How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewWe really loved the inside of the villa (beautifully decorated) and the private pool. All the appliances and fixtures were new and modern. We really enjoyed the shower. Having the tropical plants outside to look at was a nice touch. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything needed to cook meals. Loved that they had kayaks and snorkeling gear for us to use.
The lack of curtains in the living room took away some of our privacy. At night, we felt that people on the beach could see in. We let the villa owners know on the review card, so hopefully they will add some window coverings. We also would have liked to have housekeeping come in more than once. We stayed 6 nights, and they only came in once to clean. They need another AC unit on the kitchen side of the villa. It gets hot in there, and the unit in the bedroom is not enough to keep the entire villa cool..even with the fans on. We were there in March, so it was hotter. Not the best part of the lagoon, but still pretty.

Verified reviewThe villa we stayed in was spacious and comfortable. The pool area had all day sun and was great for the kids. The location was good, just a short walk down the path to the beach. The kitchen and laundry facilities were convenient. The staff that we dealt with face-to-face were very friendly and helpful.
Seeing as we stayed over the Easter weekend, the service was patchy. You could tell the decorative bed cushions weren’t cleaned regularly as they smelled. The dryer didn’t work. There were ants crawling in the bathroom. The location (Muri) was very windy when we stayed so we had to drive to the airport side for a nice beach experience. It rained 50% of our stay. Overall the experience wasn’t as good as it could have been.

Verified reviewClean and spacious - enough room for 4 people and the beach access was so awesome . Staff were friendly and helpful
Pool didn’t seem to be working properly and a whole heap of chlorine was dumped in during stay so couldn’t really swim that day - otherwise was fine . Didn’t really feel like “guests” at pacific resort when we went there - service as average
