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 AmericaLots of people came for the Tikibar and all the spots filled up. We left and had a hard time finding a spot to park even though we actually had a room there. A little dirty too, the bathroom wasn't cleaned very well, there was lots of hair and stuff in the shower. Room had a mildew smell
We loved the location and the laid back atmosphere. The AC worked like a champ! Shower was hot and good pressure. Fridge and microwave and sink are nice additions.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom was cramped and the shower worn in appearance. But great water pressure. Many beautiful beaches are near by car.
Great pool area. Loved the 50's vibe and appreciate preserving this authentic vintage property. Room was a little small but clean and comfortable. Perfect for short stay. Great value! The king bed was comfy and TV and A/C worked great. Very good morning coffee in lobby. The location is very convenient to all Sarasota amenities. The Ringling Museum campus and Asolo Theatre are few blocks away. A "do not miss" attraction! However, the beaches are not walking distance. Sunnyside Cafe, 2 blocks away, was exceptional.

United States of AmericaThe pool was not clean. A resort gives out towels for their pool. Not enough parking spaces.
Close to the airport and Ed Smith stadium. Not much else. I was tempted to change motels (NOT A RESORT as the name implies). Our window shook every time the AC came on. There was no place to hang wet towels or swim suits. The soap bars were the size of a silver dollar and so thin it didn't last Our stay. Our tiny, tiny room was close to the Tiki bar. Loud. Fun when you were in the bar. Drinks were extremely affordable and not watered down. Known for their Mai Tai.

CanadaFront reception was a little lacking however maybe was just a bad day.
The pool area and price are the real sellers to this location. Also, located perhaps 10 mins to the downtown of Sarasota. It is a dated property however very well maintained. The Tiki bar was a nice addition for a night cap and when we stayed there was a food truck there.
