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 reviewDon't waste your time looking elsewhere - Sunset Quay is the best place to stay in Rarotonga. Lara is an awesome host - so friendly, helpful and kind. The house is incredibly well equipped with everything you could possibly want. The layout of the property is great for a big family or group of friends travelling together, there's lots of space and different areas to have a bit of privacy. The location is excellent, around 15 minutes to the airport and the main part of Rarotonga. There's a handful of lovely cafes within walking distance - including Beluga which is the best coffee on the island. We stayed in two places on Rarotonga and wished we had just spent our whole time at Sunset Quay.
Nothing - everything was perfect

Verified reviewWe were a family of 5 adults and 3 children aged 4, 1.5 and 6mths. The villa had everything we could possibly need and plenty of space for us all. Running around after the 1.5 yr old so he didn’t fall in the pool kept us all on our toes. Lots of great places to eat nearby. We had a fantastic time. Lara and her crew were always available to deal with any queries.

Verified reviewThis is a perfect getaway spot for a group! Lara is the most amazing host and Summer (the resident princess dog) is just a wee gem! The home itself is very well appointed with absolutely everything you need! We had adult kids join us and it was just perfect! The pool is such a bonus and was well used on our stay! The huge yard, outdoor areas, seating and pool hut were fab, the private beach was the icing on the cake. We did quite a bit of cooking and the kitchen was super. The laundry has a huge washing machine and dryer but the clothes line is well situated for drying (even in the pouring rain). We will absolutely be back!
That we had to leave!
Awww thank you so much Bridget! We look forward to seeing your smiley face and your family back again someday. Thank you for caring for Summer 😁

Verified reviewWe loved that we were tucked away in our own place with everything to ourselves. My kids spent more time in the pool than they did out of it. It really did feel like we were in a home, and not an accommodation unit. Having Summer greet us at the front door every morning was an extra bonus.
I really can't fault anything. It was just perfect.
Thank you so much! And thank you for staying with us. No wonder she's been sitting down there on the mat since you left! She misses you guys! All the best in 2024 x
