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 reviewI had an incredible stay at EHA Accommodation — a true hidden gem nestled among surrounding tropical plants that create private atmosphere. The location is perfect, just a short drive to the luxurious Taumeasina Resort, and behind the property, there’s a lovely private beach where I enjoyed refreshing morning dips with stunning views. The convenience of being close to great dining options like Matautu and other restaurants in Apia made my stay even more enjoyable. Plus, having a supermarket right next door was a huge plus, making it easy to pick up essentials whenever needed. The accommodation itself was cozy, and well-maintained, providing for seeking a quiet, picturesque spot with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Truly an idealy place to stay!

Verified reviewI wish there was a restaurant but there supermarket next door. We enjoyed our short stay. Property is in prime location and very close to the Apia town which we found very handy. Clean and tidy self contained unit, basic amenities but had what we needed for our short stay. People were the highlight, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Verified reviewHad it not rained it might’ve felt better. There were some inconsistencies which made it not all bad. The staff were pleasant, the towels were fresh and clean and seemed new, the water was hot, the second day we got the wifi which was great, they did a bag of laundry for us for at a reasonable price. Air con worked well.
It’s close to a main rd so lots of traffic noise, for what we paid I expected more; could’ve been much cleaner in the property and in their neighbouring property is pretty untidy and dirty. I felt like they did the best with the resources they had and were friendly but I definitely wouldn’t stay there again.

Verified review"I recently stayed at EHA accommodation, and I had a fantastic experience! The location is incredibly convenient, being close to town, which made it easy to explore local shops and restaurants. The highlight for me was the beautiful garden; it offered a peaceful retreat and a lovely place to relax. The overall ambiance was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend EHA for anyone looking for a comfortable stay with great access to the heart of the city!"

We booked here in September last year and loved it for my parents. However, booked it again for them this year and unfortunately the experience and everything about the space was very unhygienic.

Verified reviewThe bed was nice. The aircon worked well. As did the ceiling fan. It’s spacious enough for two or three people.
Staff clearly didn’t expect us even though we’d had communications via booking. There weren’t any utensils. Nor were there amenities or free toiletries (unless you call an old bar of pre-used soap free toiletries). The high speed internet had to be topped up and started working on day two. It also stopped working that same day and didn’t come on until day 4 late at night. The minibar is a piece of paper with jacked up prices for things you can order via your roaming Internet. The tv is there and works, it’s just not hooked up to anything. Our poc didn’t respond to complaints until the very last night. Meh

Verified reviewStaff were great, always greeted with a smile and very helpful, neat location. I would definitely comeback to stay there if I came back to Samoa, its private, quite and has a relaxing "homey" vibe to it.
Very minor preference, not sure if an iron could be included in the room, I didn't ask as well as I was pretty busy running all around town.

Verified reviewThe location was ideal; it's a 3-minute walk to Apia Park & a 5-minute walk to Taumeasina Island Resort or the Taumeasina Hidden Gem. It's also a 15-20 minutes' walk to Apia. Free Wi-Fi & the sea breeze ensured I barely used the air con.
There was nothing that I didn't like about Eteline. It's clean & had all the amenities, e.g., hot water for showers when needed, kettle, microwave & fridge, I needed. In addition, my host, Abigail, was fantastic & most helpful during my stay.

Verified review- hospitality was great. Staff very helpful - free wifi. could connect my phone using Chromecast to the tv too which was nice. - location was the best, close to everything. I booked my stay to visit Apia park stadium and watch the weekend sport. Apia park stadium just up the road. - aircon - met my expectations for the price I paid. Fairly priced
enjoyed my stay, don't really have anything I didn't like but just a little bit of feedback: a cafe / restaurant on site would have been good, save us having to go offsite for meals but we did end up going to Paddles Restaurant which was a short drive away.
