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.).

New ZealandI want to say nothing because overall this is true. But if there was one thing, next time I would ask for a different room, as we were in the beach front room that was right next to the restaurant kitchen which did get a bit noisy. However it was pretty much quiet by 9.30pm
Beautiful location and the beach front rooms have a great view of the pool area and ocean. Loved the varied options of the beach front and pool area furniture! Infinity pool was lovely, and the tropical gardens are so well maintained. Room was perfect with a super comfortable bed. And loved the sand floor restaurant, which is right next to the pool area, so easy to order a poolside cocktail :-) Also loved the fact that the resort is not too large so it had a low key relaxing atmosphere.

AustraliaUnfortunately the restaurant which is not run by the resort, is underwhelming. With a little tweaking and a bit more customer service it would be great!

United KingdomThe continental breakfast included was very basic and lacked variety. Also, the music played in the restaurant really killed the vibe of the place. The loud pop music was a bit annoying whilst trying to relax by the pool.
Great location to watch the sunset and whales. Comfortable rooms and good amenities. Really liked the outdoor shower. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

New ZealandWifi is really important to stay connected and it's pretty much non existent in the room or restaurant. It was included as 'free' but I would have paid extra for it to get something reliable. I had to buy roaming packs for my NZ mobile. Wifi was a key factor when choosing the accommodation and this doesn't have it.
Location was great, cabin was clean and functional. Very good restaurant.

New ZealandThis resort is absolutely amazing. The gardens are just beautiful. It is private and peaceful. Because its an adult only resort it is so relaxing and peaceful. The pool is so lovely with a perfect temperature. The view is so beautiful looking out to sea with the white sand. We just didn't want to leave this place. The seating on the beach and pool is so comfortable and always available. The staff were incredibly helpful. We always had fresh beach towels everyday. The restaurant had delicious food and we always manged to get a table every night for dinner. I can't recommend this resort enough. We can't wait to go back.

New ZealandBreakfast was ok, but we didn't find out until a few days after we arrived there was an option to order barista coffees and cooked breakfast options (at an additional cost of course). Transfer driver to the airport at end of our stay was pretty unfriendly
Good location, Buffet BBQ and fire dancing was on the night we arrived and the resort reserved a table for us which was great. We reserved the 2bed/2bath apartment which was perfect for our needs and very well equipped.
