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 StatesWe are from the USA and are accustomed to a top sheet with our bedding. I understand this isn't common in Europe but would have been nice to have the option. The TV was small and very few stations...again not a big deal but if you are looking for an improvement that would be one.
Location was great and walkable for everything we needed during our 3 night stay. The pool, although on the small side, was adequate for our group of older adults who just wanted to relax. The place was neat and orderly and the hosts were fantastic addressing any needs and provided us transportation of our luggage to the cruise ship terminal.

New ZealandOnly small complaint would be very hard uncomfortable beds and pillows. Also the mosquitoes are very bad here compared to other places in French Polynesia we stayed so take lots of deet etc.
Great location only a few minutes walk to the waterfront or 15 mins to the markets/town centre. Very tidy and spacious home, lovely indoor outdoor flow and pool. All the facilities you need including washing machine and dryer. Vairea was lovely and very helpful. Air con available in all rooms. Would definitely stay here again if ever in Papeete. Highly recommend.

United StatesOnly (small) gripe is absence of an electric dryer. There is a washer and a clothes line. The problem is that, with the humidity and frequent rain showers, it is hard to dry swimming things from one day to the next. We ended up setting the provided drying rack under the carport roof, which worked reasonably well.
The house is walking distance to good restaurants and the cruise port area. Parking for a rental car is excellent and even covered. The swimming pool is small but absolutely delightful for an evening cool-off dip. The spacious verandah is a lovely spot for evening drinks.

United StatesThe only drawback was the comfort level of the beds, specifically the queen bed with the ensuite. The home is some distance (1 mile) to stores and restaurants so a car is recommended.
This house was super spacious, very clean, and very homey and welcoming. We loved taking a dip in the pool and showering off under the outdoor shower. The outdoor furniture was comfortable to sit on and relax while drinking coffee in the morning while listening to the local roosters. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy. We were so thankful to be able to stretch out after a long, long flight. There was plenty of space for suitcases and our family of four to have some individual space. We only were in town for 2 nights but could have been happy here for an entire week. There was wonderful AC in each bedroom which made for comfortable sleeping environment. The whole atmosphere was sooooo pleasant, relaxed and peaceful. So much better than a hotel stay! The owners were very kind and welcoming when we met. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

New ZealandAn immaculate house within easy walking distance to a supermarket and central Papeete attractions. A comfortable house with everything you need for self catering. We were a family of 5 and there was lots of space for us all. Having two bathrooms, a dishwasher and laundry facilities was a real bonus. The pool is great to cool off in. Vairea was a fantastic host allowing us to check in early, extending our stay and she went out of her way to help us when our flights home were cancelled.

Location and bedroom/bathroom arrangement was perfect for our needs. The owners were so accommodating and assisted us prior to and during our stay. We had planned this trip over two years ago PreCovid. Unfortunately we had to cancel and rebook several times. Seb and Vai couldn’t have been more gracious. Book your stay here.

United StatesThe location was quiet and convenient, with a supermarket within walking distance. The property is spacious, light, comfortable, and nicely furnished. There are three bedrooms, one en suite, and a second bathroom. All bedrooms have good air conditioning, which is much-appreciated! The outdoor space includes a pool which is big enough for a family to keep cool during the day and stargaze at night. The parking area has a covered port, providing shade or shelter when unloading luggage or shopping. There were plug-in devices for mosquito-repellant, although we didn't figure out what they were until a couple of days into the visit. The kitchen was well-equipped and even had herbs and spices, olive oil etc. (presumably from previous guests), which was a bonus! There was a catering-sized cling film roll on the counter top, which made packing leftovers easy. Whether this was provided by the owner or by a previous guest I don't know, but I hope they continue to provide this. There are roller blinds outside which provide extra shade if needed. The outdoor furniture included a dining area and a seating area which were lovely.
