Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 ZealandThere was nothing that we didn't like.
It was wonderful that Harry came to check on us the day we arrived and make sure that everything was okay. That was really nice and appreciated by us all. The villa had everything we needed with plenty of room and extremely comfortable beds which is a bonus when on holiday. Great location to walk to so many things as well, with very easy access to the beach which is only a few minutes walk. Was very good having a clothes airer to use as well for drying clothes overnight. Would be very happy to stay here again when we come back.

AustraliaHad really thick, high pillows and my husband prefers a thinner pillow (very minor thing).
The location is close to the beach and local activities (Captain Tamas, Muri Night Market, Te Vara Nui, Koka Lagoon Cruises and museum). All within a 10min walk. Saw a turtle at Muri lagoon on our first day there! Great coffee at The Fix Espresso Bar just up the road. Great meal at The Sailing Club (next to Captain Tamas).

The place was like my home in Rarotonga:) it has every I needed, and the host Sian she is so nice, she gave me a late time check out, free of charge, as my flight was in very late time. It’s very cozy to stay here, close to Muri beach and easily to find the accommodation where it is

New ZealandWe don't have anything to say that we didn't like about the place or the host everything was fantastic.
The location of the property was close to most of our activities we had booked. All within walking distance. Muri is a great location.. Love the holiday home and Harry was very nice to us throughout our stay. Great hospitality would definitely like to come back to Raro and stay here again.

New ZealandThe size of the living area was really comfortable and having a laundry was a real bonus. We loved being so close to the village of Muri, we walked to the night markets and local shop for supplies. Being on the main road gave us quick access to everything we needed.
The house was a great size for us as a group. Great off street parking for our rental car and scooter. Sadly there was major roadworks right outside the front of the section. Not really too much of a problem though.

New ZealandSomething that would be useful for others with young kids to know: the garden is gorgeous and huge, but not fenced and goes right up to the road so you need to watch the kids when they're outside.
Perfect location, big spacious home, wonderful stay and great communication with the host and property manager.

United StatesThe studio unit we stayed in did not have an air con unit. This could be an issue if you run hot (like my husband). The studio had really nice screens so that you could leave the windows open to get airflow.
The location was fantastic! Right across the road from beach access. There was a 24h grocery store down the way and night market open most nights. There was a great little kitchen we could make meals it. The hosts were great-they came to check on us. It was also very close to excursion places.

New ZealandI accidentally booked the wrong check in dates (my fault re making the booking, their fault re messaging to confirming the taxi and not noticing my mistake). They were hugely apologetic, and offered to make amends , even though it was half my own fault!
Pictures as stated (of the smaller one not the larger one, both are listed and posted here so don’t get confused). Lovely fruit in the fridge. Fan provided. Comfortable bed. exactly what you need provided in a great location (everywhere is great in raro , bus service was well used). Nice and clean and sturdy and no complaints.
