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.).

JamaicaSadly our never got cleaned during our stay. I asked about it and it was clearly some miscommunication amount the staff.
It was quiet, no traffic noises only the sound of the sea and the music in the background.

United KingdomThe food was expensive for what it was. The breakfast that was included was OK but the other meals off the menu was a bit basic for the cost.
Setting was nice. Location was 10 mins drive from the centre. It had a small private beach. The room was nice and big with a balcony overlooking the sea

JamaicaThe gatekeepers at the beach adjacent to the property told us we couldn't stay on that side of the beach unless we paid.
The king rooms on the first floor are great. Sand and Tan is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the sound of the sea while you sleep. The property's location is also a plus; it is not far from the town.

Right on the beach, I booked it just for it’s position, but the surrounding area is a bit sketchy. Room was big. It was nice to be able to have dinner and drinks on your own balcony.

Czech RepublicThis lovely hotel was the cheapest in Ocho Rios right next to the sea and it is visible everywhere in the hotel. There is no luxury anywhere. For sleeping it is more than sufficient. A bed is big and perfect for sleeping, not soft, not hard. The staff is very friendly, with typical Jamaican English :) The staff here is a hotel treasure We choose only breakfast included and it is served from 7:30 Jamaican time (this means sometimes 7:45, sometimes 8:00 you will able to tell your order) Menu includes eggs for many variances. Rarely is available bacon :). Fruit is just two small pcs. For dinner is possible to go out, just a 5-minute walk, or to order right in the hotel. For coconuts we can recommend a small shop next to the road and petrol station, there are friendly women with lots of coconuts 6 times cheaper. Activities are expensive here. Snorkeling on the hotel beach does not make sense, visibility is sometimes almost zero, at the best time 2 meters max. You can order local fishermen to take you to another place like Reagge Beach is for snorkeling. If you order someone from the local fishing village, you will pay a lot instead of catching some fisherman from another town crossing the hotel pier. Taxi to town you can use from the local fisherman's village for 30 USD every person, or walk on the coastal Highway (7min walks) and in the petrol station wave on a taxi and you will be charged 2USD to 5USD. Visiting Jamaica in December is not a good choice because of the rough sea with low visibility and a lot of rain. the country is beautiful but full of rubbish everywhere

JamaicaThe hotel is in a hidden alley mouth, but there is no billboard to guide the route, originally left one minute to arrive, the result is lost, I hope the hotel in the navigation of the second gas station intersection to increase the hotel sign, in order to facilitate guests to find the route to the hotel

SwedenThe other half of the hotel that is in disrepair is ugly. The road in needs some patching. Those potholes are a little too much.
It's right on the beach. That is so hard to find in Ochi. The food is really good. The Feta Bruschetta is so good. Red Stripes at the Sunset Bar. The sound of the waves right outside your door. The river just next door. The Fisherman's village people. The Jamaican breakfast option everyday. The staff are all great. The price is great.

FinlandThe place is a bit run down. Apparently the second half of the hotel is closed down and they modified the operational part to have a small restaurant. Room was spacious and the view from the balcony was great! Toilet did not flush properly even after asking twice to fix it. Probably they did half-magic as it did work for a while. Staff is not particularly happy or service oriented. Food quality is hit and miss. The seafood pasta was very good but others could have a lot to improve.
The hotel was immediately next to the beach and the hotel has a small private beach
