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 ZealandThere was nothing we didn't like about the resort. The roosters may annoy some people ... if they do, you can close the shutters and use aircon ... we preferred not to as liked fresh air and didn't notice them after the first morning. Yes Restaurant on site is leased out and while quite good has room for improvement (not long since Rarotonga has opened up again so I am sure will fine tune things). We did have some lovely food and some average food. Music night was fun.
The resort was just the right size. We had a beach front room which was perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The reception staff were particularly lovely. Loved being so close to the sea which was warm. (Best to have reef shoes as there are rocky bits). Loved the hammocks to read in.There were also two pools which were nice to lie around and swim in. Also we checked out at 10am but were able to lie around the pool and beach and then use the showers (with towels and shampoo provided) by the pool before catching 2pm shuttle. Happy hour at the bar was great too.

New ZealandWifi had weak signal in rooms but was a generous data amount for not much money
We are returning Sunset guests. The rooms are extra spacious with very comfortable beds and generous balconies.Two separate pools never crowded.All the meals at the Anchorage restaurant were delicious..we stayed in for two dinners being seafood and roast nights,reccomended. Bonus being at least 5 excellent local restaurants are walking distance away,and islandcar hire, plus bakery and shop over the road. We snorkelled at a few 'fish hotspots' but actually found the reef right outside the resort to have great fish numbers and clear water ..on tide turn..with colorful coral. And even very warm water, we were lucky to witness whales breaching 100 meters away. And lastly of course the staff here are a credit to the resort everyone so friendly and helpful especially Tina on reception.

New ZealandWiFi was quite expensive compared to other places on the island. Air conditioning unit wasn’t very powerful, and I was woken up at 4am every morning by the resident cockerel!
The staff were very friendly and made an effort to remember guest names and room numbers. Great location - it was lovely to watch the sunset on the beach hammocks. Also nice to have the choice of two pools.
