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.).

New ZealandWas very surprised that the double bed upstairs was in the back room with no view compared to the two singles that had an amazing view with the deck as well personally I would change this around or give guests the option to have the bedding arrangements changed for their stay.
Loved the character of the log villa. Loved the views from each balcony. Loved the setting. Everything was very clean and well kept around the property. The villa was very spacious and was well stocked. Fantastic having the bbq. Lots of small appliances to use eg air fryer and blender and coffee machine. The starlink internet access was fantastic. Really appreciated all of the things round the ground such as the pool , trampoline and even the coconut dehusker which the kids loved seeing the adults use. The bikes and the kayaks were also a great thing to have. Having the outdoor towels also very handy for the beach and poolside. As well as having the appropriate mud buggy towels too what a great idea. Overall our stay here was fabulous. .

Perfect for a family of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids). The villa was very clean with ample space for us to spread out across 4 bedrooms. Appreciated the loaf of bread and milk on arrival. Those little things really help when you have children. The amenities were great, being able to do laundry and reheat leftover takeaways for the kids in the air fryer. We all loved the pool sooo much. Great location with parking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff that come every day were all very nice and welcoming. It made you feel as though you were being well looked after.

New ZealandThe bees lol....my husband actually got stung. But you guys even had Malt Vinegar in the room and that worked its magic.
That everything was available onsite free of charge. Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, lifejackets, coconut husk even insect repellent, sunscreen, fresh bread, butter, milk all the condiments. The beds were very comfortable, the location was the best view and so close to everything. Kept immaculately clean everyday with the grounds, pool, rubbish cleared every morning. Well done team!!

New ZealandThe pool was amazing. As the weather wasn't the best while we were there. So, the kids lived in the pool. Which had toys to play with. On the couple nice days, we took the kayaks over to the islands. Where we saw a turtle 😍 The view is beautiful, and staff are lovely. It's a really neat place to stay.

New ZealandSlight walk up a hill to get to.
The property had magnificent views of their pool & the lagoon. It was only a short walk to Muri Village & easily kayaked to medium-high tide. The grounds of the property were exceptional, the owner and his team always ensured that the pool & garden area was cleaned on a daily basis, very high standard.
