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 ZealandThe bedroom was very stuffy and hot. It was an hour-long walk from town, so not super convenient. There were mosquitoes and some other bugs in my room.
I liked that the taxi was waiting for me at the airport to take me to my accommodation. I had a comfortable bed and a large wardrobe. Breakfast was very yummy. The shower room was nice. The owner was very helpful and helped arrange transportation.

United States- Communication before my arrival could have been better. I had requested help with a day tour, but the answer I received was that I could speak to my airport transfer driver about this when he picked me up. I requested the driver's contact information and was ignored. Fortunately, the driver's prices were reasonable and we had a good day. - It is about a 45 minute walk to downtown. This wasn't an issue for me, but it was a bit longer than expected. - Both showers were surprisingly awful as the rest of the facilities were good.
- Extremely kind staff who waited up very late to accommodate my flight - Excellent breakfast with eggs, fruit, coffee, etc. Coffee, tea, and water were available 24/7. - Clean room with working wi-fi. The lodge itself is very comfortable and clean.

New ZealandVery comfortable to stay. I know the reviews say a lot about the host Isi already, and tbh he went out of his way to make my stay comfortable. Friendly and welcoming. Thank you Isi. Breakfast was included in the price and I tell you, it was the best, fresh and the best of island tropical fruits. Beautiful place to stay and would recommend for families.

United KingdomWhile it didn't bother me personally (as I like walking), the town centre of Nuku'alofa is a bit far away and for some may be an issue. But in all honesty outside of a few cafes and shopping not a lot to do down there so it isn't that big of a deal, plus taxis are pretty cheap as well.
Great spot to spend some time in Nuku'alofa. I had to extend my stay by two nights as flights and ferries in Tonga are pretty unreliable but really glad I stayed here. Breakfast was nice and substantial, there was coffee available all the time, hot showers, very clean property, and my room felt pretty cool during the evening that I didn't need a fan on. Isi is also a great character that knows a lot about the local tourism and you can even rent his bike off of him (which I think is the best way to see Tongatapu). There's also a decent shop next door and a few take away options nearby. The house has a fully equipped kitchen as well.
