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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThis is a fantastic place to stay on Moorea. It is very comfortable for two couples. It has separated bedrooms with a bath on each end. The shared living space was excellent. Right on the beach with a lovely deck. Good views and swimming. A real bonus was meeting the family that owns it. We had great visits with Jay, one of the original Bali Hai Boys. It was so fun to get some island history from him and his family. Close to shops and hotels and dining.

United StatesThe location is right on the beach and close to shopping. It was ideal. The host, Jay Carlisle, lives on the property and is the last surviving Bali Hai Boy. He is 89 and is a delightful story teller of what it was like on Moorea in the fifties. You will find out more about the Bali Hai Boys on YouTube with videos that are so old they are in Black and White rather than in Color.

United Statesthere were a lot of mosquitoes. we brought wipes and repellent and needed to buy more. Once we kept the doors closed it got a little better. The master bathroom was a bit rustic, but we didn’t mind it.
love the house for our family of 4. morning coffee on the dock with the amazing fish and neighbors dog was a huge hit. nice options for lunch/dinner close by. we all loved the privacy and down time together. Fantastic options for snorkeling and hiking near by.

United StatesAC only in bedrooms, living room cools some off with both bedrooms AC on. The house is beautiful but has not been updated in long time though beds were comfortable.
Location is great, house is beautiful and really on the beach. You can snorkel, bathe, kayak and canoe all just at your back door. Owner is an elderly American expat that knows a lot of regional history and has his own personal interesting life history. Bianca greeted us and was a pleasure. Great and easy parking in carport. We did not use the kitchen for cooking but it seemed to be well equipped and had a great updated fridge. I recommend

United StatesThe only negative which is no fault of the house was the mosquitos. I would definitely go on the defense right away they ate us alive. The house was equipped with bug spray and zappers so that was much appreciated.
Amazing location! The private beach was so beautiful! The dock was the perfect place to hang out and see all the sea life in the water. I would definitely stay here again. Bianca made the experience so simple; she was a delight!

United StatesAfter traveling around the entire island, I know we picked one of the best locations for us. The house was so nice, comfortable, and you couldn't get much closer to the ocean. Kitchen was well equipped. Enjoyed the clear kayak and playing around in it. We had brought our masks, but they have a container of masks and fins you can use. AND the best bonus was talking to Jay and all the suggestions he was able to give us and stories he shared about the island.

Chez Jay was absolutely perfect for our family! The house had everything you would want and more. Walking distance to food/grocery/shops, activity center, dive shop and ATM. We loved snorkeling from the beach, kayaking and paddle boarding. You could not ask for better hosts with Jay and Bianca. Jay, thank you for sharing your stories and your beautiful home and island. We will return for sure. It's that special.

United StatesThe mosquito infestation of the area was much more serious than we expected. Although we got a warning about mosquitoes, if the hostess had offered specific instructions on how to minimize our chance of getting bit, it would have gone a long way to avoiding the 60+ mosquito bites on one of the guests
The host was nearby (behind the house) and the property was well equipped
