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.).

United StatesThe parking lot is tight, but we managed to fit in and out okay. Thankfully we drove a small car, but I imagine it would be more challenging for bigger vehicles.
The view from our room was terrific and the staff was great. We even swam in the saltwater pool and enjoyed the company of other guests staying at the hotel. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks lulled us to sleep at night. The fans and ocean breeze made the room quite comfortable. No need for air conditioning.

Love the room and the terrace and the beautiful pool where the ocean splashes in. Very comfortable.

United StatesThe blinds were broken/ hard to adjust, so I had to change in the bathroom to make sure I wasn’t on display. The rooms could use a little updating/ it wasn’t dirty, but it wasn’t as clean as a typical hotel would be, and the shower pressure was very bad. However-this is me nitpicking. The location, private lanai, and pool are the big draws, and I definitely plan on returning to stay here again in the near future!
The location, the lanai , and the awesome salt water pool right behind the sea wall. The staff were lovely, friendly, and helpful. The beautiful sound of the ocean was constant, and kept me cool, even on hot days with no AC. The room itself is very no frills, but has everything you need. I really enjoyed my stay there.

It’s a small hotel it’s casual and peaceful and so close to the ocean that waves can spray int the pool ! Everyone on the staff is friendly and has good knowledge of Kona and are more than happy to help.

United StatesThe nights were warm while we were there, and the room was warmer. The two fans were really necessary and it was pretty hot. The many positives outweighed this negative, though.
The view from our room was spectacular!! Not only is the ocean beautiful, we could see the fish swimming right below our lanai. Totally magical.

PolandThis is a small hotel with a private pool and parking. It is not in central Kona, so it is quite far away from all the party noise, but it is still within walking distance if you want to grab a beer in a bar. The owner is very friendly.

United StatesThere were no complaints. The parking lot is small but there is street parking when it's full. There is no AC but with the fans and the slider open it was manageable. Besides if we had the AC we wouldn't have had the door open to hear the ocean.
The location in the seawall was perfect with the crashing waves. The salt water pool which the waves crashed into during high tides was beautiful and refreshing. Our room and lanai were well cared for and had everything we needed. Check-in was easy and pool tools were refreshed when wet.
