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.).

AustraliaFor the price, the facilities are a little tired. The hotel is about 25 minutes from Denuru which meant we dined in a lot rather than exploring local restaurants.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Each morning at breakfast they remember your name which is a nice touch. The staff helpfully organised a last minute tour. Pool area is lovely and includes a pool bar. Outdoor massage was excellent.

New ZealandJust wish there was more tv channel options, but that’s about the only thing.
Everything was amazing, but just the island itself was breathtaking. We loved the room, the food (especially breakfast buffet), the pool and most importantly the staff. Literally the best staff ever, we love how welcoming they were 24/7 !!!

AustraliaShame our final memory was the terrible taxi service from the resort to the airport booked through the hotel (not worth F$65). The car was unsafe and unroadworthy. The back door didn’t close properly, the internal panels had fallen off, the air conditioning didn’t work & windows were broken & didn’t open. Would not suggest booking through the resort.
- friendly and attentive staff - lovely sunsets over the beach - enjoyed the swim up bar - lovely novelty catching the boat to and from the resort - enjoyed pancakes with breakfast

CanadaProperty is a bit dated and worn, but still okay by my standards. Cleanliness was okay, but housekeeping was pretty much nonexistent. Food was just okay, not great, but not bad. Loud Christmas music everyday at breakfast was a bit too much!
Nice property, staff were exceptional, very friendly. Stayed in the waterfront bungalow, a must at this resort.

United KingdomThe food, especially the a la Carte menu was not good and way too expensive for what you got. We waited over 1hr30 for a dinner one night when the pizza/pasta night was on, we only ordered 1 burger and 1 crumbed chicken breast which took a very long time. Housekeeping didn’t come daily and when they did they did random things!!
The staff were friendly and welcoming

AustraliaFood options were good. Buffets were bountiful with plenty of options. Only issue was having an additional food option for dinner. One night we weren't interested in the buffet and couldn't get a seating at the other restaurant. We asked if we could order from the room service menu and eat by the pool but were told we could only order that and eat it in the room. Also the pool towels smelled damp like they had not been washed properly.
Fantastic location and facilities for a family getaway. Had a fantastic stay.

AustraliaI found the room we stayed in was very outdated and minimal lighting at night. Being part of the Hilton group I was expecting more for the high price we paid.
The Staff were amazing. I left an item at the property and only realised when o got home. I communicated with the property to advise o will pay postage to return the item which I received this week. Thank you to Serona for organising. The pool area was fantastic however get in quick for a day bed. Massage was lovely over looking the water. Very relaxing.
