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.).

New ZealandI love everything. The driveway was scary at first haha but we got used to it. We did not get to see the waterfall down the driveway, we were scared to walk up the driveway haha but really, we were so unfit, we might have a heart attack walking up haha. I will come back one day and run up the driveway haha.
The staffs were friendly and helpful. Malama helped us organise a tour around the island. The meals were fantastic esp the umu on sundays. Malama let us watched the boys making the umu. The boys allowed us to help them out and tasted some of the local foods while preparing. The view from our room and dining was amazing. It is a million dollar view. The location was nice, quite and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.

New ZealandThe sheets/bedding may be needing replacing soon. It was definitely clean, but heading towards being threadbare.
Low key and relaxed atmosphere. This is a simple accomodation, it doesn’t do frills. The view is beautiful and the staff are so welcoming.

PolandObject run by very nice and helpful personnel, located in the perfect place- in the middle of rain forest. The main reason of my travel was to observe Samoa's birds- I'm sure you can't find any better place for this kind of activity on this island. There is a free shuttle running to Apia and back every day, excluding Sundays.

United KingdomEquipment in the small kitchen area could be improved. Maybe provide sharp knife, scissors, bigger fridge.
Amazing views from the mountains to the ocean but also pool, waterfall and swimming hole all surrounded by beautiful gardens. Staff are friendly and courteous with a special shout out for Lolita who went out of her way to help when I had an issue with the hire car. Rooms are clean and well equipped and the food in the restaurant is great. The free courtesy bus into Apia ensures you can get out and about without paying for expensive taxis. Would recommend for single travellers and those on a budget.

New ZealandBRING LOTS OF TROPICAL INSECT REPELLANT. There was nothing wrong with the property itself, being surrounded by dense bush and water attracts a lot of insects. But with plenty of insect repellant, it was definitely manageable.
The breakfast was absolute value for money, everything was organically grown onsite. Service was exceptional. The location was amazing with beautiful views, and onsite waterfalls & pools with guest access. Was not a problem getting to the main city center and back at all. Lolita and the team were super helpful with helping us get a rental car organised or anything else we needed. Their Sunday UMU Bake and Oka is a must!

United KingdomMight be better off getting your own rental car, should you wish to have full flexibility in exploring Apia/Samoa, without sticking to the shuttle schedule.
Amazing staff, helped us get around Apia and from the airport. Very adjustable to our needs and incredibly friendly. Beautiful surroundings in the hills, with a beautiful view of Apia and the ocean.
