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 AmericaNothing really! Everything is so perfect!
I had the most peaceful and beautiful stay at this hotel. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous, and the view was breathtaking. What made it even better were the friendly cat and dog who added to the charm of the place. The breakfast options were delightful, with a variety of choices over the three days I stayed. It was a great way to start each day of my trip. The hotel offered a range of amenities that made my stay even more enjoyable, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Wifi and the public area are great! The rooms were not only spotlessly clean but also thoughtfully furnished with Hawaiian elements, creating a truly immersive experience. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

United States of AmericaThe drive in is along a very winding road, fun for some, but not too long.
This is the friendly, quiet B&B we all like, and with outstanding breakfasts, it's awesome. Sharon & Thomas are excellent hosts, attentive but never intrusive. Breakfasts are wonderful-lots of fruit from their property! And something hot, different every day: pastry with homemade jam, Portuguese hash, German apple pancake, etc. We spent too much time relaxing, reading, enjoying the view, the birds, and unwinding.

United States of AmericaWe missed the driveway for the inn the first time. There was a sign nearby, but it could be a little better marked.
We used the Kona Bayview Inn as our base to explore the south Kona region. Thomas and Sharon were great hosts and provided an excellent homemade breakfast each morning. And the sunset views were incredible!

They give you the best tips about spots to visit and best places to eat. Location for us was a little too far from the main Kona downtown (20 min drive) but I would still definitely stay there again.

United States of AmericaI can't think of anything to improve. However, you do need a car to get here.
Clearly, the breakfasts were outstanding. Each of our three breakfasts was completely unique from the day before; the variety of the local fruits (some grown right on the property) was amazing. Coffee was also great. Each room had some beach chairs, towels, and a small cooler to use while out for the day. Very serene and peaceful (with just three guest rooms). We would definitely return to this place the next time we're on the Big Island. This location is ten minutes from Pu'uhonua o Honaunua Natl Historic Park, adjacent to 2-Step Beach. Make sure to visit the national park and do the Coastal Trail.

United States of AmericaHaving to leave and go back to winter
The view was amazing, beautiful sunsets over the ocean flanked by palm trees. Daytime a slope to the macadamia orchard below and the pacific beyond. The location is great with the place of refuge and two step about a 5 minute drive away. Some of the best snorkeling on the island at two step and several other beaches nearby. The breakfasts were always delicious with fresh tropical fruit and juice every morning along with something extra special made by Sharon. Were there 10 days and had a different cooked item every day and all were great. There is a telescope left out to get a better look at anything seen from the 180 degree view of the ocean from its 750 foot elevation. Did see a few whales a few mornings. Thomas let us explore the macadamia orchard and we picked up pocketfulls of nuts which we brought to the common lounge area to crack and eat with the provided cracker. It was nice to be greeted by Kulani , Thomas and Sharons dog when returning after each days excursions. I was lucky enough to get some fresh marlin from a fishing trip and Thomas put out a grill and all the tools needed to cook it up when asked.We all enjoyed it family style. We couldn't have asked for a better host and hostess or place to stay.

United States of AmericaWe had to leave :-(
This is the bestest B&B we have ever stayed! Sharon and Thomas are excellent hosts. The view from the front yard is gorgeous and open. We can see the ocean and orchard directly from the front yard. The location is not far from town and beaches, but it’s far enough to avoid city light and noise. All we can hear at night is Hawaiian nature sounds. The nights were mostly cloudy so we couldn't see the stars. If we came in dry season, I'm sure the sky will be beautiful. Sharon made us excellent breakfast with local fruits from their garden every morning. We can’t ask for more. Plus, there’re 6 cute cats and 1 super friendly dog!
