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.).

Hong KongThere are holes in the bures where insects can get in. The first night we came back to our room full of flying ants even on our bed after dinner. This can be mitigated by turning off the lights in the bedside. We liked the staff is welcoming, cheerful and friendly but we would have wished more clarity in confirming our daily activities. It took us a while to figure out who is the right person for booking and he might have misguided us in our scuba diving schedule. We almost couldn't have our seafood platter because of lack of coordination with the kitchen despite expressing our interest to a number of staff. There needs to be greater transparency in terms of pricing of activities and beverages, for example we were given a form to fill in for private picnic meals and there is no pricing indicated for alcoholic drinks. We were happy to pay for what we incurred but having the transparency upfront would be appreciated.
Located in the furthest of the Yasawa Island so it has the best sandy beaches with crystal clear water. The Fijian style bure is spacious, beautiful and the beach is right at our doorstep. We were coming to celebrate birthday and they specially prepared a cake with birthday song for us. The food was decent and with variety of choices every meal. We especially liked the breakfast and the seafood platter is a must try with abundance of fresh lobster, prawns and fish from pacific ocean. I also liked the relaxing spa at the seaside. There were a number of complimentary activities to choose from daily - we really liked the guided snorkel trip by boat, the coconut tasting, and the private beach trip cannot be missed for sure. The complimentary sea plane trip is a breath-taking experience. This may not be the typical 5-star hotel you experience elsewhere but it definitely provides an authentic and enjoyable experience in the tropical island. Special Vinaka to Junior for being the most patient and trust worthy diving instructor, Oli for taking the most magnificent snorkel shots with our gopro camera, Nathan for always taking care of our every need coupled with his natural humor.

AustraliaThere needs to be more transparency regarding charges, including taxes, credit card fees, etc. Additionally, during our stay, we were surprised to find that they started charging for non-alcoholic beverages, even though our booking included full board. This unexpected change felt unfair and quite confusing to us and our guests. We ended up having a chat with management, and they honored our booking conditions, which was a positive outcome indeed. The Yasawa.com website still states that all non-alcoholic beverages are included, and Booking.com also offers full board for new bookings, so it’s unclear how this will be handled in the future. Clear communication and consistency are crucial, and addressing these issues would significantly enhance the guest experience. Another suggestion is to have firm mattresses with the option of an extra layer/cover for guests preferring a softer bed. The current beds were not really comfortable for us, and we also heard the same from other guests. Thin mattress from outdoor desk was actually more comfortable to sleep compared to the one in bedroom.
It was our second visit to Yasawa, and it was very positive, relaxing, and enjoyable. The staff were absolutely brilliant—always friendly, accommodating, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the amenities provided were excellent. The location, although remote, made it pleasantly private and perfect for a peaceful retreat. The food included in our full board was delicious and varied, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The resort runs multiple activities throughout the week, so there are plenty of options to explore the surroundings, meet the locals, and have fun. Early morning fishing trip was another nice adventure - suggestion is to go fishing with a bigger group (max 6 ppl), its more fun then.

AustraliaCould not fault them. Staff were lovely and happy to help with anything you need. The food was delicious too. A couple of nights the power went out but it always came back on and I don't think this was the resorts fault.
Oh my goodness! What an amazing resort and little pocket of the world. We stayed 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff were so lovely and the facilities great. So many activities. We loved the private beach picnics, beach, snorkelling and spa treatments. If you're looking for a place to stay in Fiji, book this one! You won't regret it. We will be back for sure!

We loved every moment spent there. The island has stunning scenery and beaches, food was great, but the best thing was the staff ranking well above any resorts we know - the most heartwarming hospitality. Had tears in my eyes when they sang us a farewell song when we were leaving.

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing.
Every bit about this was amazing. From the food, to the location, and of course, the loveliest locals I've ever known. The locals know how to do happy. The resort is filled with amazing activities including going to the Blue Lagoon Cave or having a picnic on a secluded paradise beach where you're left to have the entire beach to yourself! Not doing any activities is equally amazing where you can just chill to take in the ocean views which you can never get tired of.

AustraliaWhilst I appreciate supplies are difficult to get and a focus is on local produce the food handling and the final result of dishes served is not up to par. E.G Frozen bread or croissants when thawed should be heated up in an oven not served cold with a soggy wet bottom, no one is in a hurry and is quite happy to wait for a couple of minutes to have an edible croissant instead of mush. Cuisine is local but perhaps a little training to bring up the standard would be a worthwhile investment.
The location was excellent the people were outstanding and the experience very nice.
