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 StatesNo complaints about hotel or service. Wish it was slightly closer to the shops & restaurants. Probably great if you had a bicycle, but a little too far to walk in the summer heat.
Comfy bed. Nice water pressure in shower. Neat and clean. Plenty of free parking.

United StatesThe only thing I would like to see is a small microwave to heat up leftovers from dining out.
The room was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. Nice towels. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. El Patio is a quaint little retro motel. It is located in Old Town, convenient to the beach, sights restaurants and Duval St. It's a bare bones motel but a great value. If you're looking for all the frills of big name hotels, this is not the motel for you. If you're looking for a clean room that's a great value then look no further.

Staff were very friendly during our stay. Location of this property is perfect for us as it was close to the beach but away from the busy and congested central are of Duval St. The rooms were very spacious as well.

AustraliaBathroom was on the small size.
It is difficult to find a well priced property in Key West. El Patio is perfect. It had a nice feel to the rooms, nothing too fancy, but very comfortable. Nice to have a pool and also parking. Walkable distance (20-30 mins) to the Old District, so don't need to drive while in Key West.

ItalyOverall in need of renovation. The window-mounted AC unit is old, terribly noisy and sends a strong airflow directly to one of the beds. Leave it on and you can’t fall asleep and get a cold, switch it off and you sweeten like hell.
Superb location, close to the Southernmost Point, the Historical District, Rest Beach, Higgs Memorial Beach Park, Fort Zachary Taylor park etc. Spacious room with decent bathroom (though it is a challenge to wash your face and hands in the Barbie-size sink). For 16 USD a day you can rent bikes, perfect means to explore Key West.
