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 StatesAndy was a very nice and responsive host! We were in Hawaii to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and asked if there was anything special that could help make our trip more memorable, and we were surprised to see beautiful flowers and chocolates on the table when we arrived! The place itself was very clean and had all the basic necessities. I don't think there was AC but it wasn't very hot and there was a fan. We also got lost finding the place late at night, but Andy picked up the phone and helped us! He suggested cool local spots to checkout as well. The outdoor dining was great when we got takeout for dinner one night. Since we were in Hawaii for almost 1 week, it was very nice to be able to use the laundry room as the other places we stayed in did not have that amenity. I would highly recommend staying here, we had a wonderful experience!

The communication with the property manager was excellent!!! Only a short walk to Makuu Point to relax and enjoy the beautiful area.

United StatesThis place was excellent for us. But be aware that the place is meant for a very peaceful vacation - there are no bars or restaurants very close (Pahoa is ~15 min drive and Hilo is ~ 25 min drive), and the place is located in a quiet neighborhood .
Very clean and well maintained room, good quality facilities. Having free parking, free laundry, coffee machine, minibar and microwave was a plus for us. walking distance to Pacific Ocean - amazing views of big waves breakers, great place to see sunrise. Loved having our morning coffee and Hawaiian cookies in the balcony. Very conveniently located if you are visiting the volcanoes national park.

United StatesOcean Breeze is a very cozy, efficient, modern and clean accommodation. The host, Andy, is very kind, responsive and maintains the property very well. It is a great place for a small group and close to the ocean. Laundry facilities are available for those that like to pack light. A quiet and nice neighborhood to go for walks.

United StatesIt seems Andy is still developing the property ( a gazebo is being built) and it's only going to get better! A few suggestions to make it cozier: more wine glasses! We only had 2 and we were four people. We could have used sandwich and storage bags for the lunches and snacks we took with us. We got creative! A few guide books for planning excursions would be helpful. Also an info/instruction sheet for guests would be nice. While we could text him, info such as where to find items, closest grocery store and restaurants, what to do on leaving in the apartment is useful. These are minor items but will put the Ocean Breeze Inn on par with other rentals.
Ocean Breeze Inn was a lovely spot to explore the Hilo side of the Big Island. We had two bedrooms and the kitchen for our stay. The rooms were very clean and well stocked. We appreciated the use of the laundry room as well as the cooler and beach chairs found there. Andy, the owner, is right next door and very responsive. I reached out for beach towels and he was there in minutes. He communicated quickly and greeted us with info on the neighborhood and his favorite spots. Don't miss taking a walk at Makuu point. It's worth getting up for sunrise! The unit does not have AC but the trade winds and floor fans kept us cool. It's a bit of a drive back to the main road and town so I suggest you get groceries on your way to the Inn. But being at the end of the road makes it peaceful. Everyone we met was quite friendly - who wouldn't be in such a beautiful spot!

United StatesThere was nothing that we did not like.
I wish I could give Ocean Breeze Inn an eleven! The location of this facility was three houses from the ocean and we could see it from our balcony. The communications from Andy was exceptional and the use of a washer and dryer with soap on site was a huge plus! The utility room where the washer was located also had plenty of trash bags, coolers, snorkeling equipment, and beach chairs that we could borrow. The cleanliness of our room was also exceptional.
