Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

the house was equipped with everything we needed - thank you for the nice welcome presents which we enjoyed. The house was very clean and the service +communication was fast, very friendly and excellent. We had the best time in Hilo and around. The house was perfect to spend time together during breakfast or enjoying the garden or cooking dinners in the evening - it almost felt like home

We loved being able to cook our own meals, trips to Volcano park, the weather, BBQ local fish, closeness to town and swimming/snorkeling areas. The special touches such as condiments, honey, coffee, olive oil ect.

United StatesThe home was super comfortable, spotless and had many updates to make our stay great! It's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in providing guests a memorable experience. We liked the central location, as it was easy to get to restaurants, stores and sights in downtown and the surrounding areas. The driveway below street level wasn't a problem for us, as we had read about it in other reviews. Parking on street was easy too. We were just totally surprised how fresh, clean, new and homey the house felt, and we would have loved to have stayed longer! When back in Hilo, we'll definitely stay here.

United StatesDidn't realize that AC was only in each of the rooms! There was a fan in the living room + ceilings but didn't really help with the humidity. Pretty low water pressure in the shower -- changing the mode on the shower head helped but it was still quite weak!
The place was very well equipped and clean! Just as pictured. The beds and the sofas were comfortable. ACs in the room worked fine :)

AustraliaOur stay was perfect in every way. The location is great. It is a quick car ride to multiple shopping areas and the same to drive down to the water for a swim. The water is about a 20min walk if you are feeling like a leg stretch. Hilo centre is also only a few minutes by car (and another 10min walk from the beach). There are a few eateries within walking distance too. The house is spotless, lovely and welcoming. The owners have thought of everything you might need for your stay. It is equipped as if it is your home, from outdoor gear (beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels, esky/cooler etc) to a completely equipped kitchen with coffee machines and an impressive array of crockery etc. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are comfortable. There is also a washing machine and dryer if you need it. I can't think of anything that could have been added to this well appointed house. I can see why all the reviews are so positive. The owners are available to answer any questions and are very friendly and helpful. They also provide recommendations for local places to eat etc. Thanks so much for a perfect stay.

United StatesWish it had another bathroom. We are a party of six people and we had to strategically schedule use of bathroom.
We were pleasantly surprised upon walking inside. Everything is clean! The kitchen provided everything needed to cook our meals: sharp knives, wine screws, coffee maker with filters and raw sugar that we like and a Keurig, VITAMIX but we didn’t use. Bedding very clean and comfy. Lots of windows for great airflow. Separate AC in each bedroom. Kind of noisy but turn on early to cool the room, turn off when desired temp then use the ceiling fan overnight…perfect. Washer/dryer…perfect. Outdoor propane grill used for steaks…perfect. Large front and back yards. A tree in front yard with beautifully scented flowers. Location is great with just 5 minutes from airport. Close to Target, Safeway, Walmart. Recommend a visit to Pineapple restaurant and 2 Ladies Kitchen for awesome mochi.

United StatesOn-site parking is a very steep driveway, but there are street spots that are always open. The kitchen table and chairs were a little high and wobbly but it worked.
Nice and comfortable. Good extras like snorkeling equipment, beach towels and chairs, and a small outdoor grill. Kitchen had nice olive oil and salt and pepper which we appreciated.

United StatesThe floor was a little noisy and the "wild" life super noisy! However, someone may enjoy the "sweet dreams" singing of the frogs/night birds (not sure...) and the "good morning" alarm of the nearby rooster. You definitely do not need to set an alarm! For the rest, the owners provide earplugs. In conclusion, the noises were not annoying for myself but it is a fact that someone might find hard to deal with.
I appresiated the hospitality, the treats the owners have left, the beach equipment, and I really enjoyed the super comfortable beds and the extra spacy that place is.

MoroccoThere was no A/C, but as long as there is a breeze and open windows, plus lots of room fans, it wasn't an a big issue.
They did great with the little details, like a welcome note with a welcome basket and they made sure every room was stocked with towels and bathroom amenities. They were very quick and responsive to any inquires I had.
