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

FijiIf one arrives late - there is no food in the apartment. Thus, perhaps an option for collecting groceries nearby, or having breakfast served, which would have been fantastic on the first morning. It was cash on arrival, which I was not aware of, but the hostess was flexible and helpful. As the accommodations didn't have an ATM/credit card payment facility, nor online payment, and this can be tricky if you wish to use a business card, or if you cannot draw cash locally or if you arrive late at night. So just having a little advance warning of that would have been helpful.
The balcony was great. The apartment was clean and new. The host was great and really helpful. I enjoyed my stay.

New ZealandLack of pots and pans when there was a cooktop available, lack of sharp knife for cutting things like pawpaw/coconut etc. Mentioned to host and she was very responsive and happy to assist.
Lepeka (host) made our stay - she's wonderful, very friendly and helpful and we loved getting to know her. The bed was huge and comfortable. Great to have AC for hot nights, wifi was good to keep in touch with family back home and great to have a balcony to sit outside watching the chickens & roosters next door. Good location for walking to town, supermarkets close by & range of takeaways/ street-food/ restaurants within easy walking distance.

United StatesIt seemed that the hot water was either out or just not working during my stay. I don't mind a cold shower but I know some people prefer to have hotter showers when able.
I enjoyed the location and room accomodations. Being able to wake up and look out the window and see the wrap around balcony was very nice.

United KingdomThe location of the place is about a 10 minute walk to the sea front and a 15 minute walk to the downtown area. This was fine for me during the day but in the evenings /night one would need a taxi. However I was very happy to walk to downtown during the daytime. The wifi caused a bit of a problem however the owners provided me hotspot when it was not working. They have attempted to fix this so hopefully it will be fine in the future.
The lighthouse was a well run place and the room I had was very spacious with kettle, microwave and cooker. The bathroom was also spacious. In addition there was a nice balcony with table and chairs. It was well priced and the owner was extremely helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

New ZealandPillow was a bit hard for my liking. But a small issue.
A spacious room with large and sunny balcony that was great to relax on. Good kitchen facilities for self catering. The manageress, Lupeka went out of her way to ensure the stay was enjoyable. The apartments are a short walk (approx 800m) from the waterfront and centre city. Its a pleasant walk which gives you a chance to see life in Nuku Alofa way from the main street.

United StatesEverything was great.
From all the Booking places I’ve ever stayed. The owners of the Lighthouse Studio really were incredible. The host went out of way to make sure I was comfortable. They are in the top 5 most accommodating places I’ve ever stayed, and this is coming from someone that’s been to every continent and 129 countries. For what’s available on the island their place was a really, really good deal and included AC as well as free wifi. Should I ever return to Tonga, I will definitely be staying with them.

United KingdomCrazily expensive for what you get(bad value for money) - like the whole island - literally got a 2 bedroom whole apartment in Brisbane for a very similar price(far higher cost of living salaries etc...) The internet situation - didn't work at all on arrival - it randomly disconnects and isn't the fastest - many previous reviews have been saying this. - Starlink would be great to purchase It is a guesthouse room not an apartment Really poorly equipped - No cooking facilities as listed- wanted to at least be able to cook pasta Inside of the kettle is dirty
Very hospitable and accommodating host - kindly arranged drop off to and from the airport at inconvenient times Near to shops, not far from town Pretty clean and comfortable bed and seats. Helped me to do laundry
