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.).

New ZealandThe food was okay but lacks fresh fruits and veggies, and some of the seafood didn't taste so fresh. Also, there was a wedding one night which was nice, but while we were swimming in the water the manager shouted to us that we need to get out of the water in 30 min which was an unpleasant surprise. Otherwise we had a great stay.
We had a wonderful stay at muri beach club hotel. The location is superb, just on the sea, and it's the best beach on that side of the island. The staff is so nice! They knew our name and were super kind. We got served food and drinks to our beach chairs and it was great.

AustraliaI think a foot mat outside the doors or one immediately inside the door leading to the beach would be helpful as we stepped straight onto tiles. There was a bowl of water by the door leading to the beach which we used but still a mat would be useful. The hotel provided room slippers which was great.
Lovely breakfast and a very nice dinner on our arrival night. The staff were super friendly and very helpful explaining everything along the way. For us it was a stopover night, I wish we’d spent a few nights there. We also liked the skincare products supplied in the room and all the decorative fresh flowers in our arrival day.

New ZealandMaybe a few more deck chairs on the beach and the cushions that go with the deck chairs were a bit tired, maybe need replacing soon. That's the only thing we can think of.
Location was excellent. Staff were awesome, friendly, relaxed ever helpful, nothing was a problem. The food and cocktails were great, we will be back to this accommodation.

New ZealandWe had to come home... :D In reality, the jungle fowls (local poultry) were loud, and it is an inconvenience everywhere in Raro, so don't forget to bring your earplugs (if you forgot, it is okay, because the hotel has ear plugs).
We (and everybody else at the same time) got a complimentary hot breakfast because the buffet selection was low (seasonal problem with fruits, veggies, etc.). Muri Beach is the most fantastic location. Snorkelling in the lagoon is a must. The staff is fantastic, and you MUST go for a massage. Linda is the best.

New ZealandAll of the staff were really friendly & made a point of remembering and using my name at each interaction, which was lovely. Breakfast was included and in addition to the usual cereals, fruits, meats/cheese was a complimentary cooked option which changed daily. Bed was comfy & whilst the bathroom is starting to look its age the room it was fully functional and was kept absolutely spotless daily by the housekeeping staff - I don't recall finding a room so well cleaned before! I had a ground floor beach front room with a small deck leading onto the sand of Muri Beach. In fact I could look out at the lagoon from my bed. A nice touch was the foot bowl on the edge of the deck to remove sand before going into the room. Fast internet included with no issues!

New ZealandThe only thing, and which is probably not possible to change, is there are no insect screens on the windows or sliding door on the balcony side of the room.
We chose a Deluxe Beachfront Double Room for the view, and we were not disappointed! Simply gorgeous outlook, with a balcony on which to enjoy it too. The room was spacious, very comfortable, clean and modern. We loved having the option of breakfast at tables on the sand or in the dining room with views out to the lagoon. The swimming pool is sheltered from any wind, which makes it a great place to sit and read, relax and swim, with drinks and snacks on offer by the nearby bar staff. We made use of the free kayaks available for guests.
