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.).

GermanyThe poolside room we booked had paper thin walls and was very noisy. I recommend not to book these rooms. Bathrooms / tubs would need an upgrade.
Nice staff, clean, nice renewed lobby and generally area. Pool area and landscape is very nice, too. Good, new laundry.Rooms are ok. We got an upgrade due to very noisy room neighbors. That room was bigger, also the bathroom and had a balcony.

United StatesThe room was small and no dresser. Not enough outlets and the one in the bathroom only worked with the light on which also lit the one in the bedroom making it difficult to use at night.
The koi pond was nice and lobby lovely and spacious. The staff allowed me to take a private hula lesson there and everyone loved it. It was nice to have a refrigerator in the room. Although right next to the airport it was quiet after 10:00. My granddaughter loved the pool and it was nice to have a washer and dryer available

United StatesThe doors were not super solid, so as we were poolside we did hear quite a bit of noise when people were swimming late. Fortunately, most nights people were done before 10pm so not a major impact for us.
The simplicity of the hotel, the basics like free coffee, tea and water 24/7. We loved hanging out on the lanai and the short walk to the Liliʻuokalani Gardens was great. The staff was always helpful, and we enjoyed the live music and events they offered.

GermanyThe hotel is located right next to the airport, so you can hear quite clearly the aircraft noise which is - at times - excessive. Thankfully, though, Hilo airport is rather small so there are not so many planes per day. There were some bugs in our bathroom which managed to get in through the broken window. The bathroom was relatively small and I didn't find the mattress or pillows (flat) to be very comfortable (but personal taste).
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean. There was ample parking. I really appreciated the free water, coffee, tea and other amenities. The rooms were very big and the a/c worked well. I appreciate the social responsibility aspect and approach to providing accommodation!
