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.).

AustraliaLovely breakfast buffet including eggs cooked your way. Super- comfortable bed and nicely adjustable aircon gave us the sleep we needed. Good location- easy walking distance to shops, parks and restaurants. We also enjoyed the pool.

AustraliaThe hotel is a bit battered and worn, from the twin cyclones last year, so it's still undergoing repairs which is understandable. But the rooms themselves (which were not damaged) could use some update as they were quite dark and shabby looking.
The hotel is conveniently located to the location I worked from but not too far from the town centre either, ~ 10-15mins walk. The staff were superb, all so nice and accommodating. And the breakfast included was very nice.

Moorings is well located, has nice rooms and good staff. Breakfast has a good variety, and the staff are on hand to help arrange trips/tours, additional amenities, luggage storage, taxis, etc. Enjoyed our stay!

United KingdomToo ma y flies! Need some of those spinning 'shoo flies'on the tables. I thought there would be a nice sandy beach, but the little bit of sand was dirty and had broken glass on it. It would have been nice to have the light switch a d electric socket next to the bed. Service was friendly and efficient! I enjoyed the pool! The room was very clean, the bed comfortable.
The freshly cooked fish shaped pancakes were nice. Fresh fruit was good. The fruit salad too sweet. The coffee was nice

United KingdomThe WiFi connection strength varies massively across the site. Once connected the signal is fairly good (suitable for emails/light browsing), but often a challenge to get a stable connection inside the guest room.
We enjoyed our stay at Moorings - the room was clean, had good air conditioning and a comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and very quick to replace a broken light bulb, and helped us with luggage storage and taxis. Breakfast was nice with a selection of fruit, breads, and drinks. We also liked the location - easily walkable into Port Vila and good views from the pool/decking.

AustraliaMoorings is located a short walk from the main shopping strip in Port Vila town. The walk in takes about 5-10 minutes along a picturesque stretch of the bay/harbour and Waterfall Nakamal. Tana Russet shopping and cinema complex is a few minutes in the other direction. Moorings staff were always friendly and available. It was pretty quiet during my stay.

FijiThe food at the hotel wasnt really good, but with many eateries just opposite the locatiin it wasnt really a deterent.
Location was perfect. The secenic sunsets and good happy hour prices. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Walking distance to Port Vila city area with lots of eating options nearby. Pool was probably the best in the area and always clean. The deck around the prooperty gave it a real relaxing feeling.

New ZealandWifi can be slow, which made processing our credit card a little tricky. Sometimes noise was a factor, both from the road outside the resort and children in the pool inside the resort.
Loved the location: right on the water, next to the Banyan Bar for sundowners, convenient to the airport and an easy stroll along the waterfront into town. We took full advantage of the infinity pool and enjoyed the complementary tropical fruit breakfasts. The room itself was small (and the bed enormous) and while it was very simple it had everything we needed including a bar fridge, ceiling fan and air con. Staff are lovely. The property overall looks as though it's still recovering from the impacts of covid on tourism and could do with a refurb, but the price reflects that. Excellent value.

AustraliaPool was absolutely lovely but needs a grab rail at one side to help some people get in easier. I struggled and in my late 50s but there was also a couple in their 80s and it was so so hard them to get in and out
Great location Walking distance into town Lovely restaurant, bar, pool, great views. Loved the outdoor eating area. Staff fantastic, especially Lilly Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable Check out was 10am but they allowed us to stay in the room free of charge until 12 so we could use pool and then shower before leaving for airport

AustraliaBreakfast - not many options as they didnt have eggs for example as you have to order at extra cost Room service - missed cleaning our room twice even though we asked the reception to let them know. And a couple of times they wouldnt fill the coffee/sugar or put soap bars in the room. We had to constantly ask at the reception. Dinner - if you want to order food to be delivered to your room they charge extra (500 vatu)
Location is convenient. Very close to the city centre. Hotel is straight on the waters so thats a plus. Has a pool (for people that like pools) Their dinner menu was really nice and plates werent small at all

Great location and easy, level walk into town. Bus at door step, restaurants and bars very close by if not eating or drinking at the hotel. Excellent pool and was always very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only down fall would be the tropical buffet breakfast which we found to be underwhelming.
