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.).

AustraliaProperty is in need of a revamp to tidy up the kitchen and bathroom. We ate out every night but there was a hot plate. Our room had pots but our friends did not. We had a bottle opener- they didn’t. Just need a bit more care with what is supplied to each bungalow.
The location right on the beach was perfect. Could walk from the bungalow straight onto the sand and into the beautiful blue water of the lagoon. We were there for seven nights for a fishing trip. The bungalows are basic but the bed was comfortable and clean. The balcony faces the sea and the sunset and were perfect to sit out on. Breakfast was delivered every morning- fruit, bread, jam and butter, juice and cereal and milk. The bungalows are perfect for their location and price. Look elsewhere if you want a more upmarket place to stay

New ZealandShower could be cleaner and felt that the receptionist seemed grumpy. Admitly she is not the one on holiday but having a happy disposition makes guests feel happy asking questions etc. The neighbors burning plastic on the odd occasion wasnt pleasant.
Great location on the beach. Brilliant view and lovely swimming spot. Beautiful sunsets from your deck.

AustraliaNot necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of - it is about a 3km walk into the main town which can be pretty warm on a hot day, so we would recommend arranging some form of transport such as car/scooter/bicycle to access the main town and visit Ootu beach sometime whilst staying here.
A very affordable and relaxing stay on Aitutaki! We were welcomed by the accomodation staff at the airport and were given a frangipani necklace and received free airport transfers. The bungalow was very comfortable and in an amazing location - Such beautiful water and reefs straight out the front of the bungalows. There is good food, drinks and happy hour located at the restaurant located on the accomodation grounds 3 nights per week and a yummy and affordable takeaway store 2 doors down. We loved it so much we extended our stay and the reception were very helpful. Daily breakfast was served at 8am and was always very good. There is a wifi hotspot at the accommodation and kayaks available for hire. Would definitely recommend for all travellers and we would return to stay here in the future.

United Kingdomnothing really. Oh yes the bar on the premises was only open on a Wednesday and Saturday evening, could have opened more evenings as the staff were very friendly, especially at happy hour.
Location was excellent, breakfast good, the cooking facilities were very basic, however we eat out every night. Accommodation could be upgraded keeping the character of the beach accommodation. ie one of the neighbourhood beach houses, where upgraded and looked far better.

New ZealandI can't really fault the accommodation to be honest. There is an on site bar which only ended up being open for the Saturday night of our stay, not too sure if this was due to staffing or low numbers of patrons at the time. Aitutaki itself it a quiet island with not all bars and restaurants opening daily anyway so wasn't beyond the norm.
Loved the location, just like the photos it was right on the water with a clean beach clear of litter. The staff were really helpful, provided pick up and drop off to the airport and brought breakfast up to our bungalow each morning. Air con in the bungalow was a massive bonus too! Would 100% stay again.

New ZealandIt was very tired, some floor tiles were cracked, doors didn’t shut properly, the shower had paint coming off, the taps dripped in the shower and basin. The toilet was badly stained. Generally it needed a lot of love inside and out.
