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 StatesThe poolside service was not good. The shower curtain was dingy and dirty. The tub looked dirty. The grout between the tiles was gross and full of soap scum. The bathroom faucet and counters were dirty. The border of the mirrors were dirty. The toilet paper is cheap. The toilet paper holders were in far away or awkward places. The balcony view sucked. The balcony furniture was hard and not attractive. The room was missing the small bench to put a suit case on. We had to ask for coffee twice. The bed was very hard and hurt my back. The bathroom doors are terrible the bathroom doors do not close all the way so there is a lack of privacy. The mirror is hidden behind the bathroom door. There is no ventilation in the bathroom. The hand soap did not feel like it was cleaning. It felt like it just stuck on my hands. I used the shampoo to wash my hands.
I liked the breakfast. I liked the pool. I liked the lobby and common areas of the hotel. The history and museum vibe was nice. The shops at the hotel were nice too. Elevators were fast. The bell hops were good. The lady managing the restaurant was great. The pool towel service was good. The parking lot was good and the parking card was convenient. The air conditioning was good.

HungaryThe area is a little bit noisy, due to the port, some evening the locals make a street party with very loud music until late night. The rising number of homeless people in the tourist areas is worrying here also.
One of the best beach hotel in Big Island in the heart of Kona. The beach is small but clean and is connected to the hotel, almost unique experience in the USA. There is a 1 mile long beach walk with lot of good restaurants. The excellent submarine trip goes directly from the hotel.

United StatesThe beach and pool are tiny - if you have a gluten intolerance don’t expect to eat at the restaurant or beach bar. You have to find a spot somewhere in the town. They don’t clean your room every day for the high price requested.
The view on the beach is nice, the location in the little town is good

United StatesPerhaps I was unrealistic going in about what $800/night would buy. I thought maybe a 3rd or 4th floor with at least partial view of the sea. Instead it bought a small 2nd floor room above the asphalt roof of the kitchen and a view of the parking lot. “Hey, there’s our rental car!” And I assume the additional $22/night amenities fee was for the dumpy crowded pool. At least the bed was comfortable so there’s that.
At least it was close to action in Kona

United StatesI am sorry to say there were issues. The shower glass and interior was dirty. The bathroom door isn't a door it's two small sliders that don't shut, so there is no real privacy. Housekeeping brought towels Monday but didn't clean. The only day they cleaned the room was Wed and we stayed 6 nights. We paid extra for an ocean view but couldn't sleep until after 3 AM because of all the street noise emanating from the bar down the street (which isn'tthe hotel's fault but should have been disclosed). And construction on the roof below our room started at 6 am. It would have been nice to know about the noise before we booked.
The hotel has always been a family favorite for its location. It's right on a lovely bay that is great for all ages. The pool and bar area are great places to hang out and order lunch and drinks. The beds are comfortable. The staff was very friendly, with one exception.

United StatesBathroom doors did not close completely-one inch gap between doors when they were closed. Only one towel hook so it was hard to hang up 3 or 4 towels for re-use. Also no hooks or towels bars on the balcony to hang up towels or swimsuits to dry so we had to lay them in the chairs and table in the balcony.
Locations was great. Elena (housekeeping), Vina (cabana attendant) and Dale (massage) were friendly and provided excellent customer service.

United StatesOur room had some cleanliness issues (dried oatmeal on the wall! carpet stains), and there are some weird design problems like the shower being too short for adults, you can see in the sliding bathroom door (and hear everything), there were almost never pool towels available when we wanted them, the parking fee, the front desk never answered the phone, the pool is small and poorly lit in the evening, the bar closed at 10…so many things. Disappointing for the price. You’re only paying for a location.
The location was good, right near the pier and shops we could walk to.
