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 ZealandKitchen utilities are in poor condition. The water in the shower is scorching hot, by turning on cold water the shower head loses all pressure.
Great location. Just a few meters away from a convenient store, a big food court, many bars and restaurants. Clean garden and beach premises. Free paddle boards and kayaks are awesome. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

United StatesThe provide breakfast was the biggest disappointment - store loaf bread with minimal butter and jelly an adequate juice. Their bikes are in poor condition - essentially fixed gear. They could also use more 2-person kayaks. All that said, we are glad that this place was our choice of accommodation.
Arguably the best accommodations in Rarotonga. It is just maybe 100km down the beach from the highest priced accommodation on the island but far less crowded and with better beach access. The beach seems to go on forever. After our wanderings about the island, there is no place I would rather stay. Our bungalows was essentially right on the beachside with all of the amenities included ( bikes, kayaks, standup paddle boards, breakfast, washing machine, fully equipped bungalow). The staff is incredibly helpful. The hotel is next door to the Muir Night Market and a convenience store is closely.

New ZealandHard to fault
Property is located right on the beach in one of the most scenic parts of the Island. All amenities were up to expectations and the hosts were very accommodating. When our flight was delayed 7 hours they allowed us to stay in our rooms at no additional cost.

AustraliaThe air conditioner was high up in the bedroom and the cool air barely made it into the living areas. Perhaps a vent above the bedroom door would help. The bathroom door was broken so couldn’t close it from the outside.
Whilst there was no bar or restaurant onsite there were cafes, restaurants, a supermarket, night market and bars close by and the unit had a well set up kitchen. It had a relaxed vibe, EXCELLENT location for snorkelling in the lagoon with turtles and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The deck overlooking the water was awesome!

New ZealandThere wasn't anything we didn't like. We would definitely Re book. Reef safe sunblock is best, we didn't have any. Maybe something they could offer at reception? Also our sunblock made the pool a bit milky (sorry pool maintenance) so maybe Reef safe sunblock might help with that too.
Loved the use of stand up paddle board, kayak, snorkeling gear and reef shoes. The continental breakfast was perfect. You really couldn't have asked for anything more... yummy cereal, toast and selection of spreads, plus fresh fruit available at reception to help yourself. Loved the daily message board for things to do and weather and other info. Easy access to the pool and Lagoon. Even though we had checked out there was still a homely area we could hang out until our transport came for airport. Excellent clean pool also.
