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 AmericaMy stay at Kona Magic Honu Room was fantastic. The host, was incredibly hospitable and provided excellent communication before and during my stay. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with colorful island-inspired accents. The convenient beach access and thoughtful amenities made for a memorable Hawaiian getaway. Highly recommended!

CanadaOne of the best experiences as a holiday we ever get!!! Since the first step in you realize that is the best choice you can ever make. The host Mychelle is a wonderful person that makes you feel comfortable right away. The room and the bathroom are very clean you have clean towels also for the beach and the pool. The property is in a fabulous location walking distance from one of the best beaches of the island. If you drive to the address the host would give you the perfect advice to get there at the right parking stall and the apartment. Strongly recommend above all expectations, and I travelled a lot around the world. Can't wait to coming back 🙏🏻❤️

United States of AmericaIt is in an apartment / condo building, and there were conversations going on outside that were mildly disruptive to sleeping with the window open. We knew what it was going to be, so this was not a surprise. The large waves that have recently been pounding the Kona shoreline have taken out much of the sand, leaving smaller beaches and rockier coastline. There are very few (?any?) nearby places for breakfast or a late dinner. We drove into Kona for earlier (8:30) breakfast.
Our host kept a clean and tidy place. Our car parking spot was protected and safe. She was readily available in the days and hours prior to our arrival to answer questions about the local area. We were just there for a place to sleep and this fit the bill well. There is an open lot next to the building, and the goats were bleating while clearing the overgrowth for their dinner. It was a pleasant sound in an otherwise built up area!

CanadaThere were no negatives.
Great location and all the amenities of home. Loved having access to a kitchen and Mychelle was super welcoming and even did our laundry (which was much needed after a week on Oahu first). We had our own bathroom to use and parking was included. It was a great place to set up home base for our stay on the big island.

United States of AmericaWe are from Alaska and the Hawaii heat was a little much for us, so air conditioning would have been appreciated. There are lots of fans and the screened windows and doors were open.
Great location right across from the beach in the heart of town. Loved our hostess and her two shy feline companions. Our hostess was very accommodating and even though our room and bathroom are in her space, she was very unobtrusive and we had the run of the place, kitchen, living room and lanai. She honoured our request to check in early and offered us the use of her beach towels and shower if we wanted to go to the beach and return after our designated check out time. So sweet. The place is a little quirky, matched my hippy style with lots of happy coloured lighting. Also, there is an elevator.

Michelle went above and beyond for us. Everything was just convenient. She was very accommodating. After we checked out, she still had us borrow some of her beach stuff and let us leave our luggage. (We had an airBnb with our friends but we flew a day earlier for a cheaper flight) We chilled at the beach bec it was literally a 2 min walk from her place. Overall it was a wonderful stay! 10/10.
