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.).

AustraliaRemember that it’s an island and not a 5 star resort so don’t expect fine dining and everything pristine. Come with a relaxed attitude and enjoy the good vibes. Check in is conducted as a group when you arrive so I recommend visiting reception and getting a thorough 1:1 intro to the island as number of people we met didn’t know about things on offer (e.g. free equipment use, underwater city/snorkelling spot off the beach etc). We all had such a relaxing and enjoyable time that we’re going to come back next year!
This place is so special!! We are a family of 4 (2 adults & 5 year old twins) and stayed in the beachfront hotel room, which suited us perfectly. We were on the ground floor with a gorgeous view of the water and a hammock just outside our door. The children loved playing on the grass and beach while we relaxed in the hammock in the afternoon. It is truly the perfect place for kids - multiple playgrounds, nature, snorkelling right off the beach, inflatables, a choice of 4 pools and the nicest staff ever! The kids club was ace! My kids kept begging to go!! We also stayed at a 5 star resort in Denarau and we much preferred our stay at plantation!!

New ZealandPricing was very expensive, approx $1100 nzd per night for a very basic hotel room and had to pay almost $700 for transfers for 4 of us ontop, beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Paying by credit card incurred a 3-5% fee ontop of everything Tavoli restaurant food (the grill) was below average, overpriced, overcooked coral fish, tuna and steak. Disappointing. No cutlery, plates or utensils in room if you want to self cater sone meals
Perfect relaxing family getaway, facilities were fantastic, staff were just amazing and do friendly, lots to do if you wanted too, even though it was fully booked, it was never crowded or too many people. Black coral restaurant was divine food for adults (kids meals were tiny and expensive though & didn't fill them up). Grounds were immaculate.

New Zealandeating costs for a family is quite expensive . $80 for 6 ice creams is crazy . Restaurants also quite expensive

AustraliaRestaurant choice and availability was terrible. We learned that return guests booked months ahead to get a choice of the 2 restaurants at the resort. Otherwise it’s budget every night which we don’t enjoy (not buffet fans) and it was $75pp, again cheaper and better food at restaurant. Lesson learned
Breakfast at the restaurant Tavola was better and cheaper than the buffet at Copra, recommend doing this from day 1
