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.).

AustraliaThey advertised in their brochure that you had fresh flowers on arrival, but they said they didn't offer this.
Loved the location right on the beach and the walk along the beach to the Pacific resort hotel where we could use the facilities. The villas were lovely and the bed was very comfortable. My husband had a medical episode at 4am so I went to the hotel and they gave me an escort to the hospital. Their kindness was overwhelming.The staff were so lovely and rang most days to see if everything was ok. They gave us free wifi for the room and at the Pacific hotel which was good. Muri beach is probably the nicest part to stay on the island as it overlooks a couple of islands and is a very pretty spot with a coffee shop, supermarket and fast food restaurant over the road and others within walking distance.

New ZealandBeds are very soft (yeah, first world problems but still not good for backs).
Great location on the outer edge of Muri beach, where the water is clearer. Great snorkelling- saw turtles and rays straight out from the resort. Bit of an effort to get out to the good swimming at low tide though. We had a 3 bed, 2 bath standard Villa. Quiet and private, plenty of space.

Australiacould not fault our stay. Everything was fine.
The location is the best spot on the island. There are a couple of shops across the road and a coffee cart plus a fantastic bar with sensational food about 300m aways. Walk straight into the lagoon and snorkeling with fish in under 20 seconds. Wi-Fi is really expensive in Cook Islands with Vodaphone and the accommodation has unlimited for 5 devices which is great.

United KingdomV unhappy about the 5am return transfer to the airport for a 9am flight. Was told this was because the bus did multiple pick ups…in reality it was a small mini van and it was just us (family of 4) and another couple who were already in the van when it arrived at 5am. The airport was CLOSED when we were dropped off…Stupidly early start for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Would advise anyone staying there to book their own taxi and not let the villa/resort book it for you.
Spacious, comfortable, good size pool, right next to the beach, excellent service from all staff

United KingdomNot really made clear that this is entirely self catering AND has no included housekeeping - so it really is just like renting a villa on Airbnb, it isn’t really a hotel. Staff at the connected hotel also ‘forgot’ to pick us up a couple times when we ordered a shuttle and were waiting outside by the road
Pros: on the beach, spacious villas, free kayaks, reef shoes and snorkels etc

New ZealandWould be nice for the price to have housekeeping, the floors always felt sandy, which put sand in the bed etc. We didn't use our pool much as it was really exposed to the winds and was really cold, the ocean was warmer, so that was a waste for us.
Location was great, right on the beach, shops across the road, spacious rooms. Loved the deck and outside area. Nice big bathroom, comfy beds. The concierge service was amazing.

New ZealandI think the villa/s should be fumigated regularly. We were unable to leave anything on the bench in the kitchen without it being infested with ants.
Everything was provided for, reception staff checked in with you before closing to see if you needed anything...Everything about this place was amazing.

New ZealandThe ladies in the spa were lovely, however I think the massage was not up to par with a 5 star spa. I have my own and would suggest more training in massage to make it a truly memorable experience.
The property was absolutely stunning and the staff were so fun, kind and helpful. They were there to help with anything we needed. Especially loved Razia and Cody.
