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 ZealandThe breakfast could really do with some more variety. There was an egg shortage during our stay which didn't help. Some gluten free bread and some savoury options would be great. I struggled with the thick pillows, I guess that is personal and everything is in New condition.
Beautiful resort, big beautiful room with spacious balcony. Amazing planting, super clean, friendly staff, free WiFi. Loved the beach, spotted whales during a spectacular sun set. Good snorkeling as well!

AustraliaIf there was one issue of the control of the resort it was the mosquitos in the laundry. But the island has them so it’s unavoidable.
We had the best time staying here! The ladies were exceptional to liaison with and we had no issues what so ever. The beach was incredible to swim in/laze around reading in the hammocks. We honestly could barely fault the place. Good location and amazing sunsets!

New ZealandWe had a garden room which didn’t get any sun, this was hard to dry clothing items. There is a dryer available but you have to wait for it to finish before heading out. Our next stay we would book a beach view unit that got the sun. Not a big issue.
Location is great close to the main town part, staff are all very friendly and helped with booking activities.

New ZealandEverything was lovely. Maybe you could provide some kayaks/snorkelling masks for guests to use.
The staff were all exceptionally friendly & helpful. We had an upstairs room which overlooked the pool - so private. Two pools to choose from (both colder than the lagoon but refreshing). Breakfast is included - cereals, fruit & toast. Handy to have Anchorage Restaurant on site. We really appreciated having the shower/bathroom facilities by the Birdcage Bar so we could still go snorkelling after checkout - very thoughtful (no extra charge) The sunset viewing area was lovely with Cape Cod chairs or sunloungers available. The reef is quite close here so easy to see lots of rejuvenated coral and a great variety of fish (only attempt near high tide though).

New ZealandThe staff were amazing, so warm and helpful. The restaurant staff at Anchorage went above and beyond and are such a great asset for the resort. The reception staff were super helpful and they had amazing facilities you could use with early or late check outs. Beautiful grounds, rooms very well cleaned and presented. Two pools by lovely gardens the family enjoyed and awesome hammocks and beach front setting. Definitely plan on coming back soon. Far and away better than other resorts we stayed at in Raro.

New ZealandThe breakfast options were disappointing, there was not enough fresh fruit. Only ate at the restaurant once as was very disappointed by the food and cocktails. Was expecting fresh fruit cocktails not cocktails made with cordial..we are in the pacific. The food was very average was expecting better given what I had seen online.
The room was comfortable and clean, the pool and beach front were amazing and lovely to relax. Staff friendly and helpful. Very private and quiet was a great place to relax and would definitely recommend and return.
