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.).

United StatesNothing.
A very quaint hotel near the Lihue harbor. Everything was clean and neat. To our surprise there was a Luau in the evening with great food, drinks and a live Hawaiian band and dancers. View of adjacent mountains was a fantastic backdrop. Would have stayed there longer.

United StatesWhen we entered our room it smelled very musty. After a few hours we aired it out but at first we were turned off by the stale air. We didn't realize they had beach chairs to rent. I wish someone said something.
Live music on Saturday night. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Many chickens and cats to enjoy. Rooms had a fridge and microwave. Hotel employees were great.

United StatesThe door to the room had a lock and key that did not open easily. The bathroom could use updating. The bathroom curtains had some mildew.
The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was decent. I especially enjoyed the fresh papaya, lychee, and apple bananas, as well as the Kauai coffee. The pool was nice. They even had pool toys for the kiddos. Comfortable bed and well-kept grounds. I was happy to have air conditioning!

United StatesGreat hotel with the old Hawaii feel. Some aspects of it are dated but staff very helpful, grounds and pool beautiful and decent breakfast bar. Much more laid back then staying at a stuffy big resort where prices are astronomical and staff struggles to smile at you- don’t overlook this gem!

SwitzerlandThere are no proper windows from the entrance and bathroom side so it's very loud, especially with plenty of cocks around. The sheets were not very clean. The housekeeping through our things around and some of them landed under the bed.
The room was very big and comfortable, we had an amazing view from the room! 24h/7 facilities are super nice.

Germany- roosters can be very annoying at night - air conditioning of the neighbors (we never used ours) very loud and noisy, especially annoying at night , the wall behind the bed vibrated and the art piece on the wall… was very annoying to us trying to sleep , I told them and I hope for the next guests they can fix something about that - location ok, but nothing to do without a car or bike - the bed felt uncomfortable for us but everyone‘s different about that - for us it was quiet expansive, but we noticed Kauai is expansive all in all, so in comparison it’s okay then.
- terrace facing the backyard, green, lots of chicken / roosters (which was nice during the day but not so nice at night ) - enough space - enough closet space - clean - good climate in the room even without using the air conditiong - very nice staff and available 24/7 - drinks (water, tea, coffee) free 24/7 - drinks (sodas) available to buy 24/7 - ice machine available 24/7 - laundry facilities available - lots of free parking space - different spots to sit or relax spread over the ground - bbq space - free wifi - some evenings there are small shows presented, unfortunately we never made it to see one
