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.).

TurkeyThe owner's dogs, including the untrained biting puppy, roaming the property and swimming in the pool at various times throughout the week only detracted from the great offering provided by the staff. I'm surprised there hasn't been more incidents or mentions in other reviews. The hot water in the shower came and went every few minutes, however allowances can be made given the remoteness of the resort. Also, not a criticism, rather just a suggestion that the staff could more actively offer drinks to those around the pool or out on their balconies.
Storm, Raymond, Milli, Eric and all of the other staff were brilliant from start to finish. The setting of the resort was stunning with great views and an immaculate garden. The food was consistently good/varied and the Fiji night buffet/performance from the local kids was a great idea. The activities offered were all worthwhile and mostly value for money. Our room was a great size and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend!

AustraliaNot a lot to not like! I wondered if there could have been pool umbrellas rather than pool lounges being housed under a shade shed type structure? One could move the lounges yet, there weren’t any trees or umbrellas. I am aware that they could detract from the costal view.
Internet in rooms was addressed quickly - owners were in the throes of installing new routers/ Star Link

GermanyWe loved our stay here! Its a beautiful, peaceful, inviting place. The villas are comfortable, well maintained and very spacious. They are surrounded by lush green and flowerbeds. The ocean is at your footstep. Great snorkeling right at the beach. Food is amazing. Service and hospitality are at an extremely high level, e.g. great work at the reception. A family feel and a very positive energy prevail, making us feel very welcomed. A great place to relax.

AustraliaAbsolutely loved our stay at Taveuni Island Resort! The location is stunning, peaceful, and truly feels like a hidden paradise. The staff, Storm and her wonderful team, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy the entire time. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. What really set this place apart was the relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere and the warm, genuine friendliness of everyone we met. We enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to return!

AustraliaDespite our absolute love for this property, there can be room for improvement and ours were minor. Despite it being spotless (the hardwork of the staff shows) it is indeed in need of maintenance and bathrooms are slightly run down. The shower needed more water pressure and we struggled with consistent hot temperature during showers because it kept changing. The internet was spotty and we struggled to connect with family back home. The biggest issue I faced being a city girl and not really used to it, was dealing with the insects and bugs (no fault of the property and part of being in the middle of lush a green space of nature) there were giant wasps, spiders (even saw a huntsman on my room flower) lizards, mosquitoes and I had to keep topping insect repellent every three hours to keep myself from being bitten ruthlessly by the bugs. The net curtains definitely helped at night with the bites but the sounds of the wasps and lizards kept me tossing and turning at times. If you have a problem with that, you might struggle staying in a beach burre anywhere and not just here.
Read this if you are considering booking this resort! It was out first time in Fiji and Taveuni and I was confused about picking the right accommodation. I came across this resort and the reviews were amazing. Based on that, I booked three days here and let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away by this accommodation and probably my favourite accommodation of all time so far. First the hospitality of the staff is exceptional! From the moment we entered, the manager Storm made us feel welcomed with her warmth and friendly demeanor. We had a free airport transfer and the property is just 3 mins drive from the airport. The check in was seamless and we were offered a refreshing drink on arrival. Next we were taken straight to the dining area which overlooked the ocean and our table was already set up with fresh fruit and bread butter and muffins and the staff took our order for eggs. Then we entered our room which was immaculately clean with hibiscus flowers laid down. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking and the room was spacious with bed, lounge, viewing deck and small kitchenette plus a large bathroom and open shower area. Storm came to check on us and asked if we would like to go for a tour, suggesting the waterfall was a nice place to start. We opted for Lavena coastal walk and waterfall. And guess what she not only organised the tour driver within minutes but the chef also packed us a beautiful lunch to take with us (delicious tuna wraps and fruit). Needless to say we had an amazing time at the falls! We came back at dinner time and had a scrumptious three course meal pumpkin soup, lamb shank and bread pudding. The property is inclusive of all meals and you are served ala carte meals three times a day. There are four chefs at the property and we were mind blown by the delicious and fresh food we were served everyday. Food is probably one of the highlights of this place for us other than breathtaking views and snorkelling.

United StatesMy partner and I stayed here for one week and our expectations were exceeded! We didn't see many photos online, so we weren't sure what to expect. The views were absolutely magnificent, topped by gorgeous sunsets each evening. The room was so spacious and luxurious, the food was delicious, and everything felt so peaceful. From the moment we booked, Storm took amazing care of us - she anticipated our needs, and made us feel so special, and truly made our stay. The restaurant staff were so wonderful as well - Millie, June, William - and Raymond was an absolute legend. He provided the most luxurious, personalised service, but with such a laidback approach. We look forward to returning one day. Vinaka
