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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesGetting a cab to and from the hotel if you're not coming from the airport is a bit challenging. We had to have our waiter drive us back from a nearby restaurant because the cab he ordered never came, and the cab we ordered for a 6am pickup through the hotel staff never came. We were forced to rely on the kindness of a neighborhood resident to take us to the airport as there was no one on staff at 6am to help us when our taxi didn't show up. It would be good if the the hotel was staffed earlier to help get people to the airport or give guests the name and number of the taxi driver so they can follow up themselves. The neighborhood is a lovely residential neighborhood with restaurants and bars about a 15-20 minute walk away. Unfortunately, there are no sidewalks or streetlights, so getting back after dark requires a taxi.
The Stones Throw Away is a great hotel for arriving in Nassau and connecting to a flight the next day to another island in the Bahamas. It's a quick cab ride from the airport, there's a nice pool and the rooms are very comfortable. The veranda is a beautiful place to enjoy a cocktail or breakfast - which we unfortunately didn't have since we had an early flight in the morning.

United KingdomOnly one of our pillows was soft - it would have been nice to have had another.
The property has lots of character - unlike the larger hotels in Nassau. It’s not a luxury hotel but it’s comfortable. The rooms are spacious. We had a room overlooking the garden but in fact because the hotel is on a hill we had far reaching views over the residential areas of Nassau which was lovely. We could see the airport in the distance but we couldn’t hear the planes. We would definitely book again.

It’s in a quiet part of town- away from major tourist areas, but still very convenient for going out. We loved coming back to our little oasis with garden view. Our balcony was so lovely.

United StatesBeautiful little gem... over looking the coast. Property sit up on a cliff. Convenient walk to a couple restaurants and only about a mile away from the airport. Staff was accommodating and even ran us to the airport when a taxi was slow to respond. We had a garden court room but the view from the room was still spectacular.

United StatesIt is the little things. The wifi is non-existent. The television in my room did not work. The shower head was stuck on a strange and sort of unpleasant setting.
The staff is lovely, as are the grounds. The pool is in a beautiful garden. The view of the ocean is superb, and the ocean is a five minute walk down the hill. The hotel restaurant serves outstanding, truly outstanding Indian dishes, eaten on a lovely deck looking out on the sea. This hotel feels like a secluded paradise. A pleasant place to stay.

United StatesWhen you leave the hotel there isn’t a specific walk way to get to the local beaches or restaurants. You have to be very careful because the cars are going fast and there’s blind spots. Potentially dangerous.
We liked the location of the property set in an elevated position with sea view. Consequently there are numerous steps so not suited to guests with young children or people with mobility issues. It’s a small hotel in a less tourist developed area of the island. It felt more personal staying here compared to a large resort. There are some good restaurants within walking distance. We had dinner at the property one evening. The chef prepared an Indian meal to our specific requests and it was delicious.
