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 StatesZero complaints or criticism. Only disappointment concerned the terms and conditions imposed by the adjacent (private) golf club on resort guest play. I felt that disallowing single players was a bit much.
Superb attention to detail and to client service.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at The Kahala. The resort grounds are absolutely beautiful - from the lobby to the veranda to the pool area, dolphin cove, and beach - and the staff service is just top-notch, among the best I've experienced. Certain staff members (Linda, Carolyn, Jamaica, Evangelina, Rudy, Leilani, and the whole valet crew!) made our stay that much more comfortable and special. We look forward to future family TLC time at The Kahala, shoots!

United StatesNothing! The Kahala does everything right. The only thing I didn't like was leaving.
The Kahala is a classic and cannot be beat! The location is close enough to the city if you want to go in it but just far enough outside of the city to make you feel like you are in a relaxing, tropical location. The rooms are more than adequate in size and amenities and ALL of the staff are super friendly and helpful.

The staff was so welcoming from the beginning till the end ( even before arrival with extremely responsive and helpful concierge, thank u Koji!). Felt like royalty! amazing private access to a perfect beach. Nice pools and equipment. we did a dolphin quest and stayed in a room with a view to dolphin lagoon- was such a unique experience for the kids (and adults). the restaurants on site were great. perfect experience.

United StatesNot too crazy about the pool but I guess people enjoy it. I can’t seat by a pool with an ocean like that in front of me :-)
This place is a gem. It’s traditional, it’s clean, it’s well managed, convenient location, feet on the beach, silent and secure, perfect for couples, for families with little children, beach was a piece of paradise in every way possible. Breakfast has everything you could possibly want and more, absolutely delicious variety, the staff serving are the kindest folks you’ll find in this country ( believe me) this people love what they do and do it with pride. Kahala Beach Hotel made a mark on me. We were here for a few days, in a business trip my husband needed to take and I came to accompany him. I picked the cheapest room that was offered through booking.com because we were not going to be in the hotel much.Still the room was fantastic, the mattress was very comfortable, percale cotton sheets, excellent towels, beautiful pillows. All this adds up to a gorgeous stay. At the end of the day my husband thanked me for picking up this place instead of other options in Waikiki for the quietness and privacy this hotel offers. We will be back with our family and friends Mahalo 🌺
