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 StatesOnly option for parking is Valet, which is a little pricey in my opinion, specially if you are not using the car a ton ($49/night), plus they charge it at the beginning of the stay, so you can’t have a change of plans. BUT street parking is not easy, so you will most definitely want to either only rent a car the day you truly need it or just pay for valet.
Not the biggest hotel but great if you just want a place to sleep! It’s half a block away from the beach, with plenty of options for food and shopping (hotel doesn’t have pool or restaurant/breakfast). Staff is amazing: super kind and friendly! The hotel provides beach towels, floaties, snorkel gear and beach chairs for free, which is great!

United StatesThe building itself showed wear and tear and some installed furnishings of the room were not well installed. The bathroom specifically had shaky towel rods and toilet paper dispensers. The showerhead and faucet handles could have been better for more accurate temperature control.
Extremely great location just a block away from very nice beaches. Just around the corner from great shopping, food, bars, and activities. Friendly staff offered daily rentals of beach chairs, towels, and snorkeling gear.

United StatesIt didn't really have much amenities as I would like. No microwave only coffee machine and fridge in room. They only have a small parking lot to vallet which they charge $49 per night, there are other parking garages that they recommend which is a block down the road. There was also a homeless man sleeping outside on the street of the hotel so just be prepared for that.
Location is right near the beach and across from an ABC mart. Very convenient for those who enjoy walking around shops and restaurants. Takes about 15 mins to get to the main shops of the Royal Hawaiian. It was a small hotel so we didn't have to wait long for elevators. The staff were all nice and helpful and our room was cleaned everyday with towels replaced.

CanadaNothing, all was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are a little on the small side but you are paying for location. The location is excellent and right next to Waikiki beach. The beds could be a little larger but they're a good fit for the room.
We had an excellent week long stay at Hotel Renew. We had a party of 4, and were in 2 rooms with partial sea view and balconies. For the location right next to Waikiki beach, this hotel is a gem. The staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. They were great at providing us with what we needed for the day such as beach chairs, towels, extra coffee, travel advice and bus schedules. The lobby is well decorated and feels very relaxing as soon as you walk in. The rooms may feel a bit on the small side to some, but you are paying for location. They are clean and modern, with a great shower and bathroom. Lots of places to unpack and hide suitcases away. We got ourselves organized on day one to clear the floor and put clothes away into the warddrobe and it felt great, once tidy, for the rest of the stay. Beautiful views of the sunset dropping over the ocean horizon from the balconies that face north. I would definitely recommend staying here, and we will stay here again for our next visit to Honolulu.

United StatesI would have liked having a room that looked out over the beach,since this was my first trip to Oahu, instead of the other buildings and seeing workers. Also, the parking elevation is awful. Hard to get car without it scraping bottom.
The location was great, in reference to access to beach. The room was spacious and all the amenities made it comfortable.
