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.).

AustraliaRoom was clean however 1st night there after some heavy rain woke in morning to leaking roof with large pool of water over floor and tv cabinet etc. (this was however attended to the next day by maintenance). Wi fi not working for the practically the entire stay (which for us trying to monitor a business back in Aus was extremely frustrating) and even after daily requests, up to 3x a day, for the IT technician to come and attend to remedy the fault (as it was only our room and the adjoining room), it was still not fixed after 5 days. Finally after 5 days of requests the problem was temporarily rectified so that we had wi fi for our 6th day before we checked out on the 7th. Balcony doors also were unable to be locked securely which was frustrating for security reasons. Unfortunately the oceanfront room was extremely noisy as well with the high wind & rough sea conditions making it difficult to sleep. We would be awake most of the night and then be falling asleep around the pool or on our tour/s during the day. Not an ideal way to spend our holiday but also obviously not necessarily the fault of the resort itself or their staff. Not sure if I would recommend an oceanfront room for a light sleeper though!
Staff were so lovely. Cafe Vila was good dining with great food. Pool area and surrounds pleasant.

ReunionThe price doesn't match with the level of service. It's not to bad, but it doesn't deserve ecstatic comments. Equipments are old and there is a lack of communication between the hotel and the restaurants.

AustraliaThe breakfast was very small, we weren’t full after. I checked in and the room view wasn’t as pictures “ocean view studio” should be a clear ocean view like how the photos were. We got moved into the correct room, the blinds didn’t work so light came in the next day. Heads up - don’t waste your money on the steaks. Didn’t even have a phone in the room how a resort should, had to use what’s app to contact. Can’t order drinks by the pool too.

AustraliaThere was nothing that we didnt like except having to come home to cold weather.
Our first time staying in Vanuatu and can't wait to go back. Buses were so easy to catch and they weren't expensive. It was great to go into town and just wander around and everybody was just so friendly. Staff were exceptional as they all interacted in a friendly and professional manner at all times. We couldve quite easily brought staff home with us to work in our hospitality venue. We felt like we were treated like a part of a family. We were always welcomed with a smile hugs and our first names which was fantastic. Choice of food could have been a bit more expansive but we never left the table hungry. Food was always lovely. Congratulations to management and team. Nothing was a problem and our questions were always answered with a smile. Can't wait till we go back next year.

AustraliaWe had a great trip! Yes, there was a rooster at silly o'clock, the ocean was a bit rough to take out kayaks due to the weather, but we made the most of it and the postives outweighed anything else, the resort can't control a rooster and unruly weather!
Nasama Resort's best feature is its staff and their beautiful customer service. The team go above and beyond to make your stay amazing. We were greeted at the front of the resort and taken to our room which I thought was a kind little touch. The room was huge, we had fresh flowers and the linen smelt like salt air and sunshine. The Wi-Fi in our room wasn't working and a team member came to our room and worked on it until it was perfect, I think he even went into town to get parts! The resort has some wear and tear from the recent cyclones however given they were only 6 months ago; the team have come together to look after their guests. Nothing is a bother for the Nasama team, they let us have a complimentary late check out as no one was checking into the room and Reception even let us exchange some of our bigger notes for small changes so we could get the bus into town. If you are expecting pool side cocktails and flashy amenities, this isn't your place. However, Nasama make up for that with the small touches – Resort cats slink around and purr when picked up, a gorgeous team member lined up my shoes and folded my pyjamas at the end of my bed, the waves can be heard as you go to sleep and the team are full of smiles and helpful suggestions. If you are looking for a genuine, authentic experience where the team members look after you, then book now.

AustraliaThe after hours service for reception was non responsive. I downloaded whatsapp to contact them (as advised), no one got back to me. We had an early check out in the morning. The wifi apparently was down due to a storm. We stayed 5 nights and it never worked but when we went to the Cafe, it worked. Weird how the cafes wifi worked but the hotel one didn't. We needed wifi for work purposes so it was a real let down when we read they had wifi at the property and then there wasn't.
Amazing beach and pool. The staff were friendly at the Cafe. They changed our towels every day which was great. We were always at the beach or pool.

AustraliaThe price of the drinks on one of the bars was quite expensive. We had breakfast included but got charged extra for the large breakfast. On the other mornings our order was lost and the next day only received half our order.
The room was big and open, the views were fantastic and the sound of ocean was very soothing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was beautiful when they didn't loose our order.

AustraliaCouldn’t really fault anything except for maybe the vertical blinds came off the hanging tracks at times - a nice thick curtain may be a better option? And maybe a chicken burger on the menu at the cafe. But that’s it!

New ZealandWe recently stayed at Nasama for the first few days of our trip to Vanuatu. The location was great being a little further out of town, but easy to get into town if needed. We only went to town to buy supplies while we were there. It’s also a short walk to other resorts if you feel like mixing it up for dinner or lunch. The snorkelling right by the resort was great, and the pool was great as well. We were lucky to get a beach side apartment with a great view and lots of privacy. Was a great start to our trip.

New ZealandThis place was a ghost town. Their website does a good job of selling a place that does not remotely resemble the what you get on arrival. Venuatu is full of such welcoming, warm people. But there were none at this place. Reception was closed. No people to welcome you. No staff just as security guard who takes you to what looks like an apartment block. Inside the room is spacious but the electrical box buzzed all night. No water in the fridge. The internet lights blinked brightly in the room. A box on the wall has a bright neon blue light that shone straight into the bed. It was so disappointing. Whoever designed this place doesn't understand hospitality. The restaurant was expensive and food worse than average. The pool was sad. This place has no heart, no soul it's a money making venture and has nothing to recommend it.
Nothing.
