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 are 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 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.).

Great location. Old Hawaii ambience. Recently refurbished. Umbrellas available. Lovely Walks on Banyan Drive and in Queen Liliuokalani Park. Nice ocean vote from front rooms.

United StatesThe doors were not super solid, so as we were poolside we did hear quite a bit of noise when people were swimming late. Fortunately, most nights people were done before 10pm so not a major impact for us.
The simplicity of the hotel, the basics like free coffee, tea and water 24/7. We loved hanging out on the lanai and the short walk to the Liliʻuokalani Gardens was great. The staff was always helpful, and we enjoyed the live music and events they offered.

GermanyThe hotel is located right next to the airport, so you can hear quite clearly the aircraft noise which is - at times - excessive. Thankfully, though, Hilo airport is rather small so there are not so many planes per day. There were some bugs in our bathroom which managed to get in through the broken window. The bathroom was relatively small and I didn't find the mattress or pillows (flat) to be very comfortable (but personal taste).
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean. There was ample parking. I really appreciated the free water, coffee, tea and other amenities. The rooms were very big and the a/c worked well. I appreciate the social responsibility aspect and approach to providing accommodation!

clean and comfortable room in a small hotel, had a lovely carp filled pond and turtles in the water just across the road. you need a car to get around as there are only a couple of restaurants within walking distance and nothing at the hotel, and most places seemed to close at 9pm.

United StatesThe room was adequate, but no better. Wash the duck droppings off the rocks and bridges in the Koi pond once in a while. You sit there, and at certain times of the day, it is all you see. Other than that, it is a really pretty place.
Facilities and common areas clean and top notch. The most helpful and friendly staff I have ever encountered in 50 tears of traveling. Every one of them. These people were almost unbelievable.

CanadaNot too much to complain about. You will hear airplanes because of the area, but that would be the same with any hotel around there. Laundry was expensive, but the washers are industrial size so you can fit a double load in.
The absolutely most wonderful staff. Free coffee, water, tea, hot chocolate 24/7. Complementary bikes and paddleboards. Yoga and other classes available in the morning. Hotel has been recently updated. The courtyard and pool are open air, which is truly lovely. We had a great stay and will go back if in Hilo.
