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.).

New ZealandLow shower pressure; villas are a bit dated and furniture is old and not as new as the suites but otherwise it provides a home away home which suited us. Few Restaurant chairs broke around us as others sat down or moved them. Pool is a bit small for such a large and busy resort and could do with a clean. Would suggest eating elsewhere as food is average.
Location is great! Close to airport, town and south side; friendliest Cleaning staff who kept our villa clean and refreshed frequently - Meitaki Maata for your care and friendly chats. Very beautiful beach and marina. Booked Garden Villa for 8 days which has everything you need - full kitchen, filter water, washing machine, great sized bedrooms. Great beach towel and reef shoe service. Loved the Spa Store and resort pets (dogs and chickens roam freely and are very tame which the kids enjoyed).

New ZealandAccommodation and facilities and staff were fantastic. If anything is the courtesy of other guest, you can't control what they do and how they behave.
There were 10 of us travelling and we only stayed for one night as we transitioned to a holiday home. And overall experience was fantastic. Beds were super comfy and loads of space for all three rooms we had booked. clean, cool and comfy. We also booked for the island night and had breakfast and all was just right for us, we really enjoyed our stay. But the real stars was staff, everyone was super friendly and made you feel welcome.

New Zealand- lack of parking - some restaurant staff were too grumpy - lack of info regarding things to do in the local area - would’ve been great to know info such as when the markets are open and where, what activities are available both in and out of the resort, and would have been a bonus to have a list of other car rental places in the area - so one has more than just the in-house car rental company (which never seemed to have vehicles available) to choose from - lack of some room amenities - would have been nice if rooms had a microwave - would be good if rooms also had a ‘clothes horse’ - to dry clothes in your room as paying for a drier is expensive if you’ve only got a little bit of clothing to dry
- close to the water - the ambience - awesome friendly reception and property staff ie:- grounds people/room attendants - most of the restaurant waitress/waiter staff were lovely - very yummy food - excellent onsite day spa

New ZealandKids club but they address the issue of letting my child go and no one was in our room therefore found her distressed out side the room the manager dealt with this and the staff responsible. The fact that when I made the booking for the AB table it was not done or the staff were not fazed by this it annoyed me! The snorkeling gear was faulty or there was not enough of it there was a slim chance of getting workable gear, next time we will bring our own. Some of the activities at the activities hut did not go ahead orientation, market day - the staff member seemed really uninterested Keano?
Kids club stuffed up but addressed our problem straight away. Breakfast was fab although I made a booking of the AB table two mornings in a row as the first morning I booked it someone was sitting there and the same the second morning the other mornings I just got up earlier to secure the spot - that annoyed me a little. Dinner menu unfortunately I have a really fussy child and there was nothing suitable on the dinner menu for her - plain is what some 8 year old kids like. Room was adequate for what we needed.
