Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Great and very nice staff, the price includes transport from and to the airport, kayaks. Delicious breakfast. Excellent location right by the lagoon. They advised where to rent a motorbike/car. Free parking right next to the accommodation. They advised where to go to eat or go for a coffee if you don't eat in their restaurant.

AustraliaThe shower was awful in that the pressure was uneven such that it felt like you were being pricked by pins when showering. The lack of wifi except for a short distance from reception became difficult for planning trips. The breakfast inclusion was also sad. We were warned almost immediately to eat out. We highly recommend Koru Cafe which is a short walk from the property.
The location was fantastic. The beach is truly gorgeous. The restaurant on site was great for dinner. The staff were friendly.

AustraliaVery clean and spacious accommodation. Love that they include airport pickup and drop offs at no extra cost. In my opinion, the best beach on the island for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking. The staff go above and beyond and the dinner there at the restaurant was just incredible. Very close, walking distance to vaka and bishops cruise start point and a 10 minute bike or car ride to main town. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

United StatesWe had an incredible experience at Aitutaki Village! Robyn and the entire team were absolutely amazing—so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We booked a last-minute trip, and choosing Aitutaki Village turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and right near where the lagoon tours depart. Insider tip: Book your lagoon tour with Bishop's Cruises. Not only do you get a discount for staying at Aitutaki Village, but it’s also one of the best tour options around. While some companies have fancier boats, Bishop’s allows for more time on One Foot Island, which was a highlight for us. The on-site Blue Lagoon restaurant was another standout. Delicious food and refreshing drinks with a view you can't beat—highly recommend the vegetarian curry! We also loved being just a short walk from Koru Café and renting a moped from The Beach Hut made exploring the island so much fun. All in all, this was a 10/10 trip. We can’t wait to come back and would recommend Aitutaki Village to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in paradise.
