the South and enjoy Tys on the water, or venture to The Ocean Cabin for some great local food.
