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.).

We went to Tawali to have some family time with our young children and it was worth it. Away from the city and we were able to enjoy swimming in the sea, kayaking and just having the kids really enjoy themselves.

AustraliaThe breakfasts are a bit expensive if you’re not a big eater.
Tawali is a fantastic resort for divers, snorkeling and travellers who just want to relax in a beautiful setting. The staff are amazing and the buffet style dinner experiences were 5 star: freshly caught seafood cooked to perfection. October, November, December is the best time for divers, but I recommend Tawali for a holiday any time. Will definitely come back.

Papua New GuineaThe food was all Buffet type. We didn’t have the choose to choose whatever we wanted from the manu, during the entire stay. That was the only down side.
The food was great, the staff where friendly and assisted us I whatever we wanted to do during our stay at the resort. There rooms where spacious and all amenities. The rooms with Balcony where we stayed had Majestic views of the bay. So many tour and adventures to choose from according to our budget and diving, snorkeling and kayaking gears were available to choose from.

Papua New GuineaNot suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Best to be aware that medical support is 2 hours away in Alatou. Tawali is only accessible by boat.
Given its remote location, we were delighted with the Tawali’s amenities. The food was excellent, the activities well organised and throughly enjoyable. Diving and snorkelling were amazing. We were a 6 person 3 generation travelling group. The accommodation in the Ocean Villa was ideal and in a magically setting.

United KingdomWeird vibe. Buffet food was fine but not what we would’ve chosen. Some of the pricing felt a bit steep. For example we were charged the same for a short transfer to East Cape as we were to be picked up from the airport. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it was the most expensive place we stayed in PNG but not our favourite.
Nice room with a great view. The pool was a great place to cool off and we enjoyed the snorkelling.

New ZealandThe manager was also the dive instructor. Despite this, she didn’t seem to want to go diving! I have dived before, but only discover scuba, so would need an instructor with me. She said she was too busy to come so I would have to settle for snorkel. There were only 4 guests at the resort. At dinner, another guest who was a certified dive instructor very kindly offered to move his dive to a shallower dive and be my instructor. The lady rejected this. I found it very frustrating - I was at a dive resort wanting to go diving but the only dive instructor said she was too busy to go diving. Maybe she shouldn’t be the dive instructor and the resort manager. The other staff at the respite and on the boat were absolutely lovely.
it was a stunning location and all of the local staff were lovely
