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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

New ZealandIt was very convenient to get your breakfast delivered to your door every morning {with a smile}. The beach is absolutely stunning with a good depth of water for swimming even at low tide. Glorius sunsets from your deck. The free airport transfers are also a bonus. Friendly staff with a smile and a beautiful lei on arrival. Enjoyed my meal {you have the option to take this back to your kabana} and the opportunity to meet other guests socially on Wednesday and Saturdays when the bar and restaurant are open.

AustraliaThe bungalows are fairly small and basic but the views and position on the lagoon made up for it.
The beach front location along a quiet stretch of beach was amazing. The views across the lagoon and the sunsets were hard to beat. I have to mention the staff also, they were.very warm and welcoming and helped with organising transfers and scooter/car hire.

Australiavariation of breakfast. They should ask what you prefer i.e. müsli insteads of pops or some ‚artificial‘ stuff.. just a recommendation….

AustraliaWe read some of the reviews that were not “glowing”, but honestly, this was the perfect choice for us. It was a well priced accommodation, more than adequate, and in a superb setting on the beach with the backdrop of the mountain. We had last visited 31 years ago and there were not many options on this part of the island at all. We were really primarily expecting the highlight to be trips out on the stunning lagoon. So didn’t have much expectation, but we were blown away by how beautiful this area was as well, and when we couldn’t get out on the lagoon for a number of days because of the wind, we absolutely loved enjoying our accommodation here and this part of the island. Walks along the beach, using the kayaks, and the sunsets, were stunning. The accommodation is basic, and maybe not for some people who want the luxury. But we enjoyed the natural setting and bungalow style. Breakfast was simple but really enjoyable and perfect for us, and more than enough. We think it’s in the best location on the island, for the price, and would definitely stay here again as a preference when next visiting.

The position on the edge of the lagoon was great. The office was not managed but breakfast delivered. Any staff we did see we had to call out to rooms at back to alert.They were friendly. Rooms were adequate and cleaned every 3 days.We all commented on hot water lacking and bathroom showers need major cleaning and repainting. Needless to say hoping details addressed and white wine in bar in future we would come again.
