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.).

AustraliaWe had our rooms upgraded but the rooms we were given were newly renovated and right next to rooms that were currently being renovated so during the day, you could almost hear every bit of drilling happening next door. Our room, being a newly renovated room smelt like fresh paint and gyproc boards. We tried to air the room out by leaving the door open only to walk back in to a puddle of water caused by condensation. The staff, however, were great, attended to the room and made it good as new! Vinaka Sofitel team!
The staff are absolutely amazing and the rooms were super clean & serviced more regularly than I thought. Food was great & location was perfect, being only a short walk from the port. We were a group of friends and having the Republik bar and club right at the hotel was perfect for us!

AustraliaWe do not like that at the balcony, smokers can just hang around and smoke. They should not allow people who smoke mixed with non- smokers. We love to stay sometime at the balcony in our room during afternoon but when someone occupied the other unit beside us, we cant stay much longer due to full on cigarette smoke. We have health conditions that cannot tolerate that. Hopefully they should have rules for that.
It was beautiful and everyday has different activities for everyone like kids and adults. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Cleaners look after the room day and night. The staffs at the bar had a great customer service. They looked after us and wherever you go there are someone there looking after you. They are magnificent! We love the drinks at the bar and if you do not drink alcohol they have a lot of choices for non-alcoholic mock tails which was great!

New ZealandCons Baazar restaurant is pretty average but you expect that form a buffet. Some stuff are really nice but then some stuff and awful. recommend to go around 6pm as food goes very quickly if busy. Sounds obvious but Please bring loads of sun lotion as the sun is outrageous and I found that out the hard way. we went in the wet season and the weather was booming all week. I went 28th Feb to 5th March. Drinks are expensive and the cocktails are very average. Probably the worst cocktails I’ve had. Although we found a Malibu and Coke was our go to after we tried most of the cocktails. Waitui beach club adults only section can be a package. But you can also get a day pass for $199pp if you are not in that section of the hotel. However, to be honest I feel it’s a waste of money as you only get 1 hour free cocktails and canopies. There is no difference between the standard pool than the waitui club. Pool is that big the kids don’t affect you. This is probably the biggest mis leading thing is that when we booked our booking.com package we booked the standard room with half board including breakfast and dinner with an extra $125 FJD per day for wine food and spa. THIS DOESNT exist and is very misleading. It’s breakfast included and the $125 FJD is for your dinner bill at the end. We found this out the hard way. But again this isn’t the hotels fault and I would say it’s more booking.com for misleading information. Overall the Sofitel is a 9/10 in total. You can easily see how this is the best resort on the island. I will always strongly recommend this place.
This review may be long but please read it’s an honest review and will help you out loads. First the Pros The staff are the best you will ever get. Bai,Lai,Tracey are just a few amazing people who work at the resort. But every single person are unbelievable. Sofitel is by far the best hotel on island. We done the Bula bud that takes yiu around the Hilton, Radisson Blu etc and the Sofitel stands out from a mile. The pool is huge and super clean and so many loungers. Out of all the hotels the Sofitel has the best beach seating and bar area. Hotel is super clean. Everyday yiu will always see someone cleaning. Beautiful restaurants on site strongly recommend visit them all. Especially Solis and the Waitui restaurant and bar. Hotel rooms are a standard size but beautifully designed. The beds are so comfortable and clean. Unbelievable lobby and so impressive when you turn up. Eddie and all the greeting staff are brilliant when you first pull up. A few shops on site and my partner loved the pure Fiji brand with body creams etc. Malamala island is one of the best excursions I’ve ever done and probably the most amazing island I’ve ever seen. Please book a day bed though it’s worth it By far the highlight of the trip. Food at the solis restaurant is very good but the waitui beach club restaurant ( Adults only) was amazing and very romantic. With a beautiful sunset while having amazing wine and food.
