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.).

Casual luxury is exactly what you get . Great location, great food , great service. Nothing was a problem. We spent 7 nights in a Beachfront Bungalow. Room 202 . Although all the bungalows look great and are located well it was worth the extra to be right on the beachfront. Having a beautiful breakfast included is fantastic and with either continental and / or full cooked al acarte it certainly sets you up for the day ! Don’t bother looking elsewhere, Tamanu Beach Resort is where you need to be 😊.Look forward to a return visit soon.

New ZealandOur stay was too short.
Our experience was awesome even though we didn’t book any excursions because the ones that suited us were not operating at the moment, it did not faze us at all. The hospitality was so genuine its reflected by the history of the place and it’s humble beginnings also owned by locals and run by locals absolutely loved it.

New ZealandBreakfast was great. There was a continental breakfast you could help yourself with. I enjoyed the pastries and fruits. Plus a la cart you could choose from. I highly can recommend the French toast. The super friendly staff are always happy to help and assist you. Our hut was spacious and clean, and had comfortable beds. Beautiful location on the beach. Great sunsets!

New Zealandthere was nothing that we did not like I have a suggestion and its only a minuet picky one...the bed we had was so hard, I woke everynight/morning with a sore back. After the third night I did ask if there were any mattress toppers! so maybe a suggestion for the future.
We enjoyed our stay, the breakfast was great could either order from menu or have fruit and cereal. We got to have a complimentary barista coffee each morning. We arrived on a Sunday so done the BBQ night lovely fresh salads there was fish, sausages, steak and lamb chops it was a full house and even though it was a buffet the meat wasn't topped up so some of us missed out on the lamb chops but there was still other options avail. the pool and grounds were clean.. the rooms are spacious and the bathroom had a huge shower, there was also an outdoor shower which we used most of the time.. The snorkeling was great out the front of the resort, we were in the adults only part of the resort with a nice pool

New ZealandA great resort - the room exceeded our expectations and Aitutaki itself is so beautiful it wouldn't matter where you stayed. Our room was virtually on the beach even though we did not have a seaview room. The resort restaurant was good, island night is a must do. Prices were reasonable for food and drink. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. The resort facilities were great - bikes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards all available when you wanted to use them. You can also hire a scooter for 24 hours for $30!
