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.).

New ZealandRight in the heart of Port Villa,near shops and banks and market. Beautiful location overlooking the harbour. Great size balcony. Rooms have been renovated and modern. View is breath taking at night and during the day. We paid for buffet breakfast which is good value.

Hong KongThe place was very run down and part of it was being refurbished causing some noise. There was lack of toiletries and no bottled water
It was in centre of Port Vila and next to the market, but there was not a lot of interest.

AustraliaOur room needed a makeover; lots of disruptions due to ongoing work in the hotel; sliding balcony doors are too heavy; if you're going to pay for the premium room ask for the ones closest to Iririki Island; meals in restaurant were overpriced as were drinks at bar; casino was small and very smoky.
Location was excellent, right on the edge of downtown; too expensive for what you got; next door to free ferry to Iririki Island. Staff were very helpful.

AustraliaWe ended up on a smoking floor with a room that had mini child size beds. It was a booking made several months prior to travel. So not a last minute thing. The doors between us and the adjoining room were both unlocked. We had a TV but no remote control. It was a disappointing start to our return trip to Vanuatu. A country that my sister and I had lived in with our parents from 1977 for 13 years.
The location is perfect and in the middle of town. The breakfast was also good.

AustraliaUnfortunately there was an incident the day before I checked out. The cleaning staff and their manager Dora would not give me soap because the cleaner Evelyn went through my draws and found soap I collect to donate to the locals. It is a breach of my privacy but according to Dora and Evelyn it is the policy of this hotel to check my draws where I had my personal belongings!! I was questioned if I had soap in my draws by six of them at the reception when I requested more soap!! Very low and poor customer service and I definitely will not return to this hotel
The view from the balcony is exceptional great location
