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 StatesThe room we ordered with 2 beds was not the one we got, so we had to wait a long time for the room we reserved. There was a problem between the description with what I booked and with what we got. The biggest problem was the advice we received on going to the market; they told us to take a taxi, but neglected to tell us that we would have to wait for hours on the street to get a taxi back. Apparently this is common knowledge amongst locals. Fortunately a local felt bad for us and knew we would have to wait hours for a cab after the market closed and gave us a ride back to the hotel. He said the motel should have told us that. Also I did not like that I requested a shuttle months before our trip;was told we could get a shuttle from the ferry to the motel. I had corresponded several times. In the end, they did not make our shuttle reservation like they said they would, and waited to the very last day to make the reservation. Then they waited until the day we arrived to tell us there was no shuttle service from the ferry. They did not give adequate directions on how to get a taxi to the motel. So we ended up waiting a very long time since we did not know how to get a taxi.
The staff were very friendly. The room was very clean, the property was nice, the beds were comfortable.

United StatesEverything was great only one complaint I would have was the greeting and attitude of one lady in your restaurant. She was not friendly at all . At first I thought she was having a bad day but rudeness extended into the next day also. Only ate at your facility two times.
Staff at front desk was exceptional and addressed any questions or concerns that we had. Very pleased

United StatesWhen we first got there we were pointed toward our room and dragged our luggage across the grounds - not sure if there was no cart available or we just should have asked. The room was musty and humid and we were honestly not too impressed! HOWEVER, once that A/C kicked in everything was fine. Room had some upgrades, floors/wall and bathroom but was a little tired. Bed was awesomely comfortable. Only 2 towels, no hand towels or washcloths (again not important enough to call and request them). All in all we were happy with our stay!
We very much appreciated the restaurant on-site and the wonderful staff there. Both evenings there was live music and during the day it was nice to enjoy their oceanside location. We had an 11 am check out but the front desk held our luggage while we stayed on the property until we had a van pick us up about 5:30 pm. Much better than hours in the airport. The Grounds were SO Pretty. The Front Desk staff was Super accomodating as well.

New ZealandWe were very surprised to find a maintenance man fixing a towel rail in our bathroom when we arrived. We were going to go back to reception but he convinced us to stay, which was rather uncomfortable. Then he left, leaving the towel rail dangling. A while later two other staff came to look at his work. Then he came back again and installed the towel rail using a loud drill. All of this was spread out over an hour or so. No apology or compensation was offered. Also the air con was very inefficient and never succeeded in cooling the room much despite us leaving it set on 16 degrees for the entirety of our stay. It dripped water on my shoes which i left underneath it. There were very few powerpoints. We had to unplug the lights to use them.
The nicest thing about this property is the hotel restaurant, which is open air with a lovely view of the ocean. Also enjoyed the great food there. We also appreciated that there was a staff member present at 5.30am (despite reception not opening until 6.30am) to make sure we caught our taxi to the airport.

I’m giving this a five star review in the context of this being a three star hotel but is really bordering on being a four star. It’s in amazing location with plenty of car parking space, in fact you can park in front of your apartments and has everything you need for a nice stay in a well priced (relatively as everything in Tahiti is expensive) resort with a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and exclusive access to a beach (which is a one minute walk from here). The staff were helpful and the best thing was that this is only a 30 minute walk to the centre of Papeete and there are various buses on the main road. I would recommend!

United StatesReally minor- we arrived after dark and when looking for our place, it was hard to see the numbers on the door. (Had to stop the car and run up to the door to see). I didn’t ask for ground floor and should have. No elevator.
We stayed one night before taking the ferry to Moorea. The location was perfect, staff incredibly welcoming, room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I asked for and received 3 rooms near each other for our party of 8.

New ZealandNo designated path through gardens to pool or reception or restaurant. Wifi not working despite telling reception. Surrounding landscaping was over grown and totally unkempt. Restaurant messed up order, language clearly a barrier. Shower didn't work and plug was worn and kept popping out of bath plug hole. Hotel as a whole is tired and badly in need of cleaning up with grounds overgrown with lawns and weeds. Pictures on booking.com were not reflective of what we saw
Pool was OK, restaurant location and view were very good, restaurant service did not reflect this. Rooms were clean with good air con and spscd

New ZealandThe check in was like it didnt matter if we came or not, not all staff but there were a few at out night meal which i thought were quite rude. Sitting in an outside, lovely sea view they decided to close down the shades, was a tad windy not cold but they did not like the fact I asked for it to say open while we had our meal. Having to wait for plates to be re filled at the breakfast buffet was not nice, happened each day, We had a couple of dead chickens outside our door area, about 12 metres away the rooster didnt seem to mind lol but after a couple of days them still being there I was getting rather annoyed.
The pool was great, our room was really nice too really clean and spacious. The tuna 5 ways was my mans best meal he had on the Island he said.
