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.).

AustraliaStunning boutique hotel with direct access to a private beach within a few strokes from the reef. The staff are amazing and very caring. Great food with daily fresh fish and homegrown fruits and veggies. A must for travellers looking for a beautiful and quiet ecolodge with a limited number of guests and guaranteed privacy. The best place to stay in Taveuni, looking forward to going back.

The staff are excellent. Sarah, Biu, and Flori were so kind and helpful. Having the bure with A/C was a must for being there during the hot season. The food was incredible. Great snorkeling off the beach out at the little islands

AustraliaEverything was perfect
We stayed in many places in Fiji and Coconut Grove provided the best most delicious high quality food made with love. The service is the most genuine and friendliest you will find in Fiji. We are very happy we made the choice to stay here and get married in this amazing location. Thank you beautiful ladies and team for giving us the most memorable day and going above and beyond to make our day very special. We loved our Banana and Coconut wedding cake, the incredible flower arrangements and the many activities we enjoyed with beautiful packed lunches during our stay. Outstanding. Vinaka!

United KingdomOn a few occasions it was mentioned that due to us booking through booking.com we didn't have access to things or had to pay an additional fee (for example use of the kayak and snorkeling equipment) This made it feel like a two tier system and made us feel uncomfortable. Poor lighting in the room made it difficult to see and do anything in the evening. Intermittent hot water in the room was poor.
Incredible location, on a private beach which you had a view of from your room. Very easy to get to from the airport! There are only 3 cottages on the property so felt incredibly private. Fantastic food available on site, we opted for the meal plan which was very convenient and tasty! Staff were very helpful (Reeta and Sarah were amazing - thank you!). Was a beautiful stay on Taveuni, would recommend a visit to anyone coming to Fiji.

AustraliaThe outdoor shower was a bit temperamental for hot water.
The beach front Bure had amazing views and was comfortable. We added the food package and so glad we did. The food was wonderful and plentiful! We had fish, meat, Fiji and curry dishes throughout our stay for dinner. The steak and lamb were lovely and the butter chicken great. I loved the banana bread and fruit platters at breakfast.

AustraliaIn our villa, there was no aircon which we were aware of but it was rather warm. Kayaks were at an additional cost to our booking.
The service and the friendliness of the staff were fantastic. It is a small boutique place so only a few guests. They could organise any day plans for us like a trip to the falls and snorkeling. It is close to the airport and only a short walk to the supermarket and local homemade ice cream store. You can snorkel close to the accommodation and also have massages on site. Try the vegetarian ravioli it was amazing at the in-house restaurant.

United StatesWe liked everything about the property/experience.
Oceanfront location with proximity to other services if needed (grocery store, airport, other resort restaurants). Small number of guest cottages/guests on site. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We appreciated all of the information provided before we arrived to insure a comfortable and pleasant experience. Excellent snorkeling within a short boat ride from the property.
