Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe walk from the parking area to the studio was a little far for us. There were tiny little ants that visited us from the outdoors. There was a TV in the room, but no reception or hookup to cable.
Very clean and very quiet. We liked that it had a little kitchenette with a coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave. There were plants all around the building that created a forestry atmosphere.

United States of AmericaThere is only one bathroom for the 4 rooms. It could be 6-7 people for one toilet. That's the only con I can think of. But on the other side they provide you with all bathroom utilities and extra towels and kitchenware.
This property does totally the job. It is like being at a relatives house or visiting a friend. The personal of the house is outstanding, always happy to help, always smiling and doing their best to keep the place up to date.

The bed is comfortable, and the balcony has a pretty view of the sunset in morning, it was overall a nice stay. The walls are thin so you can hear through them, but it was not an issue during our stay because the other travelers who were also renting a room were quiet and respectful.

United States of AmericaWell, we didn't know how rainy Hilo would be. Nothing to do with the property itself of course. There was an ant issue in the house, very tiny ants pretty much everywhere. I know it is hard to battle those things in a climate like this. It didn't really bother us but might be a no-go for some people.
The house was large, nice kitchen with everything you needed. We had the master bedroom with a private bathroom which was great. It is a large room and comfortable. Water was hot and had good pressure. Had a private little fridge. Diana the owner was available, nice, and helpful. Check in easy.

United States of AmericaThe host warned that there were ants, and she wasn't kidding! Heed her advice and put everything in airtight containers—just clipping a bag shut wasn't good enough.
Such a nice place, in a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. I loved the variety of fresh, exotic fruits available for breakfast—the host grows them right on the property. One night she even offered us homemade breadfruit chips.

Dianna was a great host and surprised us and made a delicious banana oatmeal breakfast for 2 of our 4 night stay. We enjoyed very much the conversations with Dianna and many of the other houseguests in our shared space. It was a great experience!
