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 KingdomIt appears that it has been a very long time since there was any investment in the apartment, from furnishings to maintenance. Many of the power outlets don't actually work. You have the ocean breeze coming right onto the block, and the salty water definitely takes its toll on the building and it's overdue some TLC.
The apartment is right on the beach, we watched all the sunrises from our bed which was amazing. It's a really remote location so it's quite peaceful. There's also parking on site. You can walk right up to kite beach and Oistins is a short drive away (traffic during rush hour can be pretty bad though).

United KingdomOn the whole I just felt the property was a little 'tired'. On reflection, I can see that a lot of it was due to the salt in the air, causing things to become rusty, and I'm guessing that things need replacing more quickly when you live near the sea, which I imagine becomes expensive. Main points that were noted, not disappointing, just slightly underwhelming... we didn't have the hammock that was shown on the photos, the laundry airer was broken so we couldn't easily hang our beach towels, we couldn't get any TV channels to watch and in any case there wasn't really anywhere to sit comfortably and watch it due to the 2 beds that were in the lounge, some of the surfaces and the floor felt a bit grimy but again, I think this was more the salt in the air rather than it not being clean. The salt has also caused a fair bit of rust, which I accept, but some of it was inside the fridge which wasn't overly pleasant for storing food.
It was easy to find and to park our hire car outside. The communication with the property manager was great and we had everything we needed, linen, cleaning materials, functional appliances. The towels and bedding was changed mid-way through the stay which was a nice bonus and it was lovely to have a balcony. It was a really quiet area and we felt safe both in and around the apartment. The bed was comfortable and there was air conditioning in the bedroom.

NorwayThe balcony and rooftop had beautiful views of the ocean. The living room (with two beds) opened straight to the balcony with two large doors - when opening both its like the balcony is part of the living room. Silver Sands is a quiet village away from the busy tourism - this is the real Barbados! There are minivan taxis going nonstop to Oistins (great fish market) and Bridgetown and costs minimal. The beach 250m from the apartment is heaven - only a few lite surfers. Beach is clean and you will have it pretty much to yourself. If you want to get away from the stress and just chill in a lovely peaceful place (like I did), then Ocean Bliss is the perfect place

United KingdomThere was a socket on the main central kitchen island that was broken. It meant i had to plug kitchen appliances into other sockets away from the kitchen area. I was also unable to work the hot water. There was also no instructions on how to operate the safe. The Ocean view was nice but it is not totally unobstructed due to 2 large properties in front of the apartments. The advertising doesnt tell you this and suggests complete Ocean Bliss!
The ocean view on my balcony was good.

SwitzerlandLoud pump system between the two apartment buildings. could be disturbing to some. For the ground floor apartments, for safety, there is a railing which might get you think you are in prison :) Though you feel really safe everywhere.
Great price/value, excellent location for kitesurfers. silver rock is couple of minutes walk, very convenient. The apartmant was very clean, and spacious, will go back here! Amazing vibe and great local people.

Trinidad and TobagoIt was a bit out of the way, far from amenities, beaches and entertainment. This is perfect for Persons into surfing as the nearby beach is a surfer’s paradise, not for the average sea bather given the rough seas. If it weren’t for my rental and google maps things would have been more difficult
The proximity to the ocean, to be able to enjoy the sea breeze and hear the waves at night was relaxing. The staff were super nice and the apartment clean though a bit dated.

United KingdomThe stairs up to the apartment was a challenge with the luggage. No one on site on the day of arrival to welcome me in. I arrived on Sunday.
The apartment is spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the Atlantic sea. Having to quarantine for a few days I didn't feel pened in.The roof deck provided space for me to walk around and stretch my legs. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped for use. A small welcome pack of tea n coffee would have been a nice touch The two ladies managing the facility, Carla and Lisa were very helpful.

CanadaThe apartment could have been a little cleaner on arrival (my reason for the 9/10), but when housekeeping came in during our stay, they did an excellent job. This is my only negative feedback. The only other thing I would mention is that there are very few places within walking distance to eat, which did not bother us, but is something to be aware of if you are thinking of booking this.
Peaceful setting, feeling as though we were experiencing the real Barbados, away from the main tourist areas, the sound of the waves, turtle spotting and star gazing from the roof top, the well equipped apartments, the friendly and helpful hosts (Carla and Lisa), value for money.

United KingdomI would strongly advise renting a car if you drive if you want to stay there but there are very accessible taxi services and a nearby bus stop. The nearest convenience stores and cashpoint/ATM are 10 min drive away
The apartment was surprisingly way bigger than expected, 10 min drive from the airport and 12 minutes drive from the nearest town centre (Oistins). I do not drive but managed easily to get into town as it is not too far. The property was fully furnished and very well put together. Flat 7 is definitely a "Home away from Home". Lisa, the property manager, was an absolute gem: Always ever so friendly and always happy to assist throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure I was having an enjoyable and memorable experience until my last day. Furthermore, she recommended activities, places to visit and gave me general directions and advice. She also helped me with the booking of my PCR tests and the general maintenance of my flat during my stay.
