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 jacuzzi was tiny! The pool was okay but also fairly small. The only real issue was how noisy it was- you could hear people coming and going all the time. I guess it was because of the way the condos were built with windows that opened, but it was really difficult in the morning as people were going out and you could hear every single sound.
The condo had everything we needed for a one week stay- the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc.

United StatesThree levels, no elevator. Shower water was cold everyday. When we inquired. We were told we were only the 3rd level and we should take showers early in the day. They only do cleaning if you stay 10 nights (we stayed 9) but they provided limited supplies for cleaning yourself and who wants to do that on your vacation.
Location was central to many activities in the area. Kitchen was helpful for us as we prepared many of our own meals. The grounds were well kept. Room was comfortable. Wifi was extremely helpful. Staff was friendly.

GermanyWe got the ground floor apartment basically the cellar. Insects (moths, mosquitos, other undefined insects) even made it through the fly screens that they have put on windows and the open spaces from the wooden house. We were 3 people in the apartment (for 4 persons) . There is one King size bed and 1 sofa bed. The mattress of the sofa bed was so uncomfortable that we ended up sleeping with 3 people in the king size bed. Luckily we were skinny enough. Cleaniness was OK, but the sofa bed was dusty even the mattress. Furniture in general is a bit outdated. There is no room service throughout the stay. If you want towels to be changed you have to request it at the reception. Considering the price of the apartment I would expect more things to be complimentary. Limited Shampoo, coffee, etc if you need more they charge you a fee.
Location was great, Appartment size was good. We ended up having a pleasant stay at Makai Beach Resort.

United StatesVentilation was not great. There were these strange vents with a screen that open to the outside so there was no sound barrier. The ac did nothing to dry the moisture in the air and didn't cool much, it took wet swimsuits days to dry.
Location was great, we wanted to stay in the north and this location was just east of the closed Hanelei bridge so we could get into Hanalei easily but weren't trapped there all the time. The place was clean and comfortable though a little rundown. Fine for the price.

United StatesOk so I didn’t expect the cottages to be as dated as it was. Definitely time for renovations. Coffee machine in kitchen needs to be updated as well. The room was sealed for cleanliness, however, the floors felt sticky and I found pubic hair in the bathroom. The outside patio was also very dirty, we had to wipe the table and chairs down ourselves.
Princeville itself is beautiful but overcrowded. However the location of Makai Resort didn’t feel congested and offered beautiful views of Hanalei mountains. We booked a 2 bedroom cottage and felt it was more than enough room for the 5 of us. Very spacious and a lot of windows with cool breeze circulating through the cottage. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was helpful from the start to checkout, mahalo to the local staff there.

United StatesIt’s located on the north shore so we had to do a lot of driving to get to our excursions but we got to see so much of the island this way!
I was pleasantly surprised with our stay here because the pictures online looked a little outdated. We got a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo & it was SO great! It was super spacious, clean & had all the amenities we wanted like a kitchen & washer/dryer unit. The staff here is amazing— so kind, friendly & helpful! The property also has a pool, beach chairs & umbrellas you can use for the duration of your stay, snorkel gear & boogie boards for rent, bikes for use & daily activities you can participate in if you want to! It is close to Queens bath which is a must see & Hanalea which is a cute little town! Overall, we had a great time & would absolutely stay here again!

United StatesPretty but too noisy. Sound carries across the valley. 10 PM quiet hour and staff will not do anything to reduce noise before then including screaming, and loud conversations from the pool or other patios. Staff said the beach was a five minute walk – it’s a 12 minute drive. Impossible to get rest here with the many roosters crowing from 4:30 AM until 7:30 AM constantly. Beds were uncomfortable and caused pain for both of us in separate rooms. One of them you could actually roll off of if you tried to sleep in the middle. Staff offered to change them out after we said we were leaving early. Too little too late
