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 ZealandIf you are the person who likes to have everything at your finger tips whilst on holiday - transport, endless staff, restaurants, no need to leave yiur accomodation - then this place is not for you. If you struggle to “put your phone down & have no technology” this is not for you. we love going out to explore so we loved this place. We loved the simplicitt, authenticity & the basic set up of this accomodation .
We loved how simple & down to earth this accomodation was. It was in a good location to access all areas of the Aitutaki! It offered an authentic stay - with no TV & the beach at your door steps. It was everything we needed & it what is expected for the price range. The staff were amazing, werent at all in your face & we were given the freedom to do what we wanted, whenever. The breakfast is great - love the local fruit !

New ZealandNo microwave to cook our own food. No cupboards to store food away from insects. Coconut trees not maintained to prevent falling fruit. Quite dangerous as the balcony was directly under a heavily fruiting coconut tree which dropped a couple while we were there. Shower had a constant drip. No major issues really. We just didn't realise how isolated the island was and how simple life is there. I guess we expected a bit much and were a little surprised.
Right on the Beach of the lagoon was fantastic! Handy to takeaway food and a 24/7 shop. Fresh local fruit every day for breakfast. Incredible views of the lagoon every day.

United Statesit was great that the windows had screens, but some needed replacing. There were a few bugs. They advise not to drink the tap water. They had bottled water for us which we replenish at the community "fountain" which had uv filtered water. No problems occured.
Wow breakfast included which had lots of fruit. It was right on the beach. Our bungalow had a thatch roof which really made it feel tropical. It also had a small balcony for sitting and staring at the sea. Very relaxing. This was not a luxury resort so it had a very local Islander feel which we liked.
