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.).

AustraliaSome of the staff in the dining area need to learn to smile and greet gusts with a friendly hello or kia Orana.
Our family Bungalow was perfect with plenty of room for 3 adults and a 2 year old. We loved the outside shower. Rooms cleaned every day if needed including fresh towels. We also loved the free pick up and drop off from the airport with aunty Nane. A beautiful woman. Staff at front desk were very nice.Have been here 3x and will definitely return.

We loved everything about Tamanu Beach. The location was incredible, snorkelling from the beach was perfect.All the staff were friendly , welcoming and helpful. One bedroom bungalows we’re very well designed and suited to the beach lifestyle. Beds were very comfortable Food was excellent value for money and plenty of it.Cocktails were very good too. Island nights held at Tamanu were good fun and a definite must. We didn’t want to leave. would definitely stay here again

Amazing property, huge bungalow, spacious and luxurious. Love how all bungalows have views of the beautiful lagoon. Great pool, and everything is provided that you may need - kayaks, snorkelling etc. The staff were second to none, so accommodating and friendly. Definitely do the Island night if you can, food was to die for, and the dancers majestic.

AustraliaWe stayed on the newer side of the property where the gardens aren’t as well established. Minor observation only.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We experienced beautiful hospitality. Location is outstanding. We had a beach front cabin and the kids (adults) had a garden cabin close by. Waking every morning to such an amazing unhindered view of the turquoise waters, palm trees and white sandy beach from our bed was incredible. We plan on returning.

New ZealandThere were not many loungers near the pool or beach so struggled to get a seat most days. The rooms were not well cleaned during our 5 night stay and sheets were not changed at all.
Beautiful location, units all had a nice lagoon view and place was quiet and peaceful. The pool was lovely to cool down in. Enjoyed the Sunday BBQ and Island nights. Great selection for breakfast and delicious food, and the restaurant staff were very friendly.

Beautiful bures, on a great swimming beach. The pool was a real treat to cool off in and the snorkeling off the beach was fantastic. My bure was amazing, with the biggest bed I have ever slept in. The bathroom and kitchenette/wardrobe warm had everything you could need and were well appointed, and the outdoor shower a bonus. The restaurant was a lovely setting and the food was exceptional. Watch out for the cocktails - delicious but strong!
