Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaReally nice room and resort but it is very isolated with no options for any food and drink outside the hotel which means the variety is limited. Perhaps an option to buy sandwich or drinks, snacks, from one of the little gift shops would help. Our room had a fantastic balcony but we couldn't really have a drink in our room because we couldn't get takeaway drinks. You don't always want a full on dinner. The town shuttle is great.

CanadaThere are no restaurants around so you are 'stuck' using the hotel restaurant; it was decent food and decently priced. The lounge chairs at the pool need to be replaced.
Our room was renovated and amazing; ocean view suite with hot tub. The property was large and relaxing, right on the beachfront. The pool was large. The people working at the resort were friendly and helpful. Noticed that there was a bus stop out front of the resort.

CanadaThe safe was on too high a shelf to be able to use it. We couldn’t use the hot tub as it was difficult to get in and out of it. A step would be very helpful
Lovely, big room and comfy bed; view was great;; pool and deck area big, with lots of lounges; nice eating area by the pool looking out to the ocean; and always tasty food; warm, friendly and helpful staff.

AustraliaDespite clearly requesting twin beds at the time of booking I was given a room with one bed. Also, the aircon didn’t work. Surely the staff knew this before allocating the room. This isn’t fair given the cost of the room.
Particularly liked the free shuttle to the town centre. Some of the restaurant food was very good.

United StatesNothing, loved it all.
Le Tahiti is on a 'private' bay and also has a lovely swimming pool area. The grounds are lush and tropical, just what you would hope for in Tahiti. The rooms were spacious and we loved the large lanai with a spectacular view of the ocean and Moorea. Staff was wonderful and accommodating.

New ZealandMy room had no fridge which wasn’t good when you wanted to keep water, coke or most importantly the wine cool! Little run down, the balcony door made an awful noise every time you opened it and the toilet only had half a flusher. I messaged the property but no one got back to me. The service at the restaurant wasn’t the quickest or the most attentive.

AustraliaA lovely stay to finish off our honeymoon - we loved going to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing on the black sand beach just outside. Bed was very comfy - and if you think you don't need a hot tub in your room then think again!

United KingdomThe communal areas of the hotel felt a bit tired and could do with a refresh but it didn't take away from the overall experience.
The staff at the Pearl were fantastic and the rooms were great. The pool area is fab too. The beach right next to the pool is beautiful so it was great having the option of pool or beach right there.

United StatesWhile there were no major issues, the place looked a little dated and old around the edges.
We had initially booked a typically hotel room, but got upgraded to a top floor premium suite at check-in. The views of the ocean were fantastic! The staff was attentive and able to answer our questions about the area. We were here for two nights and spent most of our time hanging out in the suite because it was so nice and relaxing.
