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.).

United StatesNo view from Paradise room. Noisy work- blowing and construction during day. Room could not be shut up and just a doorknob turn lock. No dead bolt. Screens and thin sheer curtains on 2 full sides with no privacy. Perfect if you’re an exhibitionist First time someone hacked my laptop and charged some exploratory charges on the day I used it here. It’s not secure but never had that happen before. Had to cancel cc. Blowing threw all kinds of fumes into my room and I couldn’t close windows as only screens. Then cleaners were using pine sol to mop the front porch and the fumes were bad. I have a lung condition and came to HI for clean air! Just use vinegar!! Outside has just been painted and looks fantastic!
Great location across from snorkel beach, walkable to one restaurant and other beaches and one mile to grocery store and other restaurants. Nice room, clean and friendly helpful Staff. Snorkel gear and towels avail, outdoor table and grill

United StatesI do not have things I can complain about really. Parking is free and available, but might get messy if you have long cars (was not a problem for me though). A few ants here and there, but this is a facility right in front of a whole forest so it's perfectly fine as you are just a host of nature. I want to make it clear that these aspects won't prevent me from staying at this facility again, I would actually reserve it again.
The property is located 2mins walking distance to the beach, in an enclosed bay with sea turtles, fish and other animals. The host offers snorkeling masks, fins and shoes in case you didn't bring any. I also saw sunscreen and bug spray ther for you to use, as well as chairs and other beach miscellanea. The room was fairly large, right next to a bunch of trees with plenty of birds (lovely to wake up with birds singing right behind you). Somehow I managed to see a whale jumping around from the balcony of the room (amazing). Location is great as you can get anywhere on that side of the island in a few tens of minutes by car. I did not meet the host while staying, but also did not have any requests that required the presence of a host either.

United StatesNot so much didn’t like but took some adapting to. The ocean view room is very nice. You enter into a living room with a balcony then head upstairs to a queen (it really is) bedroom with a small dining table set and comfy chair plus walk-in closet. Then there is a nice kitchenette with sink that is also the only sink for the attached bathroom lacks one. Once we assigned the ends of the shelves that have dishes on them to where our toiletries went, all was well and organized. There is no cleaning during your stay which we didn’t need and I’m sure I could have gotten clean towels if I was around during the day but never was. I also didn’t use the contact phone since I knew the manager is presently on the mainland helping her aging parents.
Lovely locally owned property with ocean views and sounds to lull you to sleep. Very nice you g local couple around during the day and keeping the place very clean. There is a great gazebo that serves as a communal kitchen and dining area including a large fridge with assigned bins in it for each room. Since there are only microwaves in the rooms this provides a burner to cook on plus a bbq. There is a large table and chairs too. Nice place with plenty of parking with tight turn around to get out. Walk to the beach with snorkeling in 5 minutes tops. Great to watch the sunset.

It wasn’t a regular hotel and the porch made for a great place to just listen to the waves and relax.

AustraliaWe were in Surfer Room, which had separate yet private bathroom closeby. Only a slight inconvenience. It would have been nice to actually meet the owners....( helpful on phone when we had questions). Quite a drive from the airport and tours leaving the harbour ( fine if you have a vehicle).
Lovely oasis ! Comfortable room, with beautiful breeze. Everything really clean, with lovely linens and towels provided ( including beach towels). Outdoor kitchen facilities a bonus. Walking distance to pretty snorkelling spot. However, best to have a car to make the most of the island.

IndiaThe location is quite far from the central Kona coast, and the road leading up to the place from the main road is not that great. It was dark and partially paved, but the good thing is I could see many stars! Buses are unreliable on the big island. So Uber was my only option. No restaurants close by.
Cozy room, in a tranquil place. It feels like a homestay instead of a hotel. Very clean and feel-good, with beach and wave sounds to drift you off gently to sleep. It is great for solo trips and a perfect snorkeling spot right next to my stay!

We liked the place. It was quiet and clean. The room has all the necessary kitchen utensils and appliance. The common area and kitchen are very good to have, I saw people grill beef and cook. The location is great, in a walking distance to a popular beach which saved us daily parking fees. Lots of free parking which is great plus! Overall, our experience with the hotel is very good.
