How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at this Makai. The people are truly great and cheerful, which made the atmosphere very welcoming. A special mention goes to the reception team—they were especially friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their positive energy really set the tone for my entire visit. Highly recommended for anyone who values excellent service and warm hospitality!

Verified reviewMakai is a beach resort hotel, and as such the beach was actually really nice. It's not busy, the water is a gorgeous blue color, and there's plenty of umbrellas to sit/lie down at on the beach. There is also a lovely pool, with a similarly nice seating. There is staff on hand to bring you food and drinks that you can order.
Unfortunately, while the beach and pool were nice, the rest of the experience was bad. Firstly, after the first night, a terrible smell started coming form our bathroom. We promptly reported this to the hotel, and they sent an employee to fix the problem. This fixed it for some time, but it came back soon after. When we reported it again, they again sent an employee to fix it. At this point we realized the employee isn't really doing much, he's just dumping a bunch of soap down the drain so it smells better temporarily. This repeated another 2 times (4 times total), and the smell did not leave our room for the entirety of the 3 night stay for us. This is unacceptable for a 5-star resort at this price point, and we should have immediately been moved to another vacant room. The next big problem was the towels we were provided for the pool and the beach. These were dirty and stained, again unacceptable for a 5-star experience. At some point I went with the staff to the towel room, and we went through 5 towels together, each one dirty before a settled for the least stained option. Not a good experience. There were other, less big issues: - There is still construction around, and the path to the resort is hidden through a literal construction site. This makes it difficult to exit the hotel to go get food for instance. - The food available on-site is mediocre, and slow. They take 50mins to prepare your food, cancel orders randomly, charge a fixed service fee of 12% even though the service isn't good. But they run a monopoly. The free breakfast comes with cold bread and many annoying flies. - This is a matter of preference, but for me the place was a bit too empty. I don't want an overcrowded beach, but having only 1 or 2 other people is also a little sad for me. But the beach experience was still very very good. Finally, we were offered some compensation for the bad experience, but this also ended up being a very slow problem with many hurdles.

Verified reviewWe stayed here for 2 nights around our wedding, and it was truly special. On the first night we had two separate rooms, and on the second night, after the wedding, we moved into the same room. The staff were extremely understanding and accommodating of our situation, which meant a lot to us during such an important time. The place itself is beautiful, comfortable, and well-kept, but what really stood out was the kindness and helpfulness of the team. They went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and memorable. We’ll always remember this stay fondly, and we highly recommend this place to couples looking for comfort and thoughtful service.

Verified reviewThe location , the sea & the clean air
The hotel was a construction site noise day & night workers building something wandering around no privacy. Only 1 cafe not enclosed no AC & flies are every where over the food & inside the rooms. Main access road & drop off were under construction. My car got covered with construction dust all the time so our clothes as well. My wife expensive sun glasses fendi usd 500 price was stolen while we swam in the pool. No cctv cameras operating in this area & no security looking after our belongings The pool was not clean & I picked up ear infection. This was frustrating. Nearest shopping was like 30 km away & so is the gas station I had to drive on flat tyre to get there. No facilities at all in the hotel. If you wish to eat in your room to enjoy ac & avoid flies the meal price is 1.5 what you get in the open cafe called tant. I could not park my car in front of my room while other guest were allowed to do so , no execuse given when I complained that all guests should be treated equalky.
