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.).

Accomodation clean and pleasant. Valued the AC as weather was particularly hot and humid during my New Year stay. Staff very attentive. My room contained everything to meet my needs including a kitchenette. The food was good in the restaurant located within the complex which overlooked the lagoon and had fabulous sun set views.

New ZealandBring your earplugs for the roosters (although this is not specific to this hotel)! Some of the rooms are close to the road. No air-conditioning but the fan was good enough for November.
Close to beach, restaurants, and shops. Clean and comfortable, kitchenette was great to have, equipped with everything we needed for our stay, friendly staff. It was nice to be able to hang out at the pool after check-out.

CanadaPool was nice but very buggy. Not much of a beach, only access to it from the property is through the restaurant which closed in the afternoon so you had to go along the road to get to it.
Close to shops and restaurants, but quite a long way from the port. Nice bungalow with deck overlooking the lagoon. They let us check in early, the guy at the front desk was helpful and booked a tour for us which was great as most things are closed on Saturday afternoon.

ItalyI loved the location, right in front of a nice beach and the resort is nice but you should choose the bungalows, since the hotel rooms are in a building and not so nice. Small rooms, little equipment for the kitchen. I think it's a bit overpriced.

United StatesThere are hotel rooms and bungalows. We stayed in the hotel portion, which was really outdated and very generic feeling. The room was not very impressive. The pool was nice to have but very small. It was also a little ridiculous how stingy they were with towels. It wasn't a great value, in my opinion. I think it's worth it to spend more money if you are looking for modern amenities in a more modern environment.
The location was nice. It was a fairly quiet place to stay, which was a factor when we chose to stay here. There were a couple of restaurants close, which was nice later at night. The hotel is next to the public beach, which has good snorkeling off the beach. The sunsets were amazing!

United StatesOur room had a small kitchenette but it was hard top wash our dishes in the small bathroom sink The roosters on the grounds will wake light sleepers up every morning There was a park right outside our rooms front door & a group came & did aerobics one of the mornings, cranking their music up and waking us. Probably nothing the hotel could do other than ask them to move to the center of the park instead of right near the fence, 10 feet from our door Our shower did not have a door so for privacy, we kept the bathroom door open, to somewhat block it.
The beach was beautiful and not rocky or full of coral, unlike in Tahiti. It was also only a 200 foot walk from our room The Sunset bar had amazing food and I loved my spicy pizza! We did not experience bugs like we thought we might The room did not have AC but never got hot due to the large ceiling fan in our room The huts looked authentic and took you back in time The back porch had a dining room table and 6 chairs. It faced all the other huts (the front doors are in the back) so you could drink your morning coffee and people watch, talk to the chickens or just take in the whole "hut life" vibe. Great place for us ladies to do your makeup in natural light too. You could use the pool whenever (unlike the hotel we stayed at prior, who shut theirs down at 6 pm) They have beach towels to borrow They have free parking which was convenient since we'd rented 2 cars (the hotel is on the opposite side of the island as the ferry) The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions and their English was good (which just made it easier for us)
