Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe hotel allowed pets . I had no idea. My allergies were the worse during my stay . $400 per night and the guest in on my floor were very noisy. There were at least 3 rooms at a minimum that were loud . My room smelled like animals. The front desk clerk said that the rooms were sold out so I wasn’t able to move to a different floor . I was called / texted several times before my arrival to confirm my stay and they threatened to cancel my room if I didn’t make it in my noon . Luckily I arrived right at 12:31 so I was able to check into my room, but had I known that my stay wouldn’t have been comfortable i would have just allowed them to sell my reservation. We checked out the next day and stayed at a different hotel about 3 miles away from this one . I’m very pleased with my 2nd hotel choice. The resort itself is very family / pet friendly so if that’s your preference then I would recommend the Hilton garden inn
The hotel was clean and on the beach which was very convenient

United States of AmericaRoom smelled like mildew. There was a sewage smell in the hall one day. Witnessed management berating an employee in front of everyone. Felt this unnecessary. Desk staff seemed rude.
Great location, beautiful pool, and short walk to the beach. Clean common areas.

United States of AmericaMy room was changed after I had already checked in and received my room number, which would have been a room with a pool view and partial but decent view of the gulf, because the prior guest decided at the last minute to stay an extra night. Instead I ended up with a view of the condo next to the hotel and could barely see the gulf only if I pressed my face to the glass and looked left. The staff attempted to make up for this with several credits and vouchers, which was appreciated. However, the disappointment of the crappy view each morning remained.
Right on the beach. Great amenities. Close to downtown Fort Walton and only 10 minutes from Destin. Restaurant and bar on site.

United States of AmericaSo just a few healthy gripes. The big one... no wifi or cell access in our room. Technically if this was planned by the hotel, I'd love them for the idea. We were almost completely cut off from the outside world (because we also had no cell service in our room) which made for a wonderful... (truly) wonderful vacation. Our room had some slight damage to the inside bottom of the bathroom door and to the frame of the same door, and while not earth shattering... for the price of this hotel mid-summmer it's something you'll notice. A personal gripe, I didn't like that there was a sense of an obligation to tip servers for a self-service breakfast. Again, our theme was... for the price of the room and services... and the price of the breakfast... the least comfortable feeling was the obligation to tip a waiter for a self serve breakfast. Also, last small gripe... In the children's rooms, it's lovely that the deck door is not at a child's height. It would be equally lovely if none of the switches in the rooms were at children's height. Probably not possible but... would be lovely. Our 3 y/o had great fun flipping all the lights on and off. Anyway, I loved our stay and I'll definitely return in the future.
So we loved the location of this hotel, we had a 3 day / 2 night stay and it was perfect for a beach day... an aquarium & swim day... and a hotel swim & date day. 95% of the hotel was clean as well, and my room had a tinge of bleach scent when we arrived so I was confident that my room was freshly cleaned. The Staff were endlessly friendly to me and my family during our entire stay. If we had any issues, they were quick tp fix them and ensure the hotel portion of our vacation was perfect. The pool was magical as well.

United States of AmericaNo stoplight to assist in getting in and out of the property because traffic was a nightmare. Hotel is a bit outdated and even though we constantly saw cleaning people, the hallways were dirty with food and other random things. Needed to be vacuumed. The water pressure in the showers was very low.
Location on the beach was great, within walking distance to Anglers & The Boardwalk. Hotel staff all very friendly. Restaurant on site and the pool was clean.
