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 StatesNot a quiet stay you could hear people in other rooms and the hallways. We also expected a little bit of street noise but we didn't expect to hear absolutely everything. There were gaps in the balcony doors and windows were thin so every noise came into the room wish it was a little more sound proofed.
Great location to everything we wanted to do. Very beautiful and clean property. Staff was great and very helpful

Loved that it was a adult only property. The house is well kept and the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are decorated well even with the age of the house.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaThe room smelled like mildew and was damp. The air conditioning unit was loud and found it hard to sleep with it running.
Our room was located by the pool and had a private patio. The pool was generally quiet, there were always available chairs. The entire property was well kept and very cozy. Breakfast was included and was a nice surprise. Would definitely consider staying here again.

United StatesWe did not like the being detached from the property. Although only three doors down on Caroline St., it felt like the building we stayed in was somewhat of an afterthought. Even just a few small additions (like it's own ice machine and water dispenser) would have been a huge help. The latches on the gates are quite frustrating. We witnessed many folks, including ourselves, having trouble with the gates as they 1) are not clear how to operate at first 2) require two hands to use - which is often not easy when carrying bags, luggage, ice, and/or water.
Great location! Room and property felt fresh and updated. The pool area, although small, was a nice little oasis. Only two blocks away from Duvall St., and Mallory Square.

United StatesNo hotel property provided parking options which we knew going in. To nitpick a few television channels we enjoy were not available and blacked out.
Convenient location. We were close to everything we wanted to be. Great touch by providing complimentary bikes for a day, we enjoyed that. Provided a couple daily complimentary adult beverages, but we missed out on most of those because of the timing and activities we participated in. Nice clean and comfortable room. Bathroom/Shower was updated, clean and had plenty of space for Key West hotel room. Friendly staff. Love the fact that they are pet friendly!

United StatesThere should be some type of agreement with nearby parking for guests. I realize it says no parking on premises but there truly was NO parking available that wasn't horribly expensive and inconvenient; having to go back at 8am and re-pay so the car wouldn't be towed. I expected a better service.
I nice facility, quiet and in great location Pool was nice, clean and well cared for Room was a bit small but we weren't in it much

United KingdomWe can't think of anything - apart from would like to have stayed longer and hopefully we will be back one day.
The Reception was welcoming and the 'Welcome refreshment' was lovely, thank you. The location of the hotel was great - a short walk to many restaurants, shops and places to visit. The breakfast was excellent with a plentiful selection for a continental breakfast. We stayed in Room 11 - a lovely room to the side of the swimming pool (unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to try the pool!) - the bed was very comfortable and the ensuite with shower, excellent.

United StatesCaroline Street is very busy, so there is quite a bit of traffic. It can be loud at night. Easily remedied with ear plugs!
The Ridley House is just beautiful. We had a room with a porch. The room was very spacious, with tall ceilings and windows. It had the vintage structure with modern furniture vibe that I love. It was easy to control the room temperature. It had a refrigerator that kept drinks cold without freezing them. The bathroom was just lovely and had the best water pressure of anywhere I have ever stayed in Key West. Get a porch!!!!!! We sat out there every night and people watched and relaxed! We found the office staff to be gracious and very helpful. Breakfast was simple but very good and they have boiled eggs as well as granola, fruit, yogurt, bagels and pastries. The pool and pool area are lovely.
