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...).

New ZealandThis is only a minor issue. Carparking is tight for bigger vehicles and so be better to hire a smaller car or motorcycle.
There is a lot to like at the property. The hosts Anna/Rob are very welcoming and showed us to our unit and explained where everything is, from filling up your water bottle for drinking to the laundry room and designated areas for smokers as well to the recycling bins. BBQ and pizza area to use and relaxing is so spacious and good for families. Unit so spacious. Super king-size bed is so comfortable. Smart tv with my favorite tv apps was awesome. The bathroom is absolutely dreamy and spacious and clean. Breakfast provided by the host for the 1 day until you get your own supplies at wigmores as it is only 2 mins away on a car or motorcycle is great. The swimming pool 100% is what is required to cool off after a day out in the heat or whenever you like to swim. Beaches nearby, absolutely 💯. Luscious gardens are also so beautiful around the the units provides privacy, too.

CanadaI arrived early in Raro,,I was feeling pretty spoiled as Rob picked me up from the airport. He showed me around town and dropped me off to explore.He took my bags to the hotel as my room wasn't quite ready.Found the bus ,so perfect. Once I checked in, Anna showed me to my room .It was so beautiful and well equipped.Perfect in every way. Even a delicious breakfast for the next morning. Brand new bathroom reno, it was all so excellent. The only thing I would change is to stay longer. Anna even offered me a ride back to town to catch my flight , sge said she was going there anyway, so sweet 🙏❤️

New ZealandNot the accommodations fault but it was so hot, the fan in the room was great during the night but it did little for us during the day. We went in the peak of summer. Internet was slow for my son but it didn't bother the rest of us.
The breakfast was so nice my son ate three of the yogurt muesli

Everything! Anna and Rob have created a paradise within paradise. Super friendly and helpful people, always happy to answer any of your questions. The accommodation was fully set up, even with a first-day breakfast that wasn’t part of the package – such a nice touch! No rigid rules, just a relaxed vibe, everything clean and ready to go. This is one of those rare places I’d love to return to. Thank you, Anna! Thank you, Rob! ✌️See ya! 😁

Everything it was perfect. Location to the beach, swimming and snorkeling with tropical fish and turtles. Accommodation was also brilliant, clean and comfortable with plenty of room, outside deck partly covered with loungers and table / chairs, swimming pool, full kitchen and the gardens are amazing. I thought it resembled a Boutique Garden Motel. I would highly recommend to all.
