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.

Was here for 2 weeks and found the hotel room clean with comfortable bed. Bedsheets and towels are white and changed daily . Daily replenishment of bottled water, shampoo and soap was done without fail. The shower was HOT which was great because of the weather. The staff were professional and seemed committed

Breakfast was a little more than basic with a variety of fruits served- the only protein was eggs.

Lastly, the ambiance was great and hotel well designed with lots of green

I recently had the experience of leading a multi-person medical team into the Western Highlands to support medical workers at the Mt. Hagen Provincial Hospital. We lodged at the Highlander Hotel in excess of six weeks. Anyone who visits, for work or pleasure, needs to remember exactly where you are and adjust expectations based on reality and not unrealistic expectations. That said, the management and the staff at the Highlander Hotel succeeded in making the long stay and long work hours at the hospital as pleasant as possible. Indeed, their efforts exceeded our expectations. A polite and attentive staff, an accommodating and positive manager, supportive and aware security teams, and a restaurant with a better menu and food better then major hotels in Port Moresby (or most other metropolitan city). The local manager and the leadership at Coral Sea Hotels Group deserve extra points for running a solid operation in a setting that is challenging at the best of times. Everyone at the hotel attended to the needs and safety of the medical team.

The staff upon arrival, I was greeted with a smile and welcomed with warm and comfort attending to my needs (concierge). With the extent of my work requirements I was accompanied to a comfortable location near the Numing Bar for some work. The environment and the rooms are clean including the ambience and light settings. The touch of music walking towards your room as a in house guest along with smooth tiles and nicely placed curtains in your rooms, well accomodating.

overpriced for the service, food service is very very slow and staff not able to give what's been ordered. Instant coffee passed off as plunger coffee twice - in the Highlands where the coffee is grown and produced???, -told no eggs or bacon available for breakfast, but then somehow eggs were available. terrible service. Menu restricted if you plan a long stay. wouldn't recommend if somewhere else available.

Dear Michaela, Thank you for your feedback. 🙏🏻 I genuinely regret the inconsistencies and challenges you faced during your stay with us.

Coffee: ☕ We proudly serve freshly ground coffee brew on our menu. Complimentary plunger coffee is available at the breakfast buffet, and instant coffee sachets are reserved for guest rooms strictly. I apologize for any confusion or disappointment this may have caused. Menu: 🍽️ We are actively working to expand our themed menu offerings for longer stays, e.g., 👨🏽‍🍳Chef's Specials: 🔥 Flame Grill Tomahawk Mondays 🧀 Cheesy Pork Cheddar Melt Tuesdays 🍖 Irish Braised Oxtail Wednesdays 🌊 Fruit of the Ocean Thursdays 🍤 Surf & Turf Fridays 🥩 Coal fried Sirloin Steak Saturdays 🍝 Ooey Gooey Lasagna Sundays, etc. Please know we're committed to continuous improvement and your insights will guide us.

Dear Wojciech, Duplicate Charge: Apologies again, as discussed this was an honest mistake the agoda VCC should have been charged and not your credit card. Instead when our p.m. Duty Manager tried charging your card and it didn't appear to go through due to poor network and eventually both transactions went through. Voiding transactions is disabled on the EFTPoS terminal due to internal controls. Our front office manager has been in contact with you to assist in filling the refund application form to submit for the refund to process. Please help us by filling in the details on the refund application form and I'll ensure the refund is expedited. I know all of this is not very user friendly but we'll do everything we can to assist! WIFI: Sorry, our power-generator's transfer switch jamming (cause has been dealt with as discussed), which resulted in a 50 min power outage despite having 2x healthy Gensets with 7500ltrs of diesel backup. The UPS died after 40 mins causing the servers to go down which had to be reset from Port Moresby; all this resulted in a total of 3 hrs Internet downtime. HVAC: Yes, it's true we do not have air conditioning in any rooms as convention in Hagen due the the temperature averaging 17° C, but we have arranged for some cooling fans to be made available to you. Hope we addressed the concerns and offered adequate solutions; Wifi has been restored, Refund form has been shared, and a cooling fan has made it's way to you! We are looped on mail with you and soon as we have that refund form we'll set internal process in motion. Best regards, Saif Jugari General Manager, Highlander Hotel & Apartments

We just stayed one night to be sure we could catch the earliest flight to POM. The room was nice enough and clean but the wifi didn't work in the room and I had to go to the restaurant to get the signal. The TV was a bit annoying as I had to input a code every time I changed a channel. Shower was hot. It's a bit expensive but sometimes there are discounts via the online booking agencies.
