Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Waikoloa, Hawaii1 contribution
This hotel was recommended to us by a travel agent. It is right on the square, and the park was quiet at night and full of life during the day. You can easily walk around and hit shopping, pubs and restaurants. Nighttime photos of beutiful buildings worked too. We just so happened to be there when a national dignitary came to visit. Well, it was just little old us and they treated us and our requests even with the heaps of responsibilities they had with a visiting dignitary and the over 100+ people who descended that day and evening on the hotel. The hotel rooms are large, great water pressure and plenty of hot water in the Winter. The front desk staff was excellent and special thanks to Merete for all her help, time, patience and smiles. She was so very helpful and had a great attitude during this deluge of people descending upon their hotel. She made us feel special.

Hotel's Favourite
This is a beautiful historic hotel that is very well maintained. Here’s why we loved it: - Staff are wonderful. Welcoming and very helpful. - The room was a grand deluxe double room - it was just stunning. Two rooms, a seating area and bedroom, separated by a high arch. Amazing bed and linen. Very comfortable couch to flake out on after a day of walking. Each room is uniquely decorated. Everything in the room was well maintained …no stains, scuffles, etc. - Breakfast is very good - loads of choice and good quality. Nice location. - We had dinner in the restaurant - it was okay. The decor is worth it! - This hotel has some of the most interesting light fixtures! Walk around …they actually give tours! - Location was just perfect to explore the city - about 10 mins to the Opera. Lots of nice restaurants in walking distance. - We will definitely return!

We stayed 6 nights and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly, helpful and seemed to have all the time in the world to talk to us, no matter the topic: where to go and where to eat (go to Engebret Cafe!). We even talked about Norwegian history! At the end of the day, they'd ask us what we had done that day and what we thought about it. We connected with the staff, and they with us. Also, the location cannot be beat -- in the middle of everything. Highly recommended.

When I arrived, there was no smile in the reseption and there was no one to help with luggage. You just get the feeling of that the staff really dont want to be there. The same with the hostess in the breakfast. Also the breakfast closes to early. The only thing I can say was really good was the bed.

What a classic luxurious hotel! The staff were all amazing!! One of our friends got injured on the trip and they arranged a wheelchair. They are also wheelchair accessible and were able to change our rooms to one close by the elevator. The lobby bar had great drinks. The spa was only average. The breakfast was great. They include macarons in their buffet. I ate so many!! They also have a bazillion breads, meats cheeses, hot items, and made to order omelets
