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 ZealandGiven we stayed for 5 days we would have welcomed fresh towels halfway through - we could have asked (but we're not very good at doing that!).
We really appreciated Vaea's warm welcome and hospitality (the lei were beautiful); airport transfers included in the price; taking us to the supermarket so we could stock up on food for our holiday; and a wee tour. All email questions / communication were efficiently answered before we arrived. Any issues were swiftly dealt with.

AustraliaThanks Kii & Vaea, staying at Taiinu for our first visit to Aitutaki was everything we hoped for. Taiinu had a true island bungalow feel. We enjoyed the privacy & being only steps away from the beach. Loved jumping on the scooter to find all the little places to eat & explore the island. Vaea helped point us in the right direction for everything local. We also loved the private snorkel tour with Kii… this is a must. We hadn’t snorkelled for some time but felt safe & enjoyed every minute as Kii shared his knowledge of the lagoon with us. Can’t thank you both enough. Hope to visit again.

AustraliaNothing really.
We had a lovely time at the bungalow on the stunning island of Aitutaki. Vaea was very helpful and met us at the airport. The room has all you need but not snorkeling gear. Bed was very comfy and although the beach is not that great here for swimming being quite shallow, it is a short drive to some beautiful beaches and the Lagoon.

New ZealandCockerels take a bit of getting used to!
The host was first rate from pick up to drop off for the return flight. Fruit and full carton of milk in room on arrival were most welcome and an orientation tour was an excellent bonus. Location was great with good swimming and snorkeling a short walk along the beach. Scooter hire on site was very convenient and an excellent form of transport on the island although I would prefer helmets to be available. No dogs roaming the property was great too.

AustraliaWe were greeted at the airport by Vaea with the most fragrant flower eis placed around our necks and then transported to our beautiful little bungalow which had everything we needed for our stay (16 nights), the aircon was definitely a plus as we visited during Dec-Jan (very hot during this time) we were also greeted with a colouful array of assorted fresh fruits (which we devoured lol). The location was nice and secluded with just a short stroll down to the crystal blue waters and white sandy beach. We also booked a couple of bikes/scooters through the hosts, which is so convenient and easy to get around the island. Cannot wait to visit again 😊

New ZealandKii met us at the airport with beautiful ei's for each of us, he was so friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about the island. We saw Kii a few times during our stay, always friendly and helpful, but he was never obtrusive. The bungalow had a beautiful tropical garden setting with walk to the beach at the end of the driveway. The beach although shallow was full of fish, and the area at the end of the old runway was a short walk with very good snorkelling. Some live coral and huge variety of tropical fish to be seen there. Excellent sunset views from the beach while having takeaways from Aunty Odeez - recommend the chicken burger with island fries. We can also recommend Teking Lagoon tours if Kii's private charters are fully booked. The bungalow was very comfortable, with beautiful fresh fruit and basics provided at the start of our stay. Great to be able to have the Scooter to hire on site, this was an excellent way to see the island.

The bungalow was very clean and airy. Comfortable bed and cosy space. Covered outside seating area and garden feel. It also felt private. Extra: bungalow has a phone you can use to call hosts or even local tours and restaurant. When we arrived they had a box a fruit a carton of milk. That made all the difference to us.
