Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United States of AmericaCan't think of anything negative to mention. I enjoyed Lynn's for the first time.
Breakfast was delicious. Fresh fruits and hot beverages. The staff were welcoming and warm. They have a swimming pool but didn't get to utilize it. I also love Lynn's Supermarket by the road. Convenience at its best. Fa'afetai lava.

New ZealandMaybe the loud roosters every morning, but they gave it all the island experience so there was nothing to complain about 🤍
We were there for a girls trip for our friends wedding, found this location by accident & it was the perfect size for 4 of us 🤍 aircon was a treat after a busy day out and we had a balcony which was convenient for us to sit and chill out in the shade after being out all day.

New ZealandMore like what they can improve? Maybe have more towels readily available everyday. In saying that, we asked and the staff moved to accommodate us. For our non speaking Samoans, just ask. Whatever you need, just ask the staff - they want to help.
We loved it at Lynns Gateway Hotel. The rooms were spacious, and the bathrooms were in reasonable condition - very spacious. We were in one of the family rooms. The neccessities outweighed the aesthetics, i.e., the fridge was excellent for ensuring the drinks remained super cold, the aircon was working, beds and pillows were comfortable, and for townie kids like mine , the Wifi was fast and we had mulitple devices. Breakfast was simple. Too hot to eat or drink coffee for us townies.

New ZealandI liked it all.
Stayed 5 nights in total. Breakfast was plentiful and ongoing. Staff were friendly and really helpful. The main building is cool and airy, it has covered verandahs front and rear and lots of comfy chairs in the public areas. There is onsite off road parking. There is a pool onsite, a real bonus on hot days. The rooms all have screened louvred windows, a small refrigerator, an en-suite and AC. There is an associated general store next door (liquor sales) that includes a bakery, that is open till 8.30 pm and is open on Sundays which is a bonus. They make really nice bread and great pies and baked goods. There is a gas station next door as well, closed on Sunday. NB: No liquor sales in Samoa on Sunday so stock up on Saturday if thats your thing. Hotel arranged a shuttle transfer to airport, better price than a taxi.

AustraliaIt's a bit noisy, it's a busy location with some traffic (as far as Samoa is busy) and the main house is a bit noisy because of the large open areas. Also, if you expect a five star accommodation then this is not for you, book this if you value authenticity and a great atmosphere.
Friendly, helpful, caring staff. Great swimming pool, lots of space, nice and relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast with local food items and varied from day to day. Authentic and a good place to meet other guests making it not as anonymous as a hotel.

New ZealandThe pool could have been a bit cleaner; was quite a bit of debris which is understandable as it's surrounded by beautiful lush greenery however there was also quite a bit of "junk" around in the garden/pool areas and the pool swing chair has Mold also. That being said it is outside and has been for how many years.. none of these things detracted from our enjoyment & the coolness of the pool everyday
Conveniently located mere STEPS away from an ATM & small supermarket that bakes fresh goods/pastries/Savouries. Went here quite a few times in our 5 day stay to top up Milk etc or grab a snack when we were tuckered out from site seeing A café & a restaurant next door also; the restaurant is right next to the petrol station and serves delicious Masima Povi (salted lamb?) Central to Apia town (6mins drive to Apollo Movie theatre) where we watched Little Mermaid Live Action as it was a sickly hot day so nice reprieve from the heat for my toddler - we had already seen it but it was so much better watching in a small island location as EVERYONE was laughing at all the little jokes/quirks throughout the movie which helped us enjoy it more than the 1st time we watched it back home lol Laundry service available at a reasonable price which was amazing during our busy week. Some of the clothes i still haven't worn since having them washed (3 weeks ago) but they still smell ✨️DIVINE✨️ Breakfast was fresh every morning and delicious! Nice variety, usually an assortment of pancakes/eggs/siamu popo (coconut jam) fresh fruit; papaya/bananas/oranges/coconut/ omelette depending on the day The staff were so lovely & hospitable. We felt like we were truly at home at Lynns Getaway, the room was spacious, clean & comfortable ... my 2 year old daughter had plenty of room to run circles around me with her last bit of energy from the day which helped her sleep even more soundly in the comfy beds 🥰 We came here after a 2 day stint @ Alec's Hotel (about 50m down the road) which I do not recommend if you value cleanliness. The air-conditioning made all of us cough/feel sickly.

United States of AmericaNot a thing here disappointed me, and I'll be sure to stay at Lynn's again next time I'm in Apia.
I arrived on a redeye from Brisbane, and beyond organizing a transfer, the staff were welcoming and had the room prepared for a nap and breakfast thereafter. The place itself is in a quiet location about thirty minutes on foot from the downtown area and boasts lots of comfortable places to sit, relax and read.
