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.).

ThailandThe room is pretty old and it was a bit dirty with sand on Sofa. It doesn’t come with breakfast. The price is a bit too high for what it is. I know the room is big with living but if you come with big family it’s fine and if it’s cleaner I would not complain.
The location is super nice by the beach with a great view of Moorea island. The room is super big with kitchenette. They give us Macaron as a birthday gift- thank you very much.

United StatesThe only downfall was having only one bathroom. But this would not deter me from staying here again. The food and drinks were also pretty pricey.
We are budget travelers. We rented the 2 bedroom ocean view apartment. And it was exactly as presented on the website. The kitchen had a 2 burner stovetop, microwave, a full size refrigerator, a toaster, an electric kettle, and a kuerig-style coffee maker with 2 pods of coffee. The living area had a sofa and a chair. One bedroom had a king bed and the other room had two twin beds. There is only one bathroom which had a bathtub, shower and double sink vanity. The toilet was a separate room and near the kitchen. We were able to walk about 10-15 minutes away to get food to cook. There was a large patio that had a table to seat six and two lounge chairs. There was a sliding door from the living area and a separate sliding door from the bedroom with the king bed. It was the most beautiful view to wake up to. You can see the pool and outdoor bar area as well as Moorea. This room worked well for a couple traveling with friends. The staff is also friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice- but very pricey drinks. $28+ for specialty drinks and around $10 for a draft beer. The location is also good- about 10-15 minutes from the airport and ferry. The taxi ride from the airport was about $30 for two people.

United StatesThe housekeeping staff did not clean room on a day I put out the hanger, and I returned at 3pm to find it wasn't cleaned and someone showed up a little later to clean.
I liked the lagoon for ocean swimming and the snorkeling trip. I should say that some reviews said that their reservation was bumped and they didn't have a place to stay, so I was worried about that, but I had no problems. Room was very large and had Netflix availability from my app. The shower room was a terrific bonus I was not expecting - that is, the availability at the end of my stay after checking out to use a shower before my overnight flight.

United KingdomThis is really why I have had to score low on some points. Staff attitude at Restaurant and the main bar was really poor. Such a huge difference from super friendly welcome at Reception and Activities. Please monitor this, my first day was really spoilt by negativity at Taapuna Restaurant & Bar. I was also very disappointed that having requested 24 hours in advance a table close to the water for my last night to find my table for one was furthest way from the lagoon. I actually left and enjoyed a delightful evening at the Taapuna Beach Bar. Breakfast was also disappointing, ran out of hot food by 08:30 one day and other days food was just cold. I did mention this and a little later saw chef taking away these food warmer trays.
My Studio with Lagoon View was excellent more like an apartment. 2 quite separate rooms, with bedroom and a lounge which led onto good size terrace. Kitchen was also well equipped for 4 people, - you wouldn't want to be cooking dinner every night! Infinity pool with waterfall was excellent, plenty of loungers and additional space at Miki-Miki motu and the Taapuna Beach Bar which is delightful spot at sunset time. Service at Reception was exceptional and also at Activities Desk by pool - they were so kind but also efficient. Also help at both early and late arrival was excellent with full use of facilities, a transit room for quick shower before flight departure all made such a huge positive difference.

New ZealandThe rooms were basic and are getting a little tired (but are very clean). We had stayed there once before (almost 12 years ago), so we knew what to expect. The staff, services, location and good general facilities make up for that.

United KingdomOn our second night the service in the restaurant and bar was very poor. We were not advised when substitutes were made to the meals and they were not as said on the menu. We waited for 49 minutes to be served despite having a reservation. The food was cold and it was clear they were very short staffed in the restaurant. No one told us when something was unavailable. They just substituted it for something else eg satay chicken skewers became bbq chicken. Sweet potato fries substituted for french fries
Beautiful location with stunning views across to Moorea.

United StatesBeautiful setting on the water. We enjoyed views to Moorea, the pool and the ocean front areas at Te Moana our ocean front suite. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The breakfast buffet was great ( and included for our stay). It would be too expensive if we had to pay extra. Our room was clean and huge! We enjoyed our ocean front deck. We also ate lunch and dinner during our stay and both were delicious and served quickly. Husband snorkeled in the small lagoon by the outdoor restaurant. We really enjoyed sitting in lawn chair out on the small islands beyond the snorkel lagoon and swimming pool. We walked a couple blocks down the road to buy sunscreen. - easy! We would stay again. The front desk arranged a taxi for us upon departing.
