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 AmericaFacility is very old and not enough lighting in the room.
Good location. It is close to beach and many restaurants. It makes us feel safe. Our room is facing the sea with a balcony, the view is really good.

United States of AmericaThe facility is a bit tired. Nothing major but could use a spruce up. The room was very clean but did lack that luxury hotel feel that I always love. The hotel next door has been abandoned and is in rough shape. Kind of spooky. Our check-in process was less than ideal. The woman checking us in was seriously grumpy. Didn’t say much and never smiled… not once. We didn’t feel very welcome upon arriving. The continental breakfast offered is not great- Luckily the restaurant serves a very good breakfast!
The VIEW- Fantastic!! A great location that was walkable to Coconut Island which has a few tiny beaches, turtle watching, and the super fun jumping rock. Also walkable to the large beach where you can watch the row clubs do their thing. The restaurant downstairs had very good food and is open late which is a bonus as Hilo closes up pretty early. Wait staff in the restaurant was great! Super efficient and so friendly!

CanadaShortage of parking stalls once the hotel is filled up. One girl running crazy trying to greet guests, hand out containers, keep the breakfast stocked, and run the bar…on one of the busiest times..hello!!
The ocean front room we had was fabulous. Fast efficient elevators. Reliable wi-fi. Nice to grab some breakfast in the morning.

United States of AmericaParking at the hotel is not great! We had to go around couple of times to find a parking. It looks like your employees park their cars at the hotel parking. Parking at the hotel up and down SHOULD only be for people that are actually paying for the rooms at the hotel. VERY DISAPPOINTED with the parking only!!!!

New ZealandBuilding maintenance meant there was construction noise during the day. Corridors smelt a bit musty. At night-time there are a few homeless people and it is quite dark.
Beautiful view from the lanai. Pretty gardens and nice restaurants nearby. Large room. Frogs, birds, turtles, eagle ray close by. Breakfast is good value and welcome cocktails a nice touch.

United States of AmericaWhile the room was clean and the staff was very friendly, the hotel could use some updating inside and out. The carpet in the hallway and the room was a bit old. The outside of the building made it seem older but the rooms were fine.
The view was great. If you can get an ocean front room on floors 6-8 you won't be disappointed with the view. The hotel was close to Mauna Kea, the Volcano National Park, the zoo, and many other attractions on the Hilo side of the Big Island. There also were many great beach parks nearby that were good for seeing fish and sea turtles. We loved the little convenience store right outside the hotel and Coconut Island.

Location was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. I got everything I requested when booking. Food was great. Within walking distance to the beautiful Liliuokalani Gardens, and Coconut Island. Property felt safe and clean.
