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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaProbably brekkie could have been a little better but we realise the costs involved in transporting all products onto the island is expensive
Staff amazing and helpful. Located at lagoon so swimming and board activities were great.

United KingdomThe only reason I've given 9 instead of 10 is that the complimentary breakfast was a little disappointing, limited mainly to fruit / toast / pastries. Having said that, Koru Cafe is excellent for a cooked breakfast and is only a 5 minute walk away.
Nice resort close to the airport and in a good location on the waterfront. Clean comfortable rooms, and just a short walk along from the wharf where the lagoon cruises depart. A special mention for Robin who checked us in, who was lovely and helpful and made lots of effort for us (booking restaurants, taxis, cruises etc). You can hire scooters at Ranganuis which is just a couple of minutes walk away.

AustraliaNot much you could complain about. But I do wish they had a microwave and a better teapot in the room. But other than that, everything was fine.
Accommodation is situated in a beautiful location that overviews the famous lagoon of Aitutaki, staff are also very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable, They do have a restaurant/ bar across from the accommodation. However, you will need to hire some sort of transport to get around the rest island (Tupa Transport, were a great place to car hire, reasonably priced and can meet you at the airport).

AustraliaThe shower was awful in that the pressure was uneven such that it felt like you were being pricked by pins when showering. The lack of wifi except for a short distance from reception became difficult for planning trips. The breakfast inclusion was also sad. We were warned almost immediately to eat out. We highly recommend Koru Cafe which is a short walk from the property.
The location was fantastic. The beach is truly gorgeous. The restaurant on site was great for dinner. The staff were friendly.
