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):
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 ZealandThere is nothing not to like.
The location was outstanding. Right on the beach. Gorgeous view from the bed. Also right next to the night market and bus stop outside. We loved having the kayaks and paddleboard available for free. There were also bikes, although we didn’t get to use them as we didn’t stay long enough.

It was just perfect, great location, on the beach, quiet, clean, comfortable bed, ceiling fan and air conditioning. Balcony with table, chairs, sun loungers and clothes airer. Fully equipped kitchen and fridge freezer. Lovely bowl of fresh fruit, water and few provisions in fridge greatly appreciated. Spacious bathroom with large walk-in shower (interesting stone floor in shower) lots of hot water, towels and a selection of toiletries. Seating area in large bedroom with coffee table and small wardrobe, there is a tv but could only find 1 channel but villa has excellent starlink WiFi connection. With the night market behind, Rarotonga sailing club next door and supermarket on the corner there is no need to go far. Bus stop at the end of the driveway to get around the island, Saturday market in the main town is a must. Lagoon with snorkelling is just a few steps away and lagoon boat trip tours are available on the beach. Beach towels provided. Servicing, linen and towel changes can be arranged when there but not done daily. Taxi airport transfers arranged NZ$25 pp each way.

AustraliaWe arrived on an early flight and were so very lucky able to check in prior to 2pm. What an amazing location and such special touches in room , fresh flowers and a welcome sign with my name on it . The air conditioning was perfect and all amenities so well thought of. We tried to extend our stay and forgo some other accommodation we had booked but unfortunately it was fully booked. We will definitely be back to stay longer.

United StatesOnly thing that could be better would be in the bathroom. The lighting is dim.
This was a beautiful bungalow right on Muri Lagoon but seemed very private. The villa was separated from passers by with a nice hedge and vegetation that did not block your view. Nice lounge chairs on both the deck and the beach, along with a dining table. Very clean with a nice kitchen and large refrigerator and welcome fruit basket. Bathroom was large and modern with a beautiful shower. Great WIFI. Eugene stopped by during his work day to check on us and promptly answered his phone when I called. Great Cook Island hospitality! Try the food across the street at Takatimu's Tapas & Takeaways. It is incredible!
