I waited 1hr before being told. Another bus will take me. Upon booking i made sure the company is aware.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hello Rafael_a. Thank you for your feedback. Your review is a bit confusing with out having any details. We, like many other companies are are severely short staffed and the airlines are continually changing their flight arrival times. Perhaps you were caught up in that. But with no supporting details this is only conjecture. We are doing our best to accommodate demand and unfortunately delays sometimes happen. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
Great service, absolutely recommend

Someone was waiting for us at the carousel where we picked up our bags and directs us to the minibus and taken to our hotel. I estimate we were at our hotel within 40 mins of flight landing

The commentary about Cairns on the 20 minute journey from the airport to my hotel via other people being taken to their hotels was great and very interesting as I hadn’t been to cairns before. Unfortunately I was dropped at the wrong hotel but they were very happy and quick to pick me up and take me to the correct one.
Response from Host , May 2022

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
