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...).

New ZealandCould do with new pillows on the bed and cushions on the couch. But other then that you cant fault much.
Absolutely loved this place! Appreciated the essential food provided, was enough to make breakfast. We ate out every night but it is equipt with everything you need to cook a feast! Location was great - you do need a vehicle. They have a nice Hyundai Elite available to hire for $60 per day including insurance, if you plan on roaming the island. Just ask! Des is lovely ☺️ The beach isn’t really for swimming but it wasnt a problem as you have your own private pool at the back. The staff are fantastic! Mesake picked us up from the Airport and had our vehicle ready at the Villa. Staff came every 2nd day to service the Villa.

New ZealandThe door to the courtyard where the pool was did not lock, but no real problem
We were met at the airport by a friendly driver, who handed us the key on arriving. The villa is in a great location if you don't mind a walk into Muri. It was generally quiet when we were there. The view was great, not many passers by, comfortable accommodation and our own small pool. You also get your own gecko family visiting you!

New ZealandThe villa is great, location is great, beach and a covered deck on 1 side of the property and the private pool with a half covered half uncovered courtyard and the bbq on the other side. We saw whales every day from the deck/lounge area that was beachside.
Great property, hosts were great. Awesome location especially now that there are shops, a convenience store/bottle shop, a takeaway's (fish n chips/burgers) and the Mai'i bar which has a kitchen, swimming pool for guests, bar and shows sports when the big Ruby League/NRL games are on. There is also the Moana Sands Lagoon resort next door if you feel like going out for lunch/dinner without having to drive.

New ZealandNothing that we did not like. All was perfect.
With great friendliness and her warm personality, Sissie welcomed us and ensure that we know everything to make our stay prima. The location was excellent, on the beach and close to Muri Lagoon and the marine reserve with heaps of excellent cafes and night market within walking distance. A private little splash pool made it possible to swim at any time of the day. Everything is available in the villa. Even a bit of food supplies and mosquito repellent and sunblock. Loved the old James Bond movies. The villa is tastefully decorated.
