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.).

CanadaIt's not what I did not like...it's what I think, would compliment the room. A toaster oven to me is mandatory in the room. The wooden walkway to my room from the main walk way is aging and needs to have a quick update to avoid splinters and pop up nails.
The location is perfect...pretty well smack right in the middle of the island. The front office staff, maintenance staff and cleaning staff were extremely accommodating and an enjoy to talk with. Splash's bar food is fantastic. Huge kudos to the chef, as everything on the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu was yummy and had huge portions. They should hold on to her with a raise. The Splash's Bar staff was excellent...however there are a few waitresses that need a smile course. Loved the kayaking and view of the ocean on the beach. Swimming pool was perfect and the right size for the resort. Jolly beach is also a hop, skip and a jump away is amazing to have a few beers or more. Perfect place for families also. The Grit TV (western)channel was nice to watch in the evenings. Need that channel here in Canada.

BahamasThe Kitchenette could've been a little bigger, coffee and sugar could've been provided to make a cup of coffee to start the day. Also a garbage could've been placed in there for convenience.
The location was in close proximity to the Anglican Church in George Town and easy to get to and from the other Settlements, and the Fish Fry.

United StatesThe only place to eat was Splash. The food was okay, but the prices were extremely high. For a family of 4, every meal was $100-$200. Staff was nice, but no one was in a hurry, and only a few went out of their way to accommodate.
Updated interior was very comfortable; free WiFi and modern furnishings. Beautiful view of the beach.

Cayman IslandsLunch and dinner food was very slow. We waited an hour for a plain hamburger to go on an evening where there were very few other people in the restaurant so don't leave it until you are very hungry to order.
plenty of watersports equipment to use. some good places to rest when we had an 8 hour wait until check in time at 4pm, a close easy walk to a selection of fish fry restaurants. breakfast service was friendly and efficient. they had a band in the restaurant one night which was really nice
