Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

JapanThe lady in the shop that sells the ticket for Bula bus was noticably rude. She kinda of throwing back the change and receipt to me. When l asked her why she treats me the customer like that, she answered me that "l'm sick." I couldn't believe my ears!!!???!!! I was told by another guests that she has experienced the same treatment while l was bringing the incident up at the front desk. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Most of the staff are helpful and understanding.

AustraliaWifi was the worst internet I have ever experienced at any hotel Had to pay 3% surcharge on any credit card purchase. Even the booking fee Food or drink orders took ages to be delivered We booked one of hotel’s restaurants for our 10th anniversary dinner. They specifically asked us if it was a special occasion. But on seems they did not even care at the night of booking. Not even a dessert or something. Or a special table. As if we’re just there to eat dinner. So disappointing

AustraliaThe only thing that is a little hard is that the restaurants and experiences that the resort offers are expensive. However, is to be expected, the Koro restaurant food wasn't great but the other one was fantastic
Staff are obviously fantastic; they are very welcoming and ready to help. Breakfast was lovely and the Asian restaurant was fantastic, and all the restaurants have beautiful views. Pools are great right on the beach and the resort offers buggy's to take you from one end to another which is great in the Fiji heat.

CanadaIt didn’t bother our family but the property is long so depending on the location of your room you may walk a lot or need to wait for the Bula bus to drive you. We found the walking pleasant and relaxing but some people may want to request a room closer to front desk area to avoid lots of walking.

AustraliaThe room had footprints on a big manhole above the bath, and the extra bed that was made up in the room was right beside the front door with light and noise coming in. There was also a marked, fake wall beside the bed which was weird and unattractive. The pillows were great but my bed was so saggy. I had a poor sleep, which was disappointing after 5 nights of divine sleep at our previous holiday accommodation. The communication with reservations prior to leaving Australia was quite poor. I wanted to sort everything out before I left but their responses were very slow, I had to contact them a few times. Then they were texting me when I was in Fiji and didn’t have the ability to text back. I also made arrangements with reception for our departure when I checked in, and I later got a text asking about my departure plans. That made me concerned we wouldn’t get picked up at 5:30am the next morning. Fortunately our departure worked out as planned.
The pools, restaurants and facilities spread out over 2km with a beach backdrop is quite impressive. Fortunately they gave us lifts in golf carts to and from reception as we had an early flight departure. The ambience, drinks, meals and service at the adults-only restaurant were good, although they did overcharge us (and fixed the error once pointed out). This was a very different experience to the two other hotels/resorts we had stayed at on this trip. I can imagine people have a fantastic holiday here but I felt it really lacked the Fiji magic, was a bit too commercialised for my personal taste. They had a busy schedule of activities but unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to experience any of them. It was just an overnight stay for us and what I loved the most was the Fiji Airways check-in counter for our early departure. We were able to check in our luggage at reception and didn’t see them again until we collected them in Australia. That was brilliant - Vinaka vakalevu!

New ZealandFor the cost the rooms ( I needed to change rooms at one stage ) both were a little dated for the cost and are starting to need an update/ refurbish.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff , nothing was ever too much , exceptional service provided by everyone I interacted with. Although I felt my room needed a little bit of refurbishment the room itself was comfortable and cool ( it was very hot when I stayed) and had all the basics. Breakfast was plentiful and there was a wide choice to suit all palates. I also ate at the Asian restaurant onsite and had a great meal there with friends - our waitress was fantastic that night. As I was attending a conference I didn’t get to truly explore the facilities but I gathered from friends also staying there that the spa and massage was well worth a visit…

New ZealandI didn't appreciate not knowing that upon arrival I had to pay 200 per night upfront of $1000 for them to take instantly and gave me the impression anything I brought from the resort would come off that. But when I checked out that wasn't the case, I then had to pay upfront a further 650 plus 3% surcharge for everything that was charged to the room and now I have to wait up to 30 days to get my $1000 back. This was never disclosed when booking this resort.
Breakfast exceeded my expectations. The staff went above and beyond.

CanadaThe bath was a nuisance with a central tap into the middle that got in the way all the time. The Internet connection was a nuisance requiring logging on to 'Hilton Honours'. It disrupted my international call on arrival
The location and facilities were excellent. As a more 'up-market' hotel things were a it more expensive than I would like compared to other hotels in the area, but there was less to worry about. It was an easy hot walk to Port Denaru where shops, money change, and boat tours depart. I was particularly happy to take a shower some hours after checkout before I got on the 10 hour plane trip home
