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 reviewRainbow Villas in Rarotonga is a hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and breathtaking views. The villas are spotlessly clean, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable stay. One of the standout features is the incredible ocean view, you can even spot whales from your balcony, a truly magical experience. The elevated position of the villa provides a unique vantage point, offering sweeping views and a tranquil atmosphere, a refreshing alternative to the typical beachfront properties. The grounds are beautifully maintained, teeming with native flora and fauna, creating a micro-ecosystem that feels like a private sanctuary. You’ll find yourself immersed in the beauty of Rarotonga’s natural landscape without even leaving the property. What truly sets Rainbow Villas apart is the attentive and proactive service from the owners. They go above and beyond to ensure your holiday is seamless, checking in regularly to make sure everything is perfect. Their genuine care makes you feel incredibly welcome and at ease.

Verified reviewVery tropical feeling and very nice facilities. Loved the pool as well that we all enjoyed as a family.
The gas bottle ran empty on our first night there so hot water was not available. The owners did sort it out first thing on the morning though, so not a big deal. Biggest issue for me was that the Aircon internal unit was dirty and full of green mould and algae. We were sick from day one for the whole trip. Not saying it was the aircon as we have a 2-year old that brings the plague from daycare but cleaned (scrubbed) it myself and you could feel an immediate change in the air quality. Small thing but should be looked at.
It was a pleasure hosting you and your beautiful family. Will check the Air Con filters more regularly from now on.Our mistake. Apologies for the inconvenience. Eric and Ira.

Verified reviewAmazing view, very friendly, responsive and non-intrusive hosts. Villa was very clean, comfortable and had everything we need even with a baby. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. A 10/10 stay for us and we were sad to leave!

Verified reviewFab views, lovely villa and pool.
Was difficult to find, from our rental car at the airport, no gps and villa was behind a gate, along a very long rd. We got the person looking after the villa to meet us in the end. Not a moan in any way but i think it would be helpful to have specific directions from airport, or have somebody meet you, to take to the villa, simply due to the gps working until you arrive at the villa. The gate at bottom of drive was very heavy, i wasnt able to open and close it myself.
We always recommend to use Maps me App because it works off line.It is also an easy and effective way to find our villas. Most of the time, we try to welcome our guests at the gate. The gate was sadly damaged by the previous guest. It has been taken care of and it does work perfectly fine now.
