How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The coffee shop (Imu?) is for vegans only. Since I like milk or creamer in my coffee, that doesn't work for me. so after one visit, I knew I should get my coffee elsewhere.
I was pleased that a handicapped room was available for me. I am a senior with bad knees and I was worried that hauling my suitcases up the steep stairs would be difficult. However, Anna at reception found a first floor room for me which was perfect. The location of the hotel is perfect-- a short walk to the Coconut Marketplace's shops and restaurants and a short drive to Safeway for groceries.

I do respect roomservice cleaning to be not every day. But then doing room service the 4the day of your 5 night stay is a little out of line. Luckily we could get fresh towels from the front desk

The location at Kapaa is good, you can explore the Island towards North as well as South from here. The Hotel garden is exceptionally beautiful, it makes it very nice to stay at the property. Property is right at the beach. Parking is free and easy, large parking lot at the hotel. Coconut Marketplace is right next door, you can buy almost everything that you need there. There are also little restaurants there.

The rooms were okay, a bit dated and we never received maid service at all, but we were overall happy with the value.
Amazing location for right on the beach and central to Kauai. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and a very nice pool and hot tub with a poolside bar to relax at.

At first we were given a room that was not "partial ocean view" as requested. The room smelled musty, too. We were able to change to a room we'd been anticipating. We had to request extra pillows-- the ones we had were very flat. This did not keep us from having a wonderful stay!
I really loved the location of the property. It was perfect for long morning walks, quick trips to the Coconut Marketplace, easy access for tour pick-up, and the grounds are beautiful. I appreciated getting to know more about the local flora and fauna.

Beaches aren’t really swimmable along here. But nice to sit on the loungers, soak in the view and the sun. Others have noted the pool is cold. They’re wusses. It’s cool and refreshing when the sun warms you up.
Very good value. Clean. Better than I was expecting based on some reviews. Convenient location. Security on site which seems to help with the sometimes rowdy elements others have noted. I didn’t hear anything along those lines during my 2 days and nights. Staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful. I think you do better if you book with Aston rather than an owner of a unit.

The parking is not up to Code (we checked for Kauai county). Parking spaces are so tiny that is very difficult to get in the car. While we were staying at the hotel someone scratched our rented car, we think, unintentionally, because of how small parking spaces are. We reported the incident to management, but besides telling us to call the police, they did not provide any help.
Location. Is right in front of the beach and you can see the sunrise. There are stores and restaurants nearby.
