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 ZealandThat we had to leave!
This is a perfect getaway spot for a group! Lara is the most amazing host and Summer (the resident princess dog) is just a wee gem! The home itself is very well appointed with absolutely everything you need! We had adult kids join us and it was just perfect! The pool is such a bonus and was well used on our stay! The huge yard, outdoor areas, seating and pool hut were fab, the private beach was the icing on the cake. We did quite a bit of cooking and the kitchen was super. The laundry has a huge washing machine and dryer but the clothes line is well situated for drying (even in the pouring rain). We will absolutely be back!

New ZealandI really can't fault anything. It was just perfect.
We loved that we were tucked away in our own place with everything to ourselves. My kids spent more time in the pool than they did out of it. It really did feel like we were in a home, and not an accommodation unit. Having Summer greet us at the front door every morning was an extra bonus.

Lara was very hospitable and responsive to messages. The house was in a great location where you can watch the sunsets, it's was clean, tidy and had all of the home comforts. When we arrived there was fresh fruit and flowers (so lovely) The outdoor area was great, we spent most of our time outside by the pool and on the beach.

New ZealandLara was awesome to deal with. Super accommodating and nothing was a problem. The rooms were huge and it had a couple of ensuites. The open plan kitchen and lounge were really comfortable and we even got fresh fruit on our arrival. There was heaps of sauces, spices etc and milk when we got there. The washing machine is huge and it has some undercover lines to dry clothes quickly. The winner is the outside area. It has a number of living sapces and we loved sitting under the cover and reading. The kids loved the big outdoor grassed area, the beach right there and and obviously the pool. The house is an easy 10 minute walk to to beach side pubs (Shipwrecked and Wilsons) and Beluga Cafe is a 1 minute walk up the road. This area of the island is not great for snorklening but if you drive 5 mins down the road, it is great. We have stayed in a number of places on the island and this is the best. It has everything you will need! HIghly recommend!

New ZealandThe water pressure in the shower was a bit hit and miss but we were told that's normal in Rarotonga. The addition of air conditioning in the living room would take this accommodation to the next level.
The pool was a lifesaver in the heat of the day and beautiful to relax in, in the evenings. The house is so comfortable and so much space. Air conditioning in each bedroom so no hot sticky nights. Lots of mozzi coils for us to use in the evenings. The sunsets every evening were just beautiful to watch. Our transfer to the accommodation included a stop to get some groceries, very considerate of the driver to offer this and very much appreciated. It was perfect 👌
