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.).

LatviaBreakfast was very basic for the price paid. Probably expectations were to see a boutique hotel or standalone villas, but none of them was right. When stated 'entire villa', one should read 'appartment with separate entrance'.
Location - Muri beach- is great, building is well positioned and next to the beach. Enough room for all the activities, only bedroom could have more daylight.

New ZealandCaptain Tama’s cruises (next door) were noisy but they have a fun vibe and wasn’t as annoying as I expected!
Location was perfect. Best area on the island. Stunning beach, safe swimming, great snorkelling. The villas are very spacious and solid. I had been worried about noise as shared walls but none at all. Breakfast was delicious and loads to eat. Host/staff attentive but not obtrusive. Very relaxing break.

New ZealandNothing! Everything was amazing.
Absolutely loved the location on Muri Beach, it was close to coffee shops, local dairy, Muri night markets and popular food restaurants. We also loved being able to use the paddle boards throughout our stay and relaxing by the pool to a beautiful stunning view. To top it off, the staff were incredible and always available to answer any questions we had. Tui was absolutely awesome and easy to deal with throughout our stay.

New ZealandFor the cost of accommodation at the higher end there should have been complimentary airport transfers (we stayed 6 nights). Our friends stayed in much cheaper accommodation which provided the transfer. There was a discrepancy with the information provided on the booking.com website which I was told on two occasions would be dealt with however it was not.
The breakfast was a bit repetitive. A variety of pastries would have been nice so each day was different.

New ZealandThe facilities in-house were fantastic including the washer and dryer in your unit, sky TV for those rugby games, and paddle boards available. The weather was sometimes average (middle of winter) so the heated pool and spa meant that we still swam, and the unit had loads of space to read uninterrupted (indoor and out). Being only 6 Villas in the complex it felt like you were in your own paradise.
