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...).

Hong KongBeing right next to the main road so quite noisy traffic Location a bit far from downtown (3km) so need to have transportation if not walking (road not pedestrian friendly). Hotel does recommend a few taxi drivers with reasonable price Unfortunately it's not locally owned. Staff are mostly Filipino/a/x. Great people though not the best if you're looking to support local economy
Staff were amazing, helpful and very friendly Nice amenities in the common area (kitchen, dining, living room) - stove, fridge, rice cooker, microwave, kettle etc Comfy room Could get rental car "delivered" to hotel, booking rental company via hotel staff Plenty of space to hang diving gear to dry (but not covered so watch out for sun and rain)

FijiThe place is quite rundown due to typhoon damage so there's ongoing construction work and they only serve breakfast as their restaurant is closed so you'll have to go out of your way to look for food. But despite this, we still enjoyed our stay so much!
Location, quiet and peaceful, very homey and the staff were so welcoming and friendly and even kept in touch with us after we left. They were very accommodating to our needs as a family with a baby. We even got a free room upgrade as it wasn't that full. We were transiting through 4 other countries and this was our best stay simply cause of how homey and comforting the villa setup was.

AustraliaThe description didn’t specify that the kitchen and living area were shared, but this was a minor surprise and did not detract from our overall experience. The kitchen could benefit from additional cookware and utensils (eg. a chopping board, small fry pan) to better accommodate guests who wish to prepare their own meals.
The apartment was clean and spacious. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable - assisting with booking tours, calling taxis, offering recommendations, and always greeting us warmly.

TaiwanThe weather during our stay was quite unpredictable, and the room felt a bit moist when it rained. Additionally, the location was somewhat far from downtown.
We greatly appreciate the exceptional kindness shown to us throughout our stay. Special thanks to Leo for providing drop-off and pick-up services and for introducing us to the amazing snorkeling, kayaking, and plane tours. We thoroughly enjoyed every tour and had a wonderful experience!

AustriaBreakfast options should be mixed up a bit, it's mostly the same every morning with only minor variations and you can't really have a say in what you want to have.
Beautiful apartments with a huge TV and a well equipped kitchen including stove and big fridge for shared use. The place is very clean, offers a quite relaxing atmosphere, a comfortable big bed and the wifi worked really well (streaming and online meeting no issue at all). We even got an upgrade to a bigger room which was amazing, we ended up staying 7 nights there. Yes it is a bit far from downtown but on the other hand closer to the KB bridge where you can chill and take a swim and it's only a short car-ride to the centre (there is no sidewalk on the main street so walking is kind of difficult and dangerous).

United StatesApartel consists of several units - each unit has 3 rooms and a full kitchen. Each room is rented separately: bedroom with king bed, sitting room, bath. All appliances in kitchen and bath are modern. Breakfast is simple but brought to your room at your request, complete with brewed coffee. Would be an excellent choice for a large family or 3 couples wishing to room together - basically a 3-bedroom house. Staff is exceedingly helpful. Shell Villa is not elegant but an excellent value.

FijiIts not a negative comment just for information that the hotel does not have kitchen service at the moment, but plans are underway to have it running soon. however, villas have kitchen facility so guest can cook their own lunch and dinners. The villa is just one the edge of town so it a 3min taxi ride which costs (USD $5) each way, or if you up for a walk then its a 20mins walk from the villa with beautiful scenery along the way.
Breakfast is served on time and in the villas. I am a vegetarian so the staff made sure that my meals were parpared accordingly. The Villas are very clean and neatly maintained. The hotel manager (Leo), staff (Josh & Sylvia) are very friendly and accomondating to requests, puntual to time (airport pickups and dropoffs).They take good care of guests going the extra mile to provide support. They provide good information about the Koror interms of food outlets, supermarkets, tours and events happening in town. They also offer guests to join them on their market runs as a way to show them around.
