How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewClean, relaxing, has all we needed for a great holiday. 10 mins to the airport, 25 mins to Muri. Close to Avarua. You can cook, do your laundry, excellent for a family. Has mosquito screens and water is safe to drink which are a bonus. Chickens and dogs making a noise in the morning or anytime of the day which is not for everyone I imagine but gives the Raro vibe. Beautiful modern lockwood home. Weber bbq on the deck. They said it can be hard to find so detailed instructions were given beforehand but wasn’t difficult to find at all. Overall excellent stay and would do it again.

Verified reviewThe house is large and spacious with nice modern kitchen fitout. Excellent outdoor decking furniture to take in the amazing sea views in the distance whilst having lunch and dinner. Large dinning table, large spacious bedrooms. The house was well supplied with the basics to live quite comfortably for the 6nights we stayed. Location was handy with the house being within 10mins drive nearby the city centre, airport and most of the beaches within 20mins ride. Would stay there again. Our 3& 5 year old girls loved the novelty of seeing and feeding the chickens that were nearby the property.

Verified reviewLocation was close to the Stadium that we were playing at and also away from the main road which made for less traffic and noise. Place was super clean and had everything we needed as a family whilst away from home.
Weather wasn't good for us but expected in the time that we travelled. No problems we had a great stay.

Verified reviewThe property is beautifully located within the mountains and even though it is perched above the airport some what we didn’t hear any of the planes at night. The view is stunning you can wake up with a hot drink staring at the ocean and wind down for the night with the same view while having dinner on the balcony. It’s so peaceful and quiet during the day, the local animals love a good chat (dog bark or rooster crows and sometimes the pigs chime in randomly) at points during the day and sometimes at night lol it’s nestled within nature and is absolutely stunning and the house itself is equipped with everything you could need and so clean and tidy.
Didn’t not like anything. It had everything we needed for this trip.

Verified reviewHome away from home,highly recommended, this property had everything we needed, including all cleaning essentials (bonus for me) both inside and outside was super clean, the layout of the home was perfect, beautiful views, everything was comfy, finding the house was easy although the roads going to the house is gravel material, i recommend you drive up in a car not a motorbike. Lastly the owner of the house is a great communicator too, very flexible and so is his sister who lives next door, very friendly and if you need anything shes there to help 😊 by the way if you get a chance to find one of the books located in the house thats a great read for their family history - i wont spoil it…happy finding 😁

Verified reviewThe accomodation was fantastic and everything we had hoped for. We would definitely recommend to others!
The only downside would probably be finding the house. Despite us arriving at 2am in the pitch dark, its actually quite difficult to find the house on the first few go’s. I think a sign should be added to the beginning of the road to help with directions. Besides that, we loved it.

Verified reviewThe property was new, clean, modern appliances. Our hosts were very helpful and nothing was a problem. Our hosts offered us a ride several times during our stay, as the house was located in a less frequented area. Lovely views and a great place to relax. Fruit basket on arrival :D Would love to stay again in the future.
Everything was excellent!!! We can only recommend accommodation :D
