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 reviewHamen was a great host. Great personality, very helpful. He stored our luggage free of charge while we traveled Yasawas. He can organize pick ups and drop offs. We also rented a car from him at reasonable price. Place was clean and good enough for restful sleep. Hot shower and aircon. Local shop 2 minutes away. Highly recommended

Verified reviewThe location was very private, so perfect for couples or a single person who wants to stay for a short day or week. The host was very respectful and would let you go about your day. It's definitely a perfect spot for couples to rekindle their love and have a wonderful time together.
My advice is to have a vehicle at least, in order to move about as transportation for taxi and busses limited to an extent. Be comfortable with sharing a ride with others if you are to catch a return taxi. Or at least have a reliable local taxi driver at your back pocket. Haman, would also be happy to assist if you need any transportation assistance.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was OK. I had it only once. I liked the friendly family cat.
The host and I did not really hit it off too well unfortunately, even from the beginning. I paid for 4 nights, but left a night earlier (no refund was offered to me for the last night, and I was too embarrassed to ask). It became intolerable when 2 good friends (who I've known for 13 years) came into the property with me on the 3rd afternoon, after being out with them for the day. I was intending to offer them a cup of coffee and say my goodbyes to them, as it was my last full day, but within a few minutes of arrival from being out, I was pulled aside by the owner, and he told me in no uncertain terms that a condition of staying at the property was that no guests were allowed. Not even my friends. I decided then and there that this was really too much, so I decided to leave on the spot. I left that premises half an hour later after packing up my stuff, and moving to another property for my last night.
unfortunately it's was a very unpleasant experience for me as the guest had his personal issues from the moment we met he was full of personal complains as his local companion had not turned up.and the most disappointing factor was when he began looking for local male companions. I explained the guest that no visitors were not allowed on the property but inspite of my advise he brought 2 local companions who were load n noisy. Mr Phillip checked out around 6pm.

Verified reviewHamen is a truly lovely person—so kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. One of the highlights was how he was always happy to offer rides wherever we needed to go for just a small cost, which made our experience in Fiji even more enjoyable and convenient. It's not every day you get such personalized service, and it really added to the overall charm of our trip. Highly recommend staying here for a warm and authentic experience in Fiji!

Verified reviewAs a solo female traveller, I felt comfortable staying here. Hamen was fun to chat to and provided travel suggestions. He can drop you off or pick you up if timing works, so you don't have to worry about public transport or taxis. (It was ~ 10 min from Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami (Hindu) Temple and ~ 30 min from the port.) I rented out his spare car which allowed me more flexibility. The breakfast is generous.
Sometimes heard loud people outside at night or early in the morning.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and the host was very friendly and helpful, providing transport when we needed it. Air-conditioning was good when there wasn't a blackout. Local shop was convenient.
The room was smaller than we would have liked and the location was more remote from Nadi than we expected. (The address provided, Nadi Back Road, was inaccurate; house was on Nawaka Road, over 1.5 km from Nadi Back Rd.) There was no TV and no streaming service as stated in listing, but there was good wi-fi (host blamed Booking.com for delay in updating.)

Verified reviewThe location is just outside of Nadi town. Hamen also has a car available for rent at a great rate. I took the taxi and bus while I was staying there. For those who prefer to drive on their own, I would recommend talking to Hamen about his car rental. The room has A/C, a private bathroom, a mini fridge, and a microwave. I was very comfortable during my stay. The host is kind and attentive. I would book with him again.

Verified reviewThe host (Hamen) was very welcoming, accommodating, approachable, efficient, and was always happy to help. Our stay happened to be in rainy days, but, Hamen looked after us and helped us decide on the things that we can do, gave us suggestions. He also had a car for rent which we utilised for our traverse in Fiji.

Verified reviewIndeed the name befits my experience - Home Away From Home gave me that. I had no plan of staying 2 nights in Fiji, becoz I was transiting for Kiribati but I had VISA issues so had to stay two nights while sorting out my VISA. I was a bit stranded at the airport at 9:00am (then I booked a place to stay), but Hamen went out of his way and offered to pick me up ahead of his check in time. And throughout my stay he drove me around the city to cool places and to do my errands (btw. he also has a car for hire). We had great chats and laughs! Fantastic host, he puts a personal touch in his services. A truly reliable host, who enjoys giving his best. Not having my VISA was a blessing in disguise and furthered my personal motto: Live the life you love Love the life you live
