Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

The resort is beautiful. It has stunning plants and flowers all around and is right on the beach. The pool area is right in the middle of the resort and set beautifully among palm trees. The staff is very nice and will do anything for you. The location is great as it's close to small shops and the night market. You can hire snorkel gear and reef shoes for free as well as kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We loved it!

Proximity to the beach and numerous restaurants. The nearby lagoon was safe and calm for water sports. Villa was large and comfortable.

AustraliaIt was a little frustrating when we couldn't simply charge our room sometimes (which is what we were told we could do upon checkin). It seemed to work sometimes and other times it wasn't possible. Not a big deal though! The hotel wifi was quite average, it was almost 'per session' so if you logged on and then stopped using it for a bit it would switch off again. When you're not at the hotel there was no roaming on the island. I would suggest purchasing a vodaphone esim online if you plan to do some work online or want to be able to contact people while you're there.
Muri Beach is a great location on the island! We were there for a wedding with a few other guests staying in hotels nearby which made catch ups easy. The resort itself is lovely, it's the sister resort of Nautilus so we used the same restaurant facilities as Nautilus guests. The staff were lovely at both locations.

New ZealandSome of the linen didn't look that clean, but then again, I've never understood why hotels use white! Furniture could be more comfortable. It was a bit of a pain having to ask for replenishment of teabags so often. Shower was very small, but bathroom itself was a good size.
The staff were very helpful. The pool. Liked that there was a washing machine we could use. Liked outdoor patio and the landscaping. Very pretty. Good to have access to the Nautilus facilities.

New ZealandWe had booked 2 two-bedroom villas and 1 one-bedroom villa and when we arrived we discovered we were in 3 apartments. Two had two bedrooms but the other had a bed in the lounge, not a bedroom as we originally thought. The apartments were showing signs of wear and tear and would benefit from a complete upgrade. However all of the family enjoyed their holiday.
The location was really great. There were many cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The family enjoyed using the kayaks and other water gear. The staff at Muri Beach Resort were very professional and helpful. The grounds around the resort were kept very tidy. We were always greeted with a friendly kiaorana.

New ZealandThe wasps. We spent a lot of time killing them and destroying nests. The house is a little tired and could do with a thorough clean. Dishwashwer is faulty. Rang it in but no one came.
It was very spacious and lots of seating areas for two families with teens. Two great bathrooms and good kitchen. Nice pool. The welcome breakfast food in the fridge was a nice and unexpected touch. Scooter hire close by. A lot of bug spray - thank you. And mosquito coils. So good.

New ZealandThere is not much difference between a lagoon view room and garden room except that one is a bit closer to the beach. Couldnt see the lagoon from the room so next time I would get a garden room.
