Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandRooms are not your fancy new everything if thats what you are after. They are comfortable and character :)
Where to start! Location was perfect, not far from airport / town. Snorkiling right outside your doorstep we saw plenty of fish and sealife, we were also lucky to get a beach front view from our room. Shipwreaked resturant and bar was amazing with live bands, delicious cocktails and food! Monday night island night was great! Room its self was spacious had everything you needed and was comfortable. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, we hired the resort car to use on sunday to tiki tour as nothing is open and used it to get to town monday morning for scooter license, very handy! Swimming pool was absolutely amazing! And lovely deck for bathing. Highly recommend, it is adults only ( children are allowed to attend island nights and resturant/use the beach)

AustraliaAll the Manchester could do with an update especially the towels. Definitely put everything away as the dogs like to steal items from your balcony which was a little disappointing
On arrival we were greeted by welcoming staff & were able to check in early. The location was fantastic & top swimming/ snorkeling spot. The food was delicious especially the fish & chips, the hamburgers & the chicken & fish tacos 🙌🏼 Cocktails were refreshing, just had to remind staff about happy hour prices. Breakfast was very basic, but did us. Loved the toiletries & water pressure. The Monday night cultural show was super entertaining along with the other nights entertainment of music. Overall we loved our stay here & would stay again.

New ZealandNothing!! It might not be fancy, but it sure is one of my fav places to stay.
The whole place was awesome! Our room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice deck to relax on. The pool area is also amazing with a stunning view of the ocean. Eating dinner in the bar/restaurant area was also great as it looks out over the beach. Couple of nights we at dinner at the picnic tables on the beach. And the staff were 11/10 - nothing was a problem, always welcomed us with a smile, and made us feel at home the second we arrived. We’ve already booked to stay here again next year.

New ZealandMaybe something to sort all the ants and having movie channels especially on those rainy days. But I would say it still looked very beautiful even when it did rain, but movie channels when you have a chill day. Was only 2 channels with the same thing lol.
A continental breakfast was great knowing you were going to eat heavy everyday. Staff was great location was also great for us as we were located between our friends so we always had a ride somewhere. We really loved our stay apart from some ants that were all out on our first night but got over it pretty quickly. Our room was tucked away and pretty private so would love the same room if I booked again. Just a really nice place to stay everyone was friendly and Lisa the manager was great to communicate with. Alot of cover so could still sit outside and enjoy the view.
