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 towels need replacing.
The Daydreamer is a wonderful place to relax, swim and explore the island. Snorkeling beaches are close by. A very good supermarket is 2 mins up the road. Lots of restaurants are close by and the rattley, old bus stops just outside the property.

New ZealandIf possible more soap and toilet paper for longer stays if possible :p
The owners/staff were incredibly friendly, kind, warm and helpful. It was almost like catching up with a friend. Beautiful gardens, the pool was amazing and the rooms were just perfect. Room to laze about if you were wanting an afternoon in, close enough to shops to be comfortable and the bus came often enough! Would 100% recommend coming here again. We absolutely will.

New ZealandWe really enjoyed staying here. It was nice and peaceful for myself and my family. We came to Rarotonga to relax and this was the perfect place for that. It was near the beach and also really close to a good snorkelling spot. The waterfall was near and so was a fairly big food store. The room was also very clean and tidy when we arrived 😊 it was nice to have access to extras such as snorkelling gears, a BBQ and a pool.

New ZealandFirst time to Raro and didn’t realise the beach etc is at Muri. Definitely needed a scooter but that was fun. Screaming kids at the pool got a bit tiresome but would definitely recommend staying here otherwise. ( Maybe not in school holidays unless you have kids!)

New ZealandWe arrived late in the evening and were delighted at how easy our hosts had made our check in. A delicious breakfast parfait & freshly baked loaf of bread with spreads was a welcome surprise for our first morning breakfast. The grounds are surrounded in tropical foliage and is such a tranquil, peaceful place for a relaxing holiday.
