Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

This is my favourite hotel in Miami. Compared to the bling high rise hotels around Miami beach, Betsy is an oasis of class, elegance and history. It feels like you've stepped back into the 50s. Tasteful comfortable rooms, friendly staff, fantastic location. The food - INCREDIBLE. Plus - the owner is Zimbabwean and runs HIV orphanages there - I'd stay in this hotel for that reason alone! I'll be back!

United KingdomRoom was not as swish (for the price) as I was expecting. Most of staff good and friendly but one of the bar staff I found ‘offish’ in his manner.
Quaint details around the hotel. Great rooftop pool. Dedicated area on the beach was great.

United States of AmericaIn the mornings around 10ish, we could hear housekeeping cleaning the room upstairs. Not sure if it’s due to the ceiling wall being thin.
The location was close to all the actions but removed from loud music/noises Staff and service were exceptional. Wanted to call out Fritzner at the front desk and Juan. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time! During our stay, the lobby had free snacks and wine for the guests.

GermanyHad an amazing stay at the beautiful and spacious hotel located directly at Ocean Drive. It front row and super central but still very quiet and a peaceful oase! It has everything you wish for to spend perfect holidays! 2 pools, one at the roof for amazing sunsets and one at the atrium if you want to spend some time without direct sun (we were traveling with a toddler), great live piano at the lobby, delicious restaurant, great coffee place, perfectly selected playlists for every corner of the hotel,… You can really see everything is chosen carefully with an eye on quality! You can find art all over the hotel and you really feel the creative and inspiring vibe! Beside all that it’s the amazing people working at that hotel that made our stay so special! Special thanks therefore to Juan, Fritz, Ewan, Monica, Chris and the whole team! We will definitely come back to this hotel the next time we are in Miami!

United KingdomPersonally as a European, the prices of alcohol and food in Miami Beach were extortionate for basically average food. It left a bad feeling, especially when you are paying 5 times the price for an average beer. The mandatory 20% service charge on everything was beyond the pale and the excuse of “well that’s Miami” isn’t good enough. I would suggest that the city is acting as a cabal with this kind of behaviour. I am in Tampa at this moment, so it’s not the same everywhere. In the long run this will put off tourists
The hotel is beautiful and set on the prestigious South Beach. The staff were attentive and very helpful. The Carlton Cafe was great but we never managed the main restaurant. The lobby bar was good too.
