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 ZealandBure’s were lovely, nice setting and very clean. Some staff were great but others may benefit from additional training. Bar and food offerings limited by what was available at the time so may be useful to condense menus to make it easier as seems often running out of ingredients. Pool is lovely but pool bathroom/showers need significant work. Also available gear (eg snorkelling) is mostly broken and/or useless and very limited number which is disappointing if don’t have your own.

The beach could have been better if seaweed and Litter coming from the ocean would have been Cleaned 3. For $12.50 coffee could have been better as well As food for $55 or$60

South KoreaThere were two issues. The first was during the breakfast buffet when birds were eating from the serving spoons. I think there could be some way of preventing this. The second was during our check-in. The staff should advise people not to arrive before the afternoon as the rooms may not be ready and there is nowhere comfortable with air conditioning to wait. Rooms do however have air conditioning.
The room was very nice and right on the water. There were plenty of activities included during the day that did not cost extra and the local Fijian dishes on their menu were excellent.

New ZealandCommunal toilets needs an upgrade and some of the snorkeling gear. I'm sorry but the spa therapist should be on time on her appointments. We were advised to be on time but unfortunately she was not, my husband waited 20 mins outside in the shade but it was a really hot day. One customer before me left. Next time please get someone to advise clients if the appointment is going to be late.
beach and the location of the bar was great. Our bure right by the beach was excellent, we loved the privacy. Wifi was hit and miss on where our bure was. But we didn't really need wifi, we just wanted to be away from the outside noise (internet) which was perfect for us.

CanadaThe food was ok, but the concept of all inclusive «not realy all inclusive » was a deception. The team was very polite but kind of stressed and that contrasted with the so beautiful and peaceful setting. Worth every pennies.
Amazing location, snorkling paradize, very clean ( but the commun areas were dated) and we loved our little cabans on the beach.

United KingdomUnfortunately the restaurant is expensive & sub-par which is unfortunate as it’s the one and only option if you want to eat all during your stay! For the price of the meals compared to what you get is disappointing, an example would be the quesadillas are 90% wrap 5% salad 5% meat (they are very empty). Additionally to the restaurant the wait times are absurd, we understand ‘Fiji time’ but this is another level, we would wait 60-90 minutes per meal on average. The wait times appear to be a mixture of slow service from some of the restaurant staff mixed with a tiny tiny kitchen with 1 chef. From what I understand they are going to be renovating the kitchen in the near future to speed things up, but until then, make sure you pre-order food for earlier than you want it. If you have an activity at 2pm then order lunch for 12 and you should be ok lol. As mentioned in the good parts, cleanliness of the room was amazing, marked down overall score a little due to the communal toilet block by the pool being a bit unsanitary, as well as glasses etc in the restaurant were always rather dirty & sometimes even smelt of juice when you only had water in them.
Sammy & a few other staff were amazing, they were extremely friendly & welcoming, always there to help & check in on us. The beachfront bure was beautiful, we had one of the new build ones & it was furnished very nicely & it was extremely clean, the views from the room are to die for. They have a daily board of activities which is a nice touch, some free & some reasonable price & some are far too expensive for what they are. The lady in the spa was really lovely and caring & provided great massage services!

AustraliaUnfortunately their boat wasn’t working the whole duration of our stay so we couldn’t do any off island activities. Service also ran on Fiji time, which was fine for the most part but sometimes they seemed understaffed, especially at the bar during happy hour. Otherwise we had no issues!
We had an amazing stay at Serenity. The rooms were comfortable, modern and clean. Staff were beautiful, always saying hello and up for a chat. We happened to be there for my birthday and the whole staff sang me happy birthday which was really special! The island itself is stunning and the snorkelling was great. It’s also quiet enough that sometimes you feel like you’re on a private island. Not to mention they had baby turtles while we were there. All up, a lovely and memorable holiday
