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 ZealandEverything is so easy! Perfect set up at the best location. The lagoon is right there and so is all the equipment you need to enjoy it. Staff are very helpful and so friendly. Store, atm, bus stop, great places to eat are all very close Make this place your base for your Raro trip and you won't regret it.

New Zealandwe were picked up at the airport and the driver had our keys and directed us to our villa as we arrived when the office was closed. Very smooth process. we could see the sea from the villa and was just a few steps away. Loved having the snorkelling gear, SUP and kayaks all of which we used. there were outdoor showers and hoses to rinse everything off. breakfast was provided basic but did the job

AustraliaEverything was great. There was nothing we didn’t like.
A great location with lagoon views from our room. The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and all water-sport equipment were available for use at anytime. The guest room was fabulous as our flight wasn’t until 10pm. Having a room to use after checkout was a bonus. A peaceful place in paradise!

AustraliaNothing loved it all.
Loved location right on Muri Lagoon. Our one bedroom self contained sea view (lagoon view) apartment was in a perfect location, not right at the front on u shaped units but still had a view & 30 metres to deck which looked over lagoon & steps to beach. Had our own table & chairs & sunloungers out front of each unit. Apartment was comfortable, separate bedroom, lounge area, kitchen facilities if you’d like to cook(we didn’t), communal laundry (also didn’t use). Simple packed breakfast provided each day, juice, milk, small cereal packs, bread & condiments. Supermarket close by if you’d need more. Swimming pool up front of resort, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkels/flippers, reef shoes, bikes & local bus stop at front. Night market next door (not every night). Resort staff were wonderful, looked after everything we needed during our 7 night stay.

AustraliaReally only two negatives and a long list of positives 1. The bed was very spongy, we like firm mattresses but it was bouncy. 2. We found that the Beachcomber was reasonable value considering other properties but Raratonga generally is expensive to stay at and if you buy your own groceries, they are eye-waveringly expensive except for meat, which is good value.
Fantastic location on a huge, gorgeous area of the lagoon with lots of sandy base as well as great snorkelling. Many Raratonga properties have rock beds on their lagoon out front, which makes swimming a lot less enjoyable, but the Beachcomber is a perfect mix. Also brilliant was the access to the night food market (next door), amazing Takitumu Tapas (wow food) across the road, plus the truly wonderful Saigon Shack (incredible quality Vietnamese) and excellent Nautilus restaurant, both a short 5min bike ride away. Free bikes were fantastic to have, free unlimited wifi was great for movies on rainy days/nights, kitchen was pretty good for cooking, bathroom/shower was modern and roomy, plenty of interior space overall, nice grounds.

AustraliaI feel breakfast was a bit basic compared to other resorts on the islands. Fresh fruit, smoothies, bakery bread were some of the choices in other places I visited.
Situated in a great location with lots of restaurants nearby including the night food markets next door. Outdoor lounges and tables were provided for each villa and outdoor equipment for water activities were plentiful. Also 2 viewing areas overlooking the lagoon made for a relaxing environment.
