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 ZealandThe bed is very old, stained and hard. We had to use the sun lounger squabs as a topper mattress. Only cleaned once in our 2 week stay and no cleaning products provided, apart from dish liquid and toilet cleaner.
Loved being right on the beach. Very spacious, we used the blue Ray and dvd’s provided. Kitchen was well implemented.

New ZealandA bit hard to find road sign and entry point in middle of the night. TV did not get local channel as far as we could see. But found other ways to fill time rather than TV A bit of uncertainty re whether full payment had been received prior. Lack of communication from Booking.com and hosts.
Location was very nice. Outdoor verandah, sunbeds, kayak, full facilities etc

New ZealandThis is one of three villas, quite close together which is maybe not as clear in the marketing of the property. This could have been me not reading the smaller print.
Beautiful views from the villas which are set back off the road. Excellent facilities, which were clean and comfortable. Easy check in and great communication from the property. We absolutely loved our stay, great value for money, especially if you are renting a car.

New ZealandMy wife found the bed a bit firm, and it rocked each time I rolled over. Need more regular towel replacement. Microwave stopped working. Only 2 burner stove top and no oven, made making meals challenging.
Location on beach front was great. Fabulous view from the verandah. Even saw whales playing beyond the reef. Entertained by all the people going to swim with the turtles. Spacious villa.

United StatesIt’s NOT a NO SMOKING property, although there is a “no smoking in the villa “rule, and the villas are close enough together so if you neighbors smoke outside the smoke drifts and is shared. Only negative of this property.
The location is next to the turtle tour business. The water current here can be dangerous without proper support but a short walk up the beach leads to lovely snorkeling areas. There are 3 cabins on the property and neighbors close, but with considerate other visitors it’s very peaceful and almost remote. Morning tea on the porch overlooking the water is amazing. It’s Walking distance (maybe 1/3 mile) to Wigmores and other restaurants and services. (Take a flashlight because it’s very dark at night!) Great laundry facilities and sparse but good kitchen. All, including the bathroom, are modern and clean. It’s my 7th trip to Rarotonga and it’s my 2nd favorite place to stay. (Loved my 2 week stay Feb 2025)

New ZealandThe bed squeaks every time you turn over, needs to be fixed with more than stuffing the joints with paper. Needs an extra throw or blanket for sitting outside on a cool evening.
Good location, great to have a small grassy area. Good selection of kitchen utensils, was clean and the cleaners were great. Liked the hammock, loungers and outdoor shower.

AustraliaThe check-in could have been more welcoming. Printed information was outdated ie extra charges if anything was broken or missing. We ended up taking photos and sending text messages as several items on the Inventory weren't in the Villa. Had no problem with refund of deposit however was unnecessary rigmarole. Other things: we were there in July so not too hot but may be uncomfortable without air-con in summer; no internet or free to air TV, it's a WiFi hot spot but you need your own data (we had a Cook Island SIM so no problem).
The location for swimming/snorkelling was excellent. You could swim with the turtles right at the front door. Need to keep away from Tour Operators but this was easily done. Best at low tide or incoming tide for snorkelling. It was safe to swim and snorkel. Some snorkelling gear at the Villa but we had our own. Left a pool noodle - great to float and snorkel. Other things we liked: washing machine (with washing powder provided); lovely deck with great view; good sized bathroom with spotless shower; overall very clean; a range of TV shows and movies were provided.

New ZealandCommunication with this accomodation could be better. No direct email address given and none of the provided local phone numbers worked. It was a bit unnerving needing to prepay by bank transfer but not have a direct line of communication with the property manager. The information in the villas about items included needs to be updated (some items were missing) and there was no information about how to operate the hard drive connected to the tv. We couldn’t get it to display any of the movies in full screen. And while we were not in Rarotonga to watch tv, as we had 7 days of wind and overcast or raining weather, there were times when we did want to relax indoors and watch a movie.
These are lovely villas in a great spot. Close to Wigmores and two great restaurants (Vaima and The Yellow Hibiscus) and ocean views. The milk, juice and fruit supplied on day 1 was a nice touch. Quiet and fairly private.
