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 KingdomSome of the rooms are very hot at night.
It is perfectly located on the beach with direct access to glass bottom boats and views of the local fishing boats too. Ask for Deli for a lovely experience to travel out to the island. The whole experience was amazing due to the wonderful staff who work there. Cherie the house keeper took care of us like a big sister, advising and suggesting anything we needed. Des the security ensured we were safe at all times. His presence really brings a great sense of relaxation and freedom. I’d leave my phone and belongings and just go for a swim knowing nothing would be touched. A safe place from home. Cherie and Des is why we would return for the fun, laughter and love the showered us with. They make Drifters what it is.

United KingdomNo shower holder in our bathroom :( Wifi wasn't really working unfortunately.
Really loved our stay here: can't beat the location, just a stone throw from glorious 7 mile beach! Very nice staff and a lovely outside bar and an own stage (!!) with regular live music. Extra shoutout to Desmond who was amazing! The room itself was bare, but clean and exactly as advertised. All was great, especially considering price and location! We did not mind the ventilation at all, the ceiling fan kept us cool enough at night :)

United KingdomThe kitchen needs an update, especially a new fridge freezer, however, it served its purpose. The room was very hot and mosquito nets missing from window overlooking the bar area.
Fantastic location, exceptionally friendly area, beautiful clean beach. Easy access to town and other amenities. Good selection of local shops and restaurants. Felt very safe, thanks to Desmond, and the local people, and their dogs! Christina was an absolute star, a local encyclopedia and general travel agent, all while keeping us occupied at the bar. She made our stay truly memorable, and we made a friend for life! Thank you all- we'll definitely be back!!

A perfect place to stay if you like 3 times a week live music. 200 m to the beach. The stuff friendly, kind and allways broadly to help. The toilets and showers are very clean. The appliances in the shared kitchen are old but clean. The Root Bamboo is about 2.5 km away. A meeting point for locals and tourists. Live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. West Jamaica Beach is about 4.5 km away. A great place to chill with the best jerk chicken I've ever eaten. With one exception: When there is live music at Drifters, Mom cooks. Best food EVER! And right next to Drifters is a kitchen where the locals eat. 3 or 4 different dishes, super tasty and really inexpensive.

ItalyPossibly the worst internet of any hostels I stayed at in Jamaica, if you are a digital nomad this place won't work but you might be able to use the internet from the resort next door (it was open and free when I visited). Also, not the best place for solo travelers unless it's high season, it's more for couples of a group of friends.
You are right on the beach, the only hostel of this kind in all of Jamaica I believe. Great value for the money, all amenities you might need are nearby. Bar on site and cheap food right next door.
