We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandThe kittens tearing up the rubbish.
Loved the house and the most important thing was that the littlest kitchen utilities were available. Absolutely anything you need. Loved how the house was designed especially the kitchen and bathroom with the natural sunlight shining right through. The low ceiling to the verandah was great and most importantly the largest bedroom had both the doors opening right to the garden area.

New ZealandThat we couldn't stay longer
Accommodation was clean and tidy. Perfect for our family of 4 with lots of room as the bedrooms were very spacious. We were greeted by one of the owners who showed us how to open coconuts .Traditional food was bought over on a Sunday morning which was absolutely delicious. Lovely neighbours who check in, greeted you, took your rubbish out and brought us fresh mangos daily. Overall it was an excellent experience and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a private home.

New ZealandThere was nothing wrong that we come across. We just glad that not just us parents but also our kids gets to experience the island lifestyle and be thankful of what we have back home. We glad we took this trip together as a family’s.
Good easy to get to from home. Good to taste different chefs and their way of cooking styles. The local chefs are well trained and good at what they do and always put smiles of their customers. Good experience..

New ZealandThe property had absolutely everything you could need. It is spacious but homely at the same time with outside areas to enjoy meals as well as a dining table inside. Really comfortable big beds and a modern bathroom. There’s also a washing machine and bbq. The property has internet throughout and a large TV. It’s in a very private setting and a stones throw from Aroa beach and some of the islands best eateries. Petua and Louis were so so friendly and helpful and went a step above the rest bringing us an incredible breakfast every Sunday. They bought us delicious fresh fruit from their garden, freshly baked donuts and sushi style fish, a real rarotongan treat! We will for certain be returning to this piece of paradise at evangelines home.

New ZealandDidn't like that we had to leave 😕
Beautiful, clean large family home, well equipped with all living amenities. No pool but who cares, youre surrounded by plenty of beautiful beaches. Good sized washing machine for all the swimming trips, along with outdoor shower after coming home sandy 😊 outdoor bbq seating area but not limited to breakfast on the front balcony. Location is great, tucked away in a private quiet residential area with plenty of local fruit trees and plants to explore. Our hosts were super loving. Easy to deal with and also dropped by with a surprise breakfast one morning 😊 Definatly a great place to stay compared to a small confined hotel room. We will definitely be back and have already recommended this home to many locals and upcoming holiday makers.
