How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewEveryone at The Espiritu was amazing and the interactions with all the staff was the highlight of our stay. Everyone went out of their way to help whether it was booking tours, preparing fruit we purchased at the markets or helping to organise food to take for tours. The restaurant was very reasonably priced and they cooked up some delicious dinners, and the included breakfast menu was very generous and tasty. The Espiritu is located on the main street in town, making it perfect for local tour pick ups, supplies in town and close to the airport. We would definitely recommend staying at The Espiritu and would happily stay here again in the future. Thank you to Cindy and the team for the wonderful experience you provided!!
Nothing!

Verified reviewOur room was very clean and comfortable with a good shower, A/C and fast WiFi, the staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and it’s in an ideal location for exploring Luganville!
Unfortunately we weren’t able to use the pool for most of our stay due to a private event, which was disappointing as it looked lovely. Also the TV only had a few limited local channels

Verified reviewRoom was quiet enough, has aircon, and bed ok. Good shower. Free pool table near reception. The swimming pool area looked nice but didn't use it.
Unfortunately the hotel restaurant had no tables available for lunch the day we arrived - tables were apparently booked out for mother's day brunch. Staff suggested a cafe over the road but it wasn't open. (If you're arriving at meal-time we'd suggest you check before arrival and see if you can book a table - otherwise try to eat before you arrive or bring your own food!) It was also hard to get something to drink while we waited for our 2pm check in; we asked for a drink at the bar (called 'The Tu') - they told us to go to the other bar by reception. Ordered there, waited 20 minutes for our drinks, then they told us we should've gone to the other bar (where we went first). Breakfast is included, but it's only a basic choice & not much in quantity.

Verified reviewStay here once a year for work and it’s always great. Love staying on the street side so I can sit on the balcony and watch the world go by. Great views and always something happening. Complimentary breakfast is great and the menu is varied enough. Staff are very friendly. Great place to stay.
If you play AFL or NRL in the bar on the weekend I would spend more money watching the games.
