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 reviewClean and comfy had a small supply of condiments in the fridge & water to drink. Hosts were friendly and very approachable. Loved the washing machine & dryer, the dip pool was a bonus, spacious & modern. A safe area with cameras and being on family land between houses was added security and still very private.

Verified reviewMy stay was absolutely outstanding! The villa was immaculately clean, spacious and comfortable - the photos are great but don't do it justice. The location is fabulous with a great beach right across the road and easy access to Muri and the south coast. The pool is such a great addition, I spent so much time in and out of it. The house has everything needed to make it home away from home, such as a full kitchen, laundry and air con. The shower is hot with great pressure and the beds are comfy. Catherine so kindly let me use the villa the whole last day before my late night flight, which was fantastic to have a base and be able to freshen up before leaving. I honestly can't rate Kaia Villa's highly enough, and already can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!
Nothing, I would be back in a heartbeat.

Verified reviewMuch nicer than a resort for us as we were active during most days and away. So nice to come back to something that felt really private and homely. A dash across the road from the beach and a walk into Muri where all the activities are based.

Verified reviewKaia Villas are tucked away up a side road, far enough away from the road to be beautifully quiet, but still close enough to walk for less than two minutes to the beach- perfection! Catherine and Tai are perfect hosts and take great pride in sharing their beautiful villas with the world.
Nothing- it couldn’t have been better!

Verified reviewSelf contained so didn’t have to eat out for every meal and could wash and dry clothes. Wifi and drinking water provided and private plunge pool was perfect, there were basic necessities provided in the pantry and fridge. Short walk down the driveway and across the road to a quiet beach, which was perfect for swimming, snorkelling and watching the sun rise. Owners were lovely and checked in on us from time to time.
Nothing, everything was perfect.

Not so much not liking but there was no microwave to warm left over food, it wasn’t a biggie but for my 7 year old it was

Verified reviewA beautiful home away from home with all the amenities needed. Airconditioning was superb and the plunge pool absolutely fantastic. Family friendly home in a nice quiet area. Kids absolutely loved it. The wifi was top notch. We'll definitely be back.
Nothing major, just a small suggestion. A ceiling fan in the living room area would be a great addition but there are 2 aircons in the bedrooms that blow through to the rest of house.
