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.).

FijiThe safe in my room was not working.
I love the friendly staff, very approachable and kind. The location was really good for me and easy to get around. The breakfast was basic but very delicious, I would love to see the famous panipopo on the menu though. Despite sharing bathroom and toilets, it was very clean. I feel at home at Outrigger.

New ZealandI booked for two, but when we arrived, I had to pay a further 110 Tala because they said I had only booked for one ? When I showed them my booking the following morning, they refused to refund my 110 Tala. I'm not sure whether this is booking.coms fault or theirs??
It's an hours drive from the airport which is great if your wanting to go to the trench and waterfalls. The breakfast although extremely basic was lovely for a morning snack. The pool looked nice but doesn't open till 9am so we couldn't swim before we left.

New ZealandThe hotel was ok for our needs. However, I found the noise coming from the gym across the road made it hard to relax in our room. Others may not be bothered by it. The lack of parking and having to park our rental car on the road was a bit of a concern as the hotel is on a corner of two busy roads.
The staff were friendly. The breakfast was awesome and we were impressed. Having a pool was really good too. The rooms were acceptable for our short visit and were clean and tidy. The hotel suited us for a two night stay. The staff was what made our stay great. Thank you.

New ZealandThe beds were a double in the air conditioning rooms. Queen would be better.
The clean air con rooms. Breakfast was good. It is a small provider which means you don't get lost in the numbers as a guest. We had an outdoor fale and two air conditioning rooms. I originally booked the upstairs rooms which look lovely but got the air con rooms. Thought this was a down grade, but it turned out it was better, especially for baby.

SingaporeThe pillows are in need of a change, there’s smell to it. UV lamps can be used to kill mosquitoes and bath curtain has to be changed, there’s a mouldy smell. Would be good to let guests know that there will not be any shampoo/conditioner provided as well as hair dryer.
The staff were so hospitable I felt like it was one big family! They go all out to help you and cater to your needs. The hotel has a kitchen for use and laundry service is available for a fee too.

New Zealandrequested 2 single beds, this was unavailable although promised at time of booking. Compromise was to sleep in non airconditioned room first night - not good! Then insert a single bed into a small room with a double bed already. Space was limited but acceptable.
The location of the Outrigger was fantastic with lots of eateries close by. The staff were wonderful. Always friendly and helpful.

SpainThe accomodation is well set up, cleaned regularly and has excellent staff who were friendly and happy to assist or answer questions. The fale huts were beautiful, and quite comfortable with good air flow even though the weather was hot. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Coffee or tea, and a plate with egg, bread/breakfast biscuits fresh tropical fruit and samoan porridge. It was tasty and filling. The accomodation is a little further from the city, but it was quiet and peaceful and taxis are quite cheap in apia. Overall we had an amazing time and couldn't really think of anything that we would hope to see improved.

New ZealandNot really a complaint. But maybe they could have umbrella's available for guest (especially now with the wet season, guests may get caught in thunderstorms if just going a few hundred metres to nearby restaurants. Perhaps they could have a qty of snorkel & goggles available that could be hired or loaned to guests for use when visiting beaches, caves.
The staff were helpful and pleasant especially when needing to use taxi's (they gave suggested fare that you should pay) and suggested places to visit on the various islands. Daily breakfasts were different every day, local fruit a treat. Not located far from town, can walk or catch taxi.
