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.).

New ZealandNothing. Everything was perfect
Everything! The location is perfect - situated right in front of a great snorkeling spot. We swam with eagle rays right in the lagoon and saw pods of whales breaching and having a play beyond the reef. The villa is very clean and tidy and has everything we needed to feel like a 'home away from home'. Catherine is an awesome host too. We will definitely be back for our next holiday in Rarotonga

New ZealandMy elderly Mum struggled to get down and up from the beach - some steps would be great and although the beds in the second room were comfy, they were a bit small. Great for kids or little people:)
Great location - just a few minutes walk from the best snorkelling spot on the island! Very close to the beach with good snorkelling on a calm day. Catherine, the host, was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. We had everything we needed and even had the bonus of Netflix!

New ZealandThe bathroom has nice amenities which all work well however the tile grouting is missing in quite a few places, it’s clean but it’s not as nice as it could be. The two small couches are comfortable enough but a couple of extra armchairs or bean bags would be great to enable all 4 guests to have something relaxing to sit on.
We stayed in villa Tahi. Lovely clean beachfront 2 bedroom Villa with large covered deck and natural rock steps down to the beach. Views of the lagoon and reef from the lounge, main bedroom, and deck. Great snorkelling in the lagoon straight out from the villa. Down to the right is where the lagoon cruises moor their boats while guests snorkel, we swam out there and found giant clams, and even came across a turtle while snorkelling at the fruits of Rarotonga area, just a few minutes walk/swim from the villa. Night markets, convenience store, coffee shop, Vietnamese restaurant, burgers, and massage spas all within 5-20min walk from the villas. The villa has a full kitchen with crockery, utensils etc to enable self catering. Both bedrooms have aircon & fans. Filtered drinking water is provided. Catherine and staff are lovely and very prompt at responding to any requests. Loved our stay, we’d return if able.

New ZealandLeaving- it was a very relaxing place. Just a couple of little maintenance issues that would improve the experience- bathroom mirror needs replacing, no BBQ, privacy screen pole needs securing and a few more bowls platters for self catering. Which we communicated to Catherine when we left.
The location of the villa was fantastic. A lovely deck to have meals on and enjoy the view. Right on the beach with wonderful snorkelling right out the door. Felt private and there were some good grocery, takeaway and restaurants close by. Good kitchen to cook in. Nice beds. Catherine was very friendly and responsive.

NetherlandsThe first set of bed sheets had several stains. Standard check in is at 17:00, which can be quite late depending on your flight, but earlier check in might be possible upon request. The card machine was broken so we had to pay cash, which made our stay a bit more expensive due to atm and bank costs.
The location on the southeast side of Raro is luxury. The villa is more homey and not so much luxury, but spacious and mostly clean. Easily houses 4 persons. AC in the bed rooms. Great wifi, no need to get an expensive sim card. Plenty of amenities were included, including lots of drinking water. The reef in front of the villa is one of the best in Rarotonga. We saw eagle rays every day, puffer fish, a moray eel and thousands of tropical fish.
