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.).

United StatesPerhaps more family friendly? no games or toys for kids. No simple coffee filters for coffee machine, no garbage can in bungalow (just small one in bathroom and on porch) Beach is not very swimmable at the time of year we were there a notice about this would have been nice. Maybe mosquito coil for outside time (?)- maybe posted guide of recommendations for grocery/meals/excursions for easy reference
Clean, quiet and private.

United KingdomSome things were showing signs of wear and tear but this is expected when it is so close to the sea with corrosion.
The property was right on the beach so you could hear the waves. It had everything you needed, even Netflix. The bed was very comfortable and had a mosquito net. It had a lovely terrace to sit on which was great when it was raining. It is a rural location so a car is needed to get out and about but I only had the car for the first week of my 2 week stay and that was ok. They have a washing machine that you can use but no drier. Hina is very helpful as is Carlos, nothing was too much trouble for them and they made my whole stay very pleasant.

New ZealandJust make sure you have plenty of insect repellent and if you wish to sit outside in the evening you will need coils to burn.
The bungalows are well equipped and right on a beach. Ideal for a couple or adults with kids. The little dog Fare is adorable and very good at digging for crabs.

AustraliaA little bungalow right by the sea. At night you can hear the waves on the beach. The bungalow was all self contained with cooking facilities and fridge and air con and fans. It had an outdoor area with a BBQ. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was beautiful. There is a bus service from Papeete or you can rent a car via the accommodation. About 40 kms from Papeete but only about 8kms from Taravao. In a little town you can buy fresh fish straight from the boat at the weekend, it has a small Carrefore and a Supermarket U.

New ZealandThe fale was very dark, which wasnt helped by the cold misty weather, our cups and dishes were not clean. The place has a dog and I think others visit. The person looking after the place didnt clean up after the dogs so there was quite a few dog bombs around that you had to avoid, Dogs everywhere on the island so get used to that hehe, and the road noise was rather a let down, really busy first thing in the morning 5.30am 6.30am
I love visiting the islands and I do not like giving bad reviews as each to their own in what they like as a holiday space to stay. I will say that when we stayed here we had booked in for three nights. We arrived and the weather was cold and misty and raining, we had that for two days, yes you get that in the Islands. We pulled out after two nights and went back around to the sunny side and stayed an extra night in Papeete. I can totally see this place being a nice place if you have sun lol and the section was better looked after
