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.).

The wifi didn't quite make it to our room, as we one of the further rooms, so it was only accessible from the main area. Dinner options were nice, but quite limited and on the pricier side.
Kim was incredibly helpful on arrival, we arrived at 9:30am with an unwell friend. As our room, expectedly wasn't ready to check in, Kim offered many comfortable couches and wifi for her to wait for the room. The room was ready not long after, and way before our check in time of 3pm. Kim provided us with snorkelling gear to use during our stay and many helpful tips for things to do. When we had to cancel an activity, Kim called them up for us to let them know. The room itself was very comfortable and all other staff were great, beautiful views from the restaurant.

Luganville itself is convenient for airport and the major city, but not much else.
Wonderful restaurant, and great cocktails! Aron make a great drink, and the chefs cook a mean meal. All our food was sensational. Safe location close to Luganville, with security guard too.

Wifi was limited in rooms but OK in common areas.
Best staff in Vanuatu! Service was awesome and was certainly miles ahead of anything else you will experience in Vanuatu. Very helpful with tours, advice and drivers. Our departing flight was cancelled due to bad weather and the owner picked us up from the airport and looked after us for another night without any issues. Food was great too!

The only negative was the Wifi reception. A few booster would absolutely help the issue.
Absolutely beautiful property. My room (the family room) was huge and was extremely comfortable! The restaurant, food and staff is what made the stay even more pleasant!

BUT for the price that you pay it’s ridiculous what some parts of the service provided is. The wifi big issue. It says free Wi-Fi, but it does not work at all. Forget about getting reception in your room. Even in the common area it barley works, don’t even think you can sit here and work on your laptop impossible. Until I told them to please get me some credit to top up my phone, the manager only told me well that’s how it is. No trying of finding solution. Which is insane for the price you pay per night. Regarding the breakfast, it’s also a joke. For a continental breakfast which basically is cornflakes with milk or yogurt, bread with jam and peanut butter. I mean no fruits no nothing which is again insane if you look at what you pay, and what the breakfast is in lodges where you pay 1/5 per night. The value for what you get is so out of proportion. Which is quiet upsetting because it could be a amazing place. I payed for some laundry to get done, the price is ok 1,200 vat per basket. But even after 30h I kept asking for it, it came back humid and all clothing smelled bad and some of the items had clearly big stains of detergent on it. Few white items didn’t looked proper cleaned. Whenever I searched for someone at the reception there is no one, and the staff from the bar is left alone needing to take care of things that are clearly not their tasks. Which makes it difficult getting things booked or getting info from the reception. The massage is not worth for the price, it feels like she didn’t learned proper how to give massages and feels like a rip of for 5.000 vat. Which is sad, got very excited about them offering massages because I was definitely in need of one. The food is expensive but super tasty
I must say I feel very controversial about this place. It looks beautiful, the pool, the garden, the rooms. The staff is super nice and the girls from the restaurant and bar are just amazing. Very clean. Delicious food
