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 ZealandBathroom could do with a freshen up (renovation) and some shelving in the bathroom to put cosmetics, sunblock, medicine, etc on. Shelves in the wardrobe to place clothes on would be beneficial too.
Great location on the sunset side of the island with beach at end of driveway. Lots of resorts, bars, shops and stalls close by. 10mins in to town by car and 10mins down the road to Aroa Beach marine reserve for good snorkeling. Comfortable bed and spacious rooms. Shaded outside courtyard with seating. Clean pool to swim in. New BBQ Whole facility very clean and tidy.

Lovely location, enjoyed free use of Wifi, snorkeling equipment & reef shoes. A lovely touch was a mobile phone in each apartment to make local calls for bookings and wifi use if needed. There was also breakfast food for a few days provided ready in the room. We were in Apartment 2, and it was comfortable, quiet, and peaceful. Only a few meters walk to the beach to watch the beautiful sunsets. There are few spots to cool off at the beach, but it's better to jump in the car to close swimming and snorkeling beaches nearby. Really enjoyed our stay.

AustraliaEverything the location, to the people who stayed there even with their children were respectful. And totally the owners Brent amd Eve were amazing and also the last housekeeper for making flowers 🌷 arrangements for my partners 50th .
How easy it was to find as was clear from the road . How there was useful information in the book in room , the utilities room with dvds which we used just do much and also the mobile phone in room with $5 credit to use was very helpful as we had to use to book cruises. The Locstion for the bud was right outside and the access to the beach 🏖️ I would recommend to put some lighting on the pathway from rooms to beach as when sun goes down we had to use torch on the phone as was pitch black. Also was fun 🤩

New ZealandThe mindful-ness of the complex. upon arrival there was water at the front of the apartment to wash sand off your toes, a jug of cold freshly filtered water in the fridge, and the room kept at a nice chill temperature! All of these things a god send after arriving from NZ. The whole experience and reminders that as a guest on the island that water and electricity are precious commodities ♥️ and tips to minimize where possible, without inconveniencing you or locals. Recycling ♻️ facilities available to you, as well as on-site laundry and washing line! The beach less than 50m away, with beautiful views and sunsets. A quiet atmosphere at home that is relaxing (rather than overwhelming and busy common at resorts). A beautiful salt water plunge pool available, kept in immaculate condition by wonderful staff. An amazing and helpful team of caretakers (and owners) who are eager to provide advice, assistance and island wisdom! FREE, reliable and fast WiFi that enabled me to work while on holiday, keep my little person busy and communicate with friends & family back home - without costing the earth! Which differed from our resort experience - being unreliable wifi available for $5per day, per device 🥲. It gave me a Tauranga (NZ) vibe, within the complex. Could not have asked for a more relaxing environment to holiday. Thank you 😊

New ZealandClimbing the steps to go to bed after a long day haha! But in all seriousness, for the price, we cannot fault the property at all.
The property was well positioned with an almost immediate access to the beach, which was a great area to sit and enjoy the water, sunset and the calm that is Rarotonga! There were many added extras like sand toys, life jackets, flippers, water shoes, books, DVDs and puzzles for you to use while staying with them. The on-site laundry and clotheslines were appreciated and there was also a private courtyard behind the room which was a lovely added bonus. The patio off the top floor was a great spot for looking out onto the beach and the apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. The food provided was an added bonus and hugely appreciated, especially the first morning we arrived.

New ZealandLocation was great for us as we were close to family and the facilities that we needed to be at. Beach was great but not a swimming beach however it was close to other beaches that you could swim at. Great place for big groups of friends and families who want to be together but also have their own spaces. Facilities was clean and tidy. Owners and staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. Definitively would stay here again.

New ZealandWorth noting the property has a couple larger units and there is a chance you'll be booked in at the same time as a larger family/group. Luck of the draw as to noise levels and use of the shared pool.
Brent was very helpful in his communication prior to our arival. Spacious, comfortable unit. Water from the room's kitchen tap is treated and safe to drink and wifi included. Lovely beach access (we saw whales of the coast) and not too far from a couple different restaurants/cafes. Plenty if parking on site if you rent a car or moped.
