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.).

The location was great. There were several great restaurants within walking distance and very easy to find.

United StatesBe careful of what you wear in the pool. My whole groups bathing suits & hats were all "bleached" beyond repair. A few of us had bought new items specifically for the trip and are trash now. RINSE whatever you wear in the pool immediately after you get out ( or wear old items in the pool)
The grounds transport you to a tropical jungle inside the little town of Old Key West. The location was perfect walking distance to either the Marina or to Duvall St.

United StatesWish the pool was deeper then 5 foot, there was a full kitchen but no oven. The pictures on the site did not fully reflect the room we stayed in which was more then I expected. Had I known there was a full kitchen we would have planned our stay differently. No place to park on property so wouldn’t recommend getting a rental.
I really enjoyed being able to go out onto the balcony, having access to the pool and the location of the property. Bike rental on property, beautiful garden and patio area.

United StatesOur room would not be a great location for those who are differently abled as there is no elevator to assist with going up and down the stairs (which are a bit narrow as an older property) and the brick is a little uneven. So if you have need for assistance in these areas, be sure to reach out to the property to see if another onsite location is a bit friendlier for those who are differently abled. The property is wonderful and will be happy to answer your questions.
We stayed in the Cigar House. We absolutely loved the room and the hammock/view. It was incredibly relaxing. There were four of us and it was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was great. There was only one bathroom, but that was absolutely no issue because there was plenty of room to do makeup, hair, etc, outside of the bathroom. We truly loved the physical location as well and were able to walk to all places we wanted without any difficulty.

United StatesThe only thing we wished is that our room had 2 bathrooms instead of 1. We had room #17, the 2 bedroom suite. Everything else was great.
The ladies at the front desk were so sweet, I spoke with 3 of them. They gave us extra room keys, they helped us with bike rentals. They gave me extra pool towels and let us keep our bags in the office after we checked out and before we left for our flight. The woman who worked for housekeeping was very sweet as well when she came in to clean up and change our towels. We absolutely loved the atmosphere, the historic building and large porch that our room had. We loved the courtyard area with the ponds and fish, the water machine was great. The pool was amazing and loved that there was a bathroom and multiple showers by the pool. The bike rentals worked perfectly for us. One of my favorite parts was our little black kitty friend who came to visit us. The location near Duval street was absolutely perfect. Loved this place!

United StatesOur only complaint was that the mattress really needs to be upgraded.
We stayed in the "Arch building" with a great balcony overlooking Eaton St. The room was beautifully appointed, with a small but handy kitchenette. The gardens and pool area are a great escape from the busyness of Old Town.

United StatesWe liked everything except one staff but the rest of the staff were nice.
We really enjoyed the secluded yet tropical atmosphere and waterfall with gold fish. The rooms were big & clean with a kitchen and living room at the Cigar house. The pool was great. Clean towels daily if you want them. The hammocks were so comfortable. The Island City House was close and walking distance (12 minutes) or biking distance (5 minutes) to the main activities including Duvall St. and the coast as well. It is in a safe area. Great place to relax and call Home Base! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

United StatesRoom decor is a bit dated and needed more outlets in bedrooms. Be aware that rooms facing Eaton Street get a lot of vehicular noise; didn't particularly bother us but sitting outside on the porch was noisy during the day.
Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with a sofa bed which worked out well for 3 people. Pool and sitting area are wonderful. Property is located very close to Duval Street and is within walking distance of most attractions.
