Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaDidn’t like that the room wasn’t clean enough. Toilet was not cleaned properly. Stains still in toilet bowl and seat. And can see the soap scum on shower screens.
Location is beautiful. Pool is great! Family friendly. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Love the laidback feel of the resort. The whole island is open for guests to explore. Reef is a great bonus.

AustraliaThe first 3 night of our stay became a little uncomfortable as there was an issue with the air conditioner which made for an uncomfortable environment. There was a lot of condensation resulting in water dripping from our ceiling onto the floor and bedding. On our 4th night we were upgraded to a new room.
breakfast was excellent. Good variety of hot dishes, cold dishes, fruit, pastries etc.

AustraliaThe hotel is a bit old and requires some repairs. Rusty bathtubs should be replaced with a shower suitable for 2 people. Bedside tables should be added to each bed. The Southern part of the island seems abandoned and sad, but has plenty of potential

AustraliaBeing on an island makes you disconnect and enjoy the world around you. Every morning, we looked out to spectacular views and made the most of every day we had there. They have lots of activities on the island (most included!) and had extra things available on the one wet day we had.

United KingdomI think the resort needs some better options as it was fine dining, or pizza and burgers! I believe they would benefit with a snack bar / afternoon bakery type area for more casual dinning. Also better access to drinking water on site as not everyone wants to drinks cocktails!
Lovely experience, unfortunately no sandy beaches since all the coral washed up. So bring water shoes for swimming etc

AustraliaBathrooms were not clean, did not get rooms close together for the family (as requested), only two restaurants open on the island (more advertised on their website) and lots of scheduled activities were not held (such as the glass bottom kayak tours, painting). The food options are minimal - think about families more (rather than trying to squeeze every last $ out of people).

AustraliaBarely any food options, only 1 kid friendly restaurant and you need to factor in at least $200 per day for food for a family of 4. Many Staff weren't overly friendly or helpful, activities often cancelled.
Good activities for older kids, standard hotel rooms, Australian wildlife is cool. Very relaxing. The reefs are nice.

GermanyYou notice that the Hotel is kept up by work and travelers, though they are doing their jobs well especially in the heat that they sometimes have to work in but you notice that they are not professionally trained, so you’d finde dirty dishes at breakfast. Breakfast in and of itself was a game of luck. If you come at the right time you will not wait in lines or find food empty. The breakfast area is way too small to cater to so many guests. Furthermore, it is a bit paradox to ask guest not to bring food or even just snacks on the island but day guests are allowed to. Even worse take-out food from the restaurants was the first to be eaten by the birds at the pool.
Our room was beautiful and we had a wonderful view towards the pool and the ocean. The pool and amenities, like free activities, were all kept up well and a nice way to spend a few days relaxing there. The food at the restaurants was delicious but a bit pricey.
