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 beach at resort! The price is outrageous considering you have only 2 pools .. Restaurant food could be better… barely warm, fruit was not ripe at all. Wait to long for ride to room & the walk is almost impossible.
Breakfast at cafe was Delicious!! Those lovely ladies made it fresh while you wait.

The property was beautiful and had plenty of things to do inside the resort. The club cars were so convenient as well.

United StatesI called ahead of time to confirm booking, and the staff were not very helpful at all. Also, I was not aware that cleaning would not be done each day. Finally, Margaritaville provides price listings for taxi's, however the taxi drivers charge way more. This looks like fraud on the part of both parties. Kelly drivers indicate that Margaritaville does not know the exact prices. However, I am very aware of how taxi drivers increase prices in the VI as they choose. If Kelly is practicing this behavior, this looks terribly bad for Margaritaville. Please address this matter. This was very stressing during my stay.
I liked the room and location of the property.

United StatesIt is hilly so expect to walk a lot of stairs. Or take the shuttles, which don't come around all the time.
Hill top pool was the best spot! Happy hour drinks were incredible deals. Food was really good. The beach was just ok but Coki beach is close by and nice. Sapphire beach is a short drive up the road and was amazing. The town of Red Hook was a few minutes past Sapphire beach and had good places to eat and night life.

United StatesThe stairs were really hard for my elderly mother.
The grounds are beautiful, We stayed in building 12 on the mountain top and my 78 year old mother had a hard time walking down the stairs to the main restaurants or parking lots. There are shuttles but they was not a set schedule. It was a pretty good system but maybe double check how well people do with stairs when booking rooms.

United StatesDid not eat breakfast but the food at the restaurant was good. grounds pristine. Golf carts were prompt and the drivers were excellent. The happy hour at the hillside pool is great with a great view and the bartender Cam is amazing. You can't swim in the beach due to seaweed which the grounds crew works hard to remove everyday, but you can sit there and relax, you can also just walk 4 minutes to Coki which is nice or take a taxi to other beaches or a 20 minute ferry to St. John, which I would recommend. The rooms are very nice and there is entertainment by the family pool.

United StatesThe only downside is we could not swim at the Beach at Margaritaville.
We loved it here! Our room was perfect. Had a beautiful ocean view. The staff were kind and helpful. The rooms are up on a hill but there was always staff driving around picking guests up. The pools were awesome, especially the hilltop pool and swim up bar.

United StatesPillows More food options would be nice.
Based on the reviews I was just hoping our stay would be good. Very happy to say our room was great, clean, and great location just below the hilltop adult pool. All the staff was friendly, helpful and available. We had no seaweed, but it is a small beach. Make sure you make it to St. John's. Cabs are easy to find. $24 Each to resort from Airport. $8 each To Red Hook. 18% tip is added to all checks for food and drinks. Very happy to say we enjoyed our stay!

United StatesThe lighting in the room is awful. There’s no overhead light and the reading lights are focused on the end table, not the place you’d be lying on the bed and reading. You need a taxi to get anywhere and every taxi ride is $15 per person. The food at the restaurant is very ordinary. But by far the worst thing is that when you check in, before they give you the keys, they try to sell you a package that requires you to go to a sales lecture. After 10 hours of travel, I found myself saying over and over, “No, thank you. Can I have my keys now, please?”
The location is stunning. The facilities are comfortable. There are two swimming pools, and I swam in both. There is a nice beach at the facility and a nicer beach a short walk away. There are four hammocks. There are places to play pool and football and giant chess and other games. Every room has an outdoor sitting area which I enjoyed. There are great kitchen facilities in the room (everything but a stove)
