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 AmericaRoad noise but being next to a road it is expected. We slept in the back bedroom and barely heard it. but I would imagine the front bedrooms may be noiser. They did provide earplugs if needed and white noise machines in room.
The house Reminded me of simpler times and old school charm from when I was much younger . The house was very nice it was like a step back in time from the window seat bench to the French doors entrance foyer and the roomy atmosphere it was very relaxing. The kitchen and living areas where all large enough for a big family to be comfortable and not cramped. The host was very responsive to our requests and provided plenty of food, shopping and attraction options in the area. We did not use the grill or the laundry appliances but it was great to know they was available if needed . Will definitely book here again . The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and tea and coffee options large refrigerator and kitchen table was also a major plus

SwitzerlandThe flat was big and bright. Full equipped kitchen. It was the perfect location to explore the big Island. We would stay there again. Communication was easy and they answered nearly immediately. Good recommendations where to eat and what to do

United States of AmericaThe shower was very hard to shower in. The water pressure is non existent. Would be helpful to have a handheld shower head to help water go where you need it most. The shower is very small even for short and slim individuals. The bottom neighbors are very intolerant of any noise. My toddler ran across the floor ONCE in the morning they started banging on their ceiling. Would be good to put in some more floor insulation to help with noise reduction.
The property was clean and very comfortable. The rugs and linens were very soft and comfortable.

United States of AmericaFor us this property was a 9 out of 10 EXCEPT for the noise factor coming primarily from the busy road the home is located on. There was also noise from “whistling frogs”..(I liked it but my friend not so much). In fairness, the owner provides ear plugs, sound machines, and both A/C and fans to lessen the volume of the traffic. This might help for some but we didn’t get much sleep. If you’re a heavy sleeper this is a great place. If it was located in a quieter area I’d give it a 9/10 rating.
The property was spacious, clean, and the type of home I’d lived in back in 1958 as a young boy in Honolulu. It’s an old plantation style home from the 1920’s with plenty of old time charm. The rooms are all good size and the beds are very comfortable. There are lots of windows and so there is lots of light and cross ventilation. The bedrooms all equipped with a/c.

United States of AmericaThe coffee pot only brewed a max of 5 cups and we could only toast 1 piece of toast at a time which made it hard for serving breakfast for 6 people. Although this is great for getting places, it is located on a busy road with some loud traffic. We also had to be extremely cautious after 9pm about noise. The neighbors in the lower unit asked us to be quiet when we got home at 9:30 and were talking in a normal voices. I would not recommend this for someone that plans to hangout at the place beyond sleeping, especially if you stay up after 9pm.
This is a great place to sleep and the location in hilo is easy to get to places. The beds are comfortable. The hosts gave great recommendations on things to do when we arrived and responded quickly to our questions. The bedrooms had AC units so sleeping was comfortable.
