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.).

South AfricaThe noise in the main road right infront of the one room was very noisy at times, the kids got woken by cars that sped up and down the road. The wifi was completely down, and the dstv did not work at all. I do believe that new owners are sorting out some minor issues, I would deffinetly visit there again!!!
I loved the fact that everything one needs is in walking distance, the staff were super friendly and helpfull.

South AfricaThe 2nd bedroom doesn't have airconditioning, and the fans throughout aren't powerful enough. In the middle of summer it is impossible to sleep. I didn't mind the prepaid aircon unit, i think it's great but add another aircon into the 2nd bedroom. The units although clean are a bit dated, they do need a bit of an upgrade. I would still visit again, would probably just bring a fan too!
The apartment is well sized with all the amenities you could need. The pool is great and very family friendly. The strict noise rules are appreciated. House keeping were there daily which is great and the apartment is well positioned in St Lucia.

South AfricaWater pressure is not great but we survived. The swimming pool is big and clean. Pool hours 08h00 to 20h00 - this is rather early for pool to close in hot summer months.
Lovely town. Flamingo is situated in the main road but very close to the beaches. We enjoyed the main swimmjng beach and Ingwe beach. Mission rocks is closeby and so beautiful. We saw turtle swimming in the ocean. Cape Vidal is lovely. Beach is amazing at low tide. There is lots to do and see in St Lucia and we loved waking into town every night. All units face the swimming pool. We swam every day. Staff were very pleasant. You wont be sorry.

GermanyLoad shedding is massive (like 11.5h on one day of our stay) in St Lucia and affects the unit heavily, like the water pump and electric stove. Also are there general wifi issues in St Lucia area. Both issues only reflect on the town, not Flamingo, who are the prime victims.
Much bigger than the pictures imply. Clean and well equipped. Staff communicated very proactive during and before the stay. Housekeeping staff is very thoughtful and hard working. We saw some guests having their coffee just next to the housekeeper doing the dishes for them - in our opinion that isn't a necessary service and every guest should take care of their own dirty dishes.
