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 StatesThe property is very dated. The coffee maker in the room did not work. There was no breakfast as advertised. The soap and shampoo were very small.
The shower had great pressure. It was close to where we needed to be.

United StatesFrom our perspective the mattresses were quite soft. Most eateries were two or three miles away in other parts of Palatka. The former food and drink purveying establishments on the premises seemed to be no longer functioning.
Crystal Cove is very quiet and far from almost any incidental traffic. Beyond a few boats anchored at a couple of wharves and several parked RVs the place had an almost abandoned air.

United StatesThe hotel is a little further out of town o n we thought but not bad. The sad thing is the bar and grill at the on property marina was no longer in operation. We had intended to sit at the tiki bar on the water and enjoy a few drinks without having to drive anywhere (and possibly enjoy some food and live music - a relative told us they had both) but were disappointed that it had closed permanently just before our visit.
The room was clean and comfortable but a little dated. The lady that checked us in was very nice and informative.

United StatesThe hotel's site says they have a continental breakfast, but there is none, just a coffee, not even a tea or decaf coffee. The furniture, chairs in particular is really worn out. And they have this weared pond inside with fish which looks odd and dirty.
it was a large comfortable room. There is a home-size refrigerator (we stayed there for daily bike rides and had a lot of food). They are cleaning every day, making the beds, and changing towels.

United KingdomMy only gripe is given the curious design of the hotel there was some noise though not disruptive from the central atrium , the design is such that a large communal space is adjacent to many rooms that are off from it , there are seating areas but also a pool table , which attracts players at all ours so the clicking of balls etc is a bit odd at 5am .I think management might want to reconsider the situation of the table away from rooms where gusts are sleeping ? other than that no issues and I would stay again
The hotel is situated a few minutes out of Palatka with all of it resources , it has a large parking area suitable for RV and boats etc with easy access off the highway with it being riverside many visitors would have direct access to the river system for boating fishing etc , there was no breakfast served at time of stay March 23 , but free coffee in the mornings , the rooms I found were spacious and everything worked as it should , cleaned to a good standard either as a base for the area or a spot to boat etc then this is a good choice at good price point .
