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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesNothing really. I am used to driving hills, but someone not used to it might be nervous on the road up and the driveway. Only one suggestion - since there are no ceiling fans, a couple of box or other fans would be a nice addition because the afternoon sun made it warm inside even with open windows and doors.
The location was excellent and beautiful. The hosts were accessible and very pleasant. The warm banana bread was a wonderful surprise. The view is amazing.

RomaniaThere are a few things I did not spot in other's comments', so I want to underline, for nerds like me who like to have all the information before booking a place. I must underline that all these comments were not taken into account for the final score I gave. the score of 9 is more than fair. to be excellent, from my point of view, there should be an investment in the part of bed, linen, sheets, dryer, toiletries, etc. Currently they are great for a 9, but they don't make it a 10. coming back: 1. You have to be aware that this place is on a hill, so getting there requires a bit of skilled driving 2. Also, because it's in the nature, there's plenty of small lizards and cricket sounds. you need to be aware that you're gonna share your place with them. which is not bad, as you cannot have this amazing view in the amazing place in the nature without the nature. but if you like to be secluded and need complete quietness, especially when you sleep, you may want to consider this 3. There were some electricity outages. I don't think it happens often, the hosts were super reactive and helpful, but it's not something you want to bump into when you are on holiday. 4. Payment was done cash. not accepting wired transfers. not sure if this was stated somewhere in the booking, so please be aware, as we are usually non-cash travels, so we got lucky for having some US Dollars. we did appreciate the hosts' flexibility for the currency, thumbs up
The house is located in a nice, quiet area, on top of a hill, benefiting of an amazing view We liked it a lot and the hosts are doing a great job by making your staying comfortable! We were greeted with banana bread, we could do our laundry and we had privacy, which is great. The place it's well equiped, there is a garage, there's a barbecue, an oven, etc And very important, it was very clean! I recommend it as an option for Tahiti.

United StatesStunning view. Away from the busy center as the house is located up in the hills. The location makes the house very pleasant, with cool breezes and a better temperature. And did I mention the view? The pool was very nice to have, and we were surprised with homemade banana bread by our hosts. Our hosts, Francios and his wife, live next door and were just terrific. The drive up the hill is quite long, the bedrooms and bathroom are very basic, and the driveway is quite steep to drive into; we were able to manage with our tiny KIA rental car. We would definitely come back, maybe even bring the kids if they're lucky.

United KingdomThis property is fantastic value for money, the views are worth it. You definitely need a car for this property, we are avid walkers and it was a little too much for us.
The outdoor area is spacious, comfortable and the views are spectacular, you can hear the waves crashing on the reef and echoing up the hills. The bedrooms are simple but comfortable and also share fantastic views. The kitchen was fully functional and very well equipped offering all the basic amenities (salt and pepper etc). Corrine and Francoise were very friendly hosts who allowed us to checkin early, providing some breakfast pastries and a warm welcome. They checked in on us during the first day and were very responsive to any messages, they even offered us a lift to Punaauia before we had our car. We are staying there again!

CanadaThe distance up the hill means you must rely on a car. No delivery or anything, it's a bit of a shock how high up the mountain it is, so prepare yourself. The house is "open" style, so we used mosquito coils and the host provided plug in mosquito repellent. Barely noticed them after that.
The hosts live next door and are SO kind. Once you climb up the mountain the place is beautiful, and the views stunning. We watched a lightning storm over Mo'orea one night. One very large open loft at the top and two bedrooms with separate rooms and doors. Fantastic kitchen and pool, and the landscaping of the property is gorgeous. Very safe neighbourhood that is gated.

United StatesThey made us a loaf of banana bread when we checked in and some fruits. Hosts were extremely friednly. The property is challenging to get to, just make sure you dial them before going. the view is killer, as is the warmth of the next door hosts. Need a car and be able to drive up very steep hills and corners. Once you go to the place, leaving will seem laborious because of the hill and driveway the house sits on.
