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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

SwedenExpensive breakfast, not enough seating place for our family of five in the apartment with beds enough for us all. We also got some ants to our room on the last day, which didn't wanna leave... They were finding their way thanks to some candy my daughter had next to her bed, so can't be blamed on the hotel as such, but it was unfortunate that we couldn't get help to get them removed as they were invading the beds on the top floor and the kids refused to sleep there completely afterwards.
Nice rooms, fabulous neighborhood, good facilities on the premise.

CanadaThe restaurant was sadly disappointing. We ate there 5 times during our stay. Twice, ingredients were missed entirely from my food and 2 other times, they forgot to tell me they were out of items and brought me my dish made with different ingredients than what I ordered. They also brought me a bill with someone else’s food included which I’m glad I just happened to look at before paying. The staff also couldn’t answer basic questions about the menu. The service wasn’t great which was a complete 180 from the service at the hotel which was sad as we really wanted to love it.
The front desk staff were absolutely top notch - lovely people! They went above and beyond to answer questions and help with whatever was needed. Incredible customer service! The grounds were beautiful, loved the 2 pools after a hot day of sightseeing. The bed was comfortable and the room was very nice. We loved the charm of the hotel. The location was great for us - walking distance to many restaurants and the sights of Willemstad but also very peaceful.

United StatesNo complaints.
Staff and location are great. Wifi is strong and worked seamlessly for us. There is also a small lagoon behind the hotel that isn't clearly visible in the pictures online-- this is a great place for snorkeling and we saw the most interesting fish of the entire trip in here!

CanadaCould be a little quieter (our room was near the restaurant)
Swimming in the Caribbean was much more accessible than we thought it would be. We brought our masks/snorkels and saw just as many fish at the Lodge as we did at the beaches an hour away.

NetherlandsOur studio was next to the road so quite some noise from construction work and traffic. This studio didn’t have a small area to sit outside (only a small bench next to the busy road which isn’t very comfortable).
Big, comfortable, clean studio with a well equipped kitchen. Great shower. Daily cleaning and towels. Very friendly staff! Next to the beach and great pool. Super nice to drink a cocktail or have a meal with your feet in the sand. Reservations needed, because super busy.

United KingdomWe got upgraded when we arrived which was lovely. But then we weren’t sure why as first night we had a screaming baby underneath us 3-4am and then construction work right outside our window (shutters so sound comes straight through) started at 7:30am. We asked in the morning if we could move rooms - they only had a basic room available but at least it was away from the noise. They also made up the room to make up for it. No vegan options in their restaurant
Lovely location but the sea and near Peitermaai. Also did the Westpunt dive with the partner dive centre which was lovely.

The staff, as first point of contact, were really welcoming, helpful and friendly. We upgraded to an ocean view room, at Ghislaine’s suggestion, with a big balcony and it was superb. So glad we did. Breakfast was delicious. Location excellent as walking distance into main town and pick-up point for trips.

It’s a beautiful set of 5 historic buildings in a very good location. Our room was very nice and all of the staff were very nice as well. The infinity pool was great and being able to access the ocean for a swim was a big bonus. Having a restaurant/bar onsite was very convenient.
