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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaThe bungalow was gorgeous and had everything we needed. It was right next to the beach and the location was the best part of the Cook Islands in my opinion. The best thing was Shirley our host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. We will be back!!

New ZealandCouches were less comfortable, but then we spent a lot of time sitting inside so didn't really matter!

AustraliaYou can keep the rooster wake up call at 4am every morning on the dot lol 😂. This didn’t deter our stay at Muri beach Haven though, just speaking in general.
For our stay it was the perfect place, had everything we needed in a great location. A special shout out to Andrea for her welcoming hospitality and helpful information. Really set the holiday experience up for a good vibe which lasted the whole stay. Much appreciated 🤙🏽

New ZealandShirley was the consummate host. From start to finish SHE made our stay exceptional. The villas were modern, clean, functional, private….we had everything we needed. We loved the location, a 5 min walk to the breathtaking Muri Lagoon & Beach, cafes, restaurants, night markets. Shirley’s local knowledge was invaluable. She made sure all our needs were met & never imposed on our privacy. We were provided with kayaks, snorkeling gear, reef shoes & yummy tropical fruit. It was our first time in Rarotonga & staying at Muri Beach Haven, away from the hustle & bustle was absolutely divine! We will DEFINITELY return & stay at MBH again. Shirley’s personal touch & warm welcoming beautiful nature adds magic to your holiday!

New ZealandThe Roosters are quite annoying when you first arrive ! A community pool for the chalets would be great.
Great location, 2 min to the beach and within walking distance to shop, bakery, restaurant and bars. Very comfortable with everything you need. The bonus was the use of the kayaks !

AustraliaThe cleaners didn’t come to service the property at all while we were there. We did not expect daily room clean or anything - but for an eight night stay in a warm climate the sheets should have been changed at least once.
This is a nice property, close to everything and great value for money. Shirley is lovely and helpful.

Great location for being close to lots of different eating options. The self catering option, having full kitchen facilities was perfect for our extended family gathering.

New ZealandThe chickens were noisy at times, but they are part of the experience.
We loved the location, being so close to lots of activities such as the night markets, Caprain Tamas and the island cultural night. It's was a 2 minute walk to the pristine lagoon and there are kayaks available to use. Shirley was so helpful and very accommodating to all of our needs. She made us feel so at home and welcome. Whenever we needed to know anything she was right there to help. Our children loved going crab hunting and fishing in the creek right behind our room.
