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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

The Bungalows are super perfect - nice shaped, well styled and the entire accommodation was just perfect. The restaurant is outstanding and offers a great breakfast, super lunch and amazing dinner, with stunning ocean views. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Thanks to Rod and Kathryn and their team for this perfect start into our holiday. Hope to come back

Our stay at Aroha Taveuni was a special experience. Catherine and Rod were excellent hosts, always willing to answer questions and give us advice about what to do and where to go. The staff were wonderful -- friendly and welcoming -- and the meals were superb, cooked by the very talented chef Chris. The bures too were very well designed, comfortable and spacious with easy access to the beach and an incredible view over the Somosomo Strait -- the sunsets! We did a number of excursions from Aroha -- birdwatching, a visit to Bobbi's farm, the Lavena coastal walk, and snorkelling on the Rainbow reef -- which were all exceptional. Taveuni is truly the garden island of Fiji.

United StatesAroha is a gorgeous property, there are only 5 bures and the landscaping is impeccably kept, the pool super clean, it's quiet and relaxing. Our stay already started off amazing by the resort's owner Rod picking you up from the tiny airport after an amazing flight with the best vistas below. We had our 25 year old daughter with us and were assigned a double-guestroom that was clean, quite large and exceeded our expectations. There was even a small kitchen area with a fridge and some basic essentials, like a water cooker, glasses, etc. The outdoor shower was our favorite, the beds spacious and comfy. We looked forward every single day to our breakfast outside in the beautiful restaurant on the resort. The lunch menu is extensive and the dinner menu rotates daily with delicious choices. The owners Rod and Kathryn really take great care of their guests and made plenty of arrangements for sightseeing, taxis and massages. Aroha Resort is simply wonderful, and we could not have been more pleased with this amazing find.

The staff is very friendly and will always address you by your name, and the owners also do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Absolutely everything! Katherine and Rod take Pride in there new ownership of this resort. Beginning with the airport pick-up and continuing through each meal planned and prepared by the in-house restaurant, everything was perfect. Katherine was fantastic at helping us plan and reserve all of our local Taveuni activities from snorkeling and scuba diving the rainbow reef to waterfall hikes, birdwatching, waterslides, and so much more. If you prefer chilling at the pool and a casual kayak or paddle boarding, Aroha has you covered there also. A super comfortable and relaxing stay!

AustraliaWe just finished our honeymoon at Aroha Taveuni and honestly, it was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. The bures are super comfortable, the beds are great, the outdoor showers are awesome, and the view from the front porch amazing. It was so quiet and peaceful, we could’ve easily stayed for weeks. Kathy and Rod and all of their staff were incredible hosts, super friendly and helpful with anything we needed. It really felt like nothing was too much trouble. The food at Kai Time, the restaurant next door, was also spot on. Great variety, fresh ingredients, and the service was excellent. If you’re looking for a chill, beautiful spot to relax in Taveuni, this is it.

GermanyNOTHING. We are so sad we have to leave this beautiful place.
We booked two nights at Aroha and on the day we arrived we extended our stay because this place IS paradise. The bungalows are clean and I mean clean clean. Also the pool is probably one of the cleanest I have ever swum in. The beds are so comfy, the outdoor shower was great as you can see the stars when showering. The owners payed attention to so many details and you can just feel they put their heart into making Aroha a special place. They have a little restaurant and we went there every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every single meal was delicious (Krish the chef did an amazing job). The staff is kind and they really try to make the best out of your stay. We felt so welcomed. Aroha has new owners since the beginning of the year and they made some changes to the furniture so the bungalows were even nicer than on the pictures. Another thing is their new coffee machine, the coffee was excellent! The garden and the property are well maintained, the beach is only five steps away from the bungalows and you can see a beautiful sunset every night.

United StatesRestaurant/food could use some improvement. But they are aware and working on it. They just purchased the resort recently.
Want to get off the grid? This is your place. (They have starlink if you want to stay connected) It's remote, quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. Rod and Catherine the owners could not have been better hosts. It's a small resort only 5 rooms . There is plenty to do on the island or you can just chill in the pool. The diving and snorkeling is world class.

CanadaWe had a wonderful stay in Arona Taveuni! The property had just recently been purchased by new owners, Rod and Kathryn, who were very welcoming, and happy to offer their suggestions for activities and to assist with the bookings. The staff, whether the cooks, the housekeepers, the restaurant servers or the handyman were all lovely and seemed genuinely interested in interacting with the guests. The property, both the rooms and the grounds are very clean, tasteful, and super well maintained, and we really enjoyed having the outdoor room with some kitchen facilities. This is not the kind of hotel you go to if you wish to be close to nightlife or lots of restaurant options (there is just the restaurant at the hotel but it serves excellent food!). If like us, however, you are looking for peace and quiet and a lovely spot to relax you couldn’t do better! Also worth mentioning… We happened to get caught in Cyclone Rae the last day of our stay and Kathryn and Rod were terrific about ensuring that we had the latest information about flight cancellations, and reassured us about being able to accommodate us for the unforeseen extra night we had to spend on the island. It was also clear that the safety of their guests and staff was a top priority.

The whole place was beautiful. the Bures were amazing, and sea views from all rooms, pool and restaurant. The rooms were so comfortable and the decor so very well done. Staff were lovely and super helpful. The restaurant served really good food, with some dishes changed up every night. Kathryn and Rob were super hosts, and considering they only took the business over 7 weeks ago, I feel they have taken to it like ducks to water. I would definitely recommend a stay here. You won't be disappointed
