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.).

United StatesThe bartender was not friendly.
The layout, activities, amenities, and staff of the resort were excellent. As a hospitality professional, I highly recommend Paradise Cove. Special shootout to the fisherman that led the handling fishing expedition. What a warm gentleman!

New ZealandAmazing location with amazing dive sites right off the beach. Plenty of incredible reefs for snorkelling and diving within 10 minutes and regular manta ray sightings in the neighbouring passage. The food at Donu was world class, using a mixture of local ingredients with premium international imports: Japanese bluefin tuna, Japanese Wagyu, beluga caviar, Spanish octopus and French sea urchin to name a few.

United KingdomBeing told by staff all the time that we should be in “Island Time”. Other guests felt the same. They need to appreciate that our time is precious and limited on this beautiful island and we don’t want to spend valuable time waiting around.
Beachfront location and the beach was magnificent. Could swim all day. Reef outside the hotel was teeming with fish.

United StatesBecause of the reef, they really didn't have any waves to speak of which left me lonesome for some body surfing. Was wishing for sailing opportunities, but failure on my part to do further research before staying. I was kind of disturb by the fact that they were asking which restaurant I was to be eating at for lunch and dinner when I just showed for breakfast. For someone trying to relax and become accustomed to "FIJI TIME", this was a bit of a downer.
All the meals that were served were very good. They had 2 restaurants, 1 conventional and 1 Asian fusion. The dinners were always multiple course meals, very tasty but not very filling. I was hoping for some sailing time, little boats that you could navigate on your own, they had kayaks, which helped. They had snorkel equipment, to visit the island reef and see the various fish. The staff were VERY friendly and genuine. Met and engaged several international visitors which is always fun.

AustraliaIt truly is paradise. Gorgeous resort, fantastic staff and wonderful food. It has 3 pools and 2 restaurants so you won't get bored, but the reef is just spectacular. You walk straight in off the beach and see thousands of fish and a vibrant reef. We saw the nurse (for a blocked ear) and she drained it and saved our holiday. We had cocktails every night on the beach watching the sunset. Beautiful place. I can't wait to go back.

New ZealandSea Lice/Jellyfish bites. Myself and kids covered in very itchy bites. Would like to have had a heads up from the resort. You must take bite cream. Bungalows 9 and 10 opposite building site. A wall has been put up but still noisy during the day. Try to avoid these. As always not enough loungers on the beach. Beach front cabanas costing $199 per day completely empty during our stay. Perhaps make it cheaper and they would get used. All staff fantastic except John the boss. Saw him a lot but not once engaging or even saying hello to people staying.
Great chilled atmosphere. Lovely friendly staff. Excellent food. Fantastic snorkeling straight off the beach.

ChinaThey should have more flexibility about mandatory three meals plan. For example, we came from a cruise ship in the evening and left next day to catch the ferry before lunch, only one breakfast would be needed. But we were still asked to pay the full price. So we chose to come to the resort to have dinner and breakfast. We appreciated that manager Alfie agreed to refund us one person’s meal since my husband got sick at the resort,unable to eat and drink anything.
We loved this beautiful Resort. The wonderful beach, the exceptional facilities, the friendly staff. Especially the Manager Alfie. The moment we stepped on the beach from blue lagoon cruise ship, we immediately impressed by the friendly atmosphere and its beautiful surroundings. Although unfortunately My husband got stomach bug the very night after we landed and ended up too sick for us to enjoy the resort during our very short stay. We left resort with great appreciate for the great care and support from the Manager Alfie. His caring and calm manner greatly eased my worries as I was concerned more serious situation it might be. We highly recommended that truly paradise. We think about revisiting in the future to enjoy what we had missed this time.
