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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

If you are a lite sleeper do not take a sea wiev room because of the noise from the street.
Clean rooms, a little small; we wanted to change the room because of the street noise and we get another one in no time, very friendly staff, especially mr. Cory.

Unfortunately the living room and entrance are currently under construction. So the living room has reduced space and was always very crowded. Otherwise this would be a clear 10!
This is overall a great hotel: - very cozy, clean and modern room with an amazing view - friendly and helpful staff - great location, just 200m to Waikiki Beach - great breakfast buffet

Great breakfast with fresh fruit, comfortable bed. The amenity fee included beach towels and equipment and it was always fully stocked. Short walking distance to the beach, delicious poke bowls just across the street. Nice staff. Didn't hear much of the noise at night - maybe because I was staying in a room at a higher floor. Clean room.

The breakfast room does not have enough space but the breakfast itself is good.
Best location just next to the beach and loads of outdoor cafes and food trucks. Very friendly staff, the rooms are spacious. Appreciate the coffee and water always available downstairs. Providing beach towels, chairs etc is just great.

The room was smaller than expected. The mountain view was nice, but many buildings were blocking most of it.
The staff was nice from the front desk to the housekeepers. The location was good for me because I was a solo traveler and I didn't rent a car. So, literally, when you walked outside the hotel, there was a local eatery and other stores within eyesight.

Breakfast should start sooner, since people leave early for tours activities. Currently, breakfast is served from 7:00 to 9:30am.. would be nice to have it at 6am.
Hotel is well located, few blocks from the beach, markets and restaurants. Hotel offers for free beach towels, chairs, umbrella, coolers, mats. Also, they give you upon request box so you can pack fruits to take for the day. Water fountain and ice machine available, tea and coffee available every day.

To be honest, the breakfast coffee was terrible, but it is a minor factor. The standard room was ok size for a solo traveller, but for two it would have been tight. I would have liked to have an unfixed shower, this was fixed above the bathtube.
The location couldn’t be better to explore Waikiki area. Ten points for that. Otherwise the hotel was clean, staff was friendly and there was a possibility to borrow fitness and beach equipment which was very helpful. A small hotel feeling which I appreciated.
