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.).

JamaicaThe room didn’t had hot water, we live on the water running for 10min and the water just get room temperature, reception sent a plumber to see what happened, he open the robinete and the shower ones to allow the water to run faster m, he stays for another 15 min aprox in our room by the time we was ready to go for dinner, the hot water finally came but in the morning same story, no hot water and we had to check out, no time to wait. Another think the walls are from paper, you can hear all the talk from the other rooms, and we where unlucky that our neighbors were very loud, so we could not sleep before 2am until they sleep.
We liked the location only

United StatesOutdated. No dresser in room. No table in room. No hot water. Employee entered room during the night unannounced and uninvited…when we got to the door he ran away. When we talked to the front desk we were told it was hotel protocol….. completely unacceptable . If indeed it was hotel protocol the employee should not have run away he should have explained himself.

United StatesI DO NOT LIKE THAT THE FRONT ENTRANCE AREA HAS BEEN REDUCED TO ACCOMODATE THE ADJOINING RESTAURANT-Bacon Bish. I also wish that you did not have to walk so far to use the resort fee amenities like bike rentals.
Bosay(sp?) Is ALWAYS PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL AND ACCOMMODATING when we stay at Essex. We have been staying here for years and will always choose this hotel when traveling to South beach. I love the smell of the lobby (they should put that scent in the rooms) . I love that the suite rooms have jacuzzi tubs for relaxation.

DenmarkTHE ADVERTISEMENT ON BOOKING.COM WAS REALLY MISGUIDING. IT SHOWS AND MENTIONS THE HOTEL HAS A POOL. THIS IS NOT FULLY THE CASE. THE SISTER HOTEL HAS THE POOL, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE 21 YEARS OLD TO ATTEND. THIS IS NOT MENTIONED OR CLEAR. SO, IN MY CASE, TRAVELING WITH MY DAUGHTER, WE HAD TO FIND OUT AFTER BOOKING WHEN ASKING AT THE HOTEL. THIS IS REALLY BAD MARKETING AND ADVERTISEMENT OF THE HOTEL AND, AS A GUEST, REALLY DISAPPOINTING.
STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO LEAVING THE HOTEL BEFORE TIME. STAFF WAS ONLY SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL.

United StatesThe parking prices are ridiculous, I think the guest of the hotel should at least get a deal or more so free parking besides the public . Or there needs to be only a designated parking for the quests !
The location was perfect, walking distance to a lot of things we wanted to do ! Would definitely be staying here again my next visit !!
