Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandThe 1km road to the property is gravel and not in the best shape. Some issues with my room in terms of plumbing - toilet and hot water. And an ant problem in my room. No tv (possibly no reception anyway). None of these were huge issues, but still detractors. I spent most of my days in the communal areas though, so these were only an issue at night. Pool table needs chalk and for the table legs to be adjusted.
The communal areas were nice and a good place for people to relax and meet new people. Free continental breakfast. Free items to use such as a volleyball, kayaks, SUPs, and snorkels. Food menu was reasonably priced and a decent size/quality.

New ZealandPillows were thin with little support but no worse than other places. Place needs a bit of maintenance but you see the maintenance staff working hard. This certainly did not deter us from loving our time there!
What’s not to love! The staff are amazing so nice and accommodating! The location is right on the beach, when we were there you couldn’t snorkel 🤿 directly off the beach as it was low tide from midday. The food is delicious with a varied menu is on a five day cycle. Great selection of drinks available at the bar. Rooms are basic could do with some more shelves around it. Has a clothes line to dry your clothes live this. Ed checks in with you to see how you are enjoying your stay and if you need any assistance with activities or tours. We loved it we left feeling so relaxed and would definitely go back. They have a few hammocks around and a lovely big day bed with ocean views.

New ZealandLike many 2-3 star resorts in the Pacific, the word "resort" can be misleading for many people. Expectations come high when you use the word resort. You should think closer to high end backpackers or motel. If you set your expectations high you will likely be disappointed. In the islands, water quality in your room can be an issue. Power cuts do happen. They don't always have a commercial diesel generator for back up power. Wifi may be patchy or restricted to the reception area only. So get your own local SIM card. Things are always getting patched up or maintained, which is normal. Access roads into "resorts" will often be bumpy and gravel. The bures often don't come with aircon and are very simple in their furnishings. Room toilets are often right next to the shower with little separating them. Meals and water will always be double or more than buying outside the resort. So, don't expect a 2-star resort in Fiji to be like a 2-star hotel in the modern Western world. And you'll be sweet.
Nice beach and great restaurant food. Ed and Jen the owners were very approachable and helpful in answering any questions. Pool was nice. Free activities equipment was great.

AustraliaLike most coral coast resorts, it’s not great for ocean swimming and ocean activities at low tide. This isn’t a criticism of the resort at all, simply guidance for people trying to work out where they might want to stay.
Mango Bay was excellent, and the staff and facilities were great.

Breakfast was great. Location out of the way but we enjoyed peace and quiet and no issues getting a bus into town. Great snorkelling gear to use. Friendly lovely staff. Rotating food menu each day was awesome and good vegetarian options.

New ZealandThe exceptional friendly staff are easily the stars of this resort. Everyone was so kind and helpful and just made you feel at home. Ed was an amazing host. He even went out of his way to get a chicken pie when my partner was hankering to try one. The food, oh my world, the food here was incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip. The chef here is a magician. I still dream about the chicken vakalolo in my sleep. If you're after the 'Hilton' experience, this is not the place for you. The Bures are basic accommodation, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

AustraliaWe weren’t able to stay in the Bure we booked due to an issue and the Bure we stayed in had a couple of maintenance issues but nothing that took away from the trip.
The location is stunning, right on the beach. The staff are super friendly. The food is amazing, very tasty. Menu changes daily with a different cocktail of the night. You can do as little or as much as you like. Paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment are available for use at no extra charge. Tours can easily be booked through the resort. This is a more traditional type resort so if you are needing the comforts of home this isn’t the place for you. We found it a great spot to relax and rewind and get away from the normal rush of home. We had a hire car which made getting around the island easier, as Mango Bay is out of the way. 2 hours from the airport.
