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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaNot a thing! The only improvement would be a sign to identify where the bungalows are when arriving as it was a bit confusing since we hired a car.
Such a beautiful bungalow! Plenty of privacy from other homes. So spacious inside and out. Plenty of facilities.

New ZealandThe bed is a bit soft for both room, would be great if could upgrade the bed in the near future :)
This bungalow is right in the middle of Muri beach, close to 3 different car rental, walking distance to supermarket/take aways and Muri beach and Muri night market. Liana is the best host👍She not only provide outstanding service but also let us know the activities around the area. Liana tried her best to accommodated us even when I called her late in the night for additional blanket and towels, she actioned to it really fast. Hassle free check in, the bungalow got everything we need for our short stay! Thank u for having us Liana, we enjoyed our stay very much,will see you again in the near future.

New ZealandWas very hard to find in the dark when we arrived! Would be good to have a sign at the end of the driveway!
Loved this accomodation. Very clean and tidy, amazing having air con in the bedrooms. Very central in Muri Beach, walking distance to a lot of food places and beaches! Also a car rental place at the start of the road was very handy. Right across from the night markets too!

New ZealandThere were quite a few dogs and cats that (although cute) hung around, and were begging for food when outside. Felt like you couldn't sit outside and relax while eating as they would paw you/jump up on outdoor furniture.
Great place set back from Muri Lagoon, we had bikes and it only took a couple of minutes ride down the road before we were at the beach. Staff were very friendly, and the opportunity to store bags at a local resort made things much easier when flying out at night.

New ZealandIt's a very nice property. Not much to dislike. It catered very well to our needs
The very clean, self-contained bungalow is spacious. We were in bungalow 2. The beds are probably the most comfortable on the island and the shower is amazing. It had a washing machine outside and you can hook up your netflix account to the TV to watch movies. The property itself is about a 5-10min walk from a couple of Rarotonga's must-do's: Island car and bike hire, Koka Cruises, LBV cafe and the Muri night markets. You could probably walk down to Koka Cruises and access the beach there as well as hire a kayak or SUP from next door. The person we were dealing with even had us drop our stuff off at another hotel nearby before we checked in so that we could go on our cruise. They dropped our luggage off later. Very accomodating

New ZealandThe stepping stones from parking area to the house steps. Stepping stones closer together would have been a whole lot better and easier. The dog and cat constantly sitting at our door and hanging around, nuisance. Yes, we shooooed them away, but they wouldn't move off. The shower entrance having to step over with no safety handle to hold onto, possible slipping hazard. No rubber bathmat for shower floor, again, slipping hazard. Use of non slip floor tiles throughout is a hazard, should have used a matte floor tile. Not having a proper clothes line to hang up washing. Lounge setting, kept slipping away when standing because of the slippery tile, hazard for anyone who is not steady on their feet.
Location to Muri. Modern and clean look. The property was/is great with everything required for our stay. Presentation of property inside and out is great. A lovely feel to the property.
