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...).

The hotel is dark ; low level lighting not to our likening. The rooms where the shower is over the bath is a disaster ; its difficult to get in and when running the shower most of the water runs over the floor making it very slippery.

GermanyThe hotel rate is very high and with no breakfast - or for an additional EUR 25 per day - but french polynesia is generally much much overpriced to foreign tourists, for the service you get sometimes deliver. But to adjust pricing is only a hotel management topic.
in an french dominated country like french polynesia, it was a positive experience that hotel has some key english speaking people at the front desk which helped me a lot. It is know world wide, and other have made similar negative experiences that french people what to be in their "french bubble". I was before in Mexico and the mexian are often willing to get in contact and at least try to speak english as possible.

AustraliaBreakfast was really poor. The buffet was not replenished so that if you were not early coming down to breakfast your choices were extremely limited. Some local fruit - bananas and pineapple could have been supplied. There was a small cafe down the street that was a god send. On one night we thought we'd go to the lounge bar for a drink. It was closed. But worse still - the staff member who directed us there didn't know it was closed. The exterior areas of the hotel eg pool and surrounds urgently needed maintenance. Papetete was not quite what we expected. We should have booked a hotel out of town so that there were activities to do.
The room was excellent - extremely spacious and well laid out. The bed was comfortable

United StatesSee above. When shower the water leaked all over the floor each time. Tub had to actually climb into it was so high. Whom ever designed this had no clue on design. The breakfast buffet for 10000 Frac was not worth the price, coffee old tasting and food selection was just ok, not for the price
I from the booking should have had a king bed in a loft. I had a king bed and a living room with a spare twin thrown in it. That bed took up the whole living space. That living space is why I booked that room and did not get it.
