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.).

NetherlandsRooms are a bit small, lack a proper view, but fine for our stay. The hotel is located very close to the Hilo airport, but besides a few planes in the morning that didn’t bother us at all!
The hotel is very nicely set up, great common areas and a very nice pool. From the outside we may have been doubtful but the way it is set up is very nice. The rooms are small for 4 people, but we were not there to stay in the room. Some great beaches not to far away with terrific snorkeling and coconut island is only a few minutes away by free provided bikes.

NetherlandsTo be honest, the room was very small for four people. The beds are only 130cm wide, quite small for a double. Also the cleaning could have been better. The town is very outdated compared to other parts of Big Island.
The pool and common areas are really nice. The price is affordable and the location so close to the airport is great when you have an early flight.

United StatesThe bathroom needed some updating. An area of the ceiling over the shower was wet and peeling off due to moisture/ mold. The wall unit ac was also not super efficient.
The Staff and the common areas were amazing! Locations couldn’t be beat. Also lots of little “extras” in the room- like diffuser, sound machine, humidifier…

United StatesThe refrigerator in our room was very unsteady and could have fallen off the weak shelf. We had three rooms. Two were next to each other. But the third was not very close. However, that was not a big issue with us.
Staff was wonderful. We arrived early and they were very helpful in letting us drop off all our luggage there.

United KingdomQuite noisy but there were a large group of young kids - not due to the hotel. A basic tea making facility in the room is essential these days.
Located on the Banyan drive which is central and a lovely location. The room was basic but clean and smart. The Coconut Grove next door is a good place for breakfast

United StatesWe loved it here. Especially the fact that it’s an environmentally conscious and thoughtfully run place. The staff is incredibly kind and genuinely lovable. The hotel is in a great location—just outside downtown Hilo, which keeps things quieter, but still close to some lovely beaches like Coconut Beach. The rooms are spacious, the pool is beautiful, there’s a gym on-site, and they even offer free paddle boards. A really enjoyable and well-rounded stay.

SwitzerlandThe only thing was that we had a room facing the little pation where people were passing by our window so we could not open the window any time. I guess there are better situated rooms in the hozel. Other than this, we were satisfied.
The design the style as well as the service was great. We also liked the location of the hotel - despite veing very close to the airport, this did not bother us.

United States2nd room, 2 nites, checked in and bathroom sink was clogged. Had a maintenance person came at nite to unclog sink then he came also the next day since small children was in room and needed rest. Not a big deal, things happens with an older building. I Understand coming from working in the Travel industry too. ( Hskpg Mgr.-ret.)
Easy check in- easy check out! Friendly staff- clean safe property. Ease on a room move due to having 2 young children and didn’t want to carry them and articles up 3 flights of stairs. Appreciate the helps Ivonne. She was very understanding.
