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.).

New ZealandThe location is perfect, we stayed in Villa F, one back from the beach and it had a beautiful elevated view. It is right in the centre of Muri next to night markets and sailing club, convenience store and ATM. Easy walking distance to many great restaurants along the beach. Captain Tama and Koka lagoon cruises right next door. Krystina and Eugene the owners are so friendly and easy to deal with, Krystina organised a car for us got 2 days which was a great way to see the rest of the island, but confirmed that we had chosen the best spot! The lagoon is safe swimming and you can virtually walk through the water to the beautiful islands, great snorkelling and we loved using the kayak provided. Could not fault anything, we had a perfect holiday

AustraliaNo one reached out to organise a clean during our stay, so we didn't have one, but since we were there five days, it would have been good to have one half way through. Air conditioning cost extra, but there is such a cool breeze we didn't really find we needed it most nights (although there was one warmer night where it might have been nice). Also, appreciative that wifi was included but we found out after we'd already purchased data, so we didn't use the included wifi while we were there.
Comfortable accommodation in the heart of Muri Beach. We loved how accessible everything was from this accommodation with the markets at the rear, restaurants dotted along the beach and cafes a short walk down the road. There is also a 24/7 convenience store less than five mins walk away which was very handy. The view is spectacular and we loved waking up to the ocean view each day. It was also so nice having kayaks to use and we went out a few times and each time saw turtles swimming beside us which was truly magical. The room itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of towels, a functional kitchen and some included food, and a good sized bathroom.

The Villa has direct access to the the beach and you can enjoy the view of the astonishing Muri Lagoon. Also, the location is perfect to explore the island of Rarotonga and enjoy the Muri Night Market. There is a convenient 24h shop within 2 min walking. Complementary kayaks and bycicles were a plus! Definitely reccommended!

AustraliaThe step up to the stairs needs a proper step, a loose concrete block is dangerous. The tap over the sink was broken, needs fixing, no oven other than a microwave and gas cook top which were good, hot water is limited.
Clean, close to everything at Muri, including night food market, right on the beach.

Great location on Muri Beach, responsive owner and staff with a lot of nice touches. We particularly like the availability of an in room massage. The place is within walking distance to activities and restaurants. And located right by the night market. Owner was upgrading the WiFi while we stayed there and it was much improved before we left.Hope to come next year with a group.
