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.).

We had the room (nr 3) right next to the bathroom, which shares a door (that is locked), however you can still hear the noise from the bathroom. Since we were the only ones it didn‘t bother us, but if there‘s other people, this is not so nice. Plus the bathroom door squeaks super loud (maybe this can be fixed)
Big house with large kitchen and beautiful view. Offers free parking. We were the only ones in the house, no other guests, which was very nice.

It was more like staying at a home than a noisy resort, less people, less traffic, nice neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again.

The home is very cold, we were given one half blanket for the bed in a very chilly home. The security cameras make you feel as if you're being watched.
Place was very clean, the house (guests and hosts) were very quiet and accommodating.

The guidelines / agreements for the kitchen and food in the fridge were not really clear. Unfortunately, my food went into the trash....
The property was very clean and spacious. If you have a rental car, the location was perfect to visit all the spots on the Hilo side of the island. Finally the value for money ratio was very good!

The only real drawback was that the road noise was loud at night.
The facilities were excellent. The manager, Sarge, was both very helpful and a very bright and interesting guy. The place was clean and well appointed. The other guests were friendly and interesting. The bed was comfortable. The room and bathroom were bright and welcoming. The kitchen was very usable.

Wish other guests weren't able to access our deck, and we were wanting another blanket for the bed.

- • Queen Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
The kitchen wasn't super stocked up so if you wanted a longer term or wanted to cook every day, you might need to buy some additional stuff to suit your needs. Towels were a little small but we made due. Again, none of this impacted our stay because we got exactly what we needed.
This rental was for a private room inside basically a mansion with many private rooms. Each room had their own code and we shared the bathroom that was in the house. This was exactly what my husband and I needed for our stay in Hilo because we knew we were going to be out driving to different places every day. We only stayed in the room to sleep at night and we left early and came back late every day so not much was needed at the house. Free parking was a huge bonus and parking was never a problem. If this is the type of place you are looking for, this is perfect and at a great value!

The fridge is disgusting, old and just awful. Dear owner, please change it!
We booked the „Suite“ with the private bathroom. Room was super sweet, comfortable and very clean. Bathroom was amazing! The kitchen and living room can be used by everyone, so you could cook yourself some nice food. Nice house, smooth and easy Check in and out process. Very good value! we would always come back!
