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.).

AustraliaThe biggest disappointment was Le Lotus restaurant’s booking/vibe. I phoned the hotel a couple of days earlier and made a reservation for our one night there, which somehow didn’t make it into the reservation book when we arrived. This seemed to stress the young lady managing the restaurant, as she was very terse (the least friendly person we met in French Polynesia in 2 weeks), though she still found us a table. I did note that she seemed to be terse with her staff the whole evening, and they did not seem the happiest in their work. Worthy of a workplace culture review, I would say. To be (constructively) honest, the food was pleasant but staid in style, not really current Michelin 2 Star standard, as promoted in the (electronic only!) menu.
Nice spot, lovely overwater bungalow, though not that swimmable from the bungalow, as quite choppy and a little murky, but that may just have been the weather conditions at the time. Nice sandy infinity pool and swim up bar, but other pool being renovated. Check-in and porterage staff were delightful. Le Lotus restaurant’s wine list.

PortugalBreakfast doesn't vary a lot, its usually the same on a daily basis. The lack of a beach close to the property makes it less attractive to be honest. The hotel charges for shuttles to the city, I think it should be included in the room rate.
The larger rooms are quite spacious, both pools are very nice.

United KingdomThe restaurant doesn't serve food between lunch and dinner and we arrived at a strange time so had to go look for food elsewhere. Slightly impersonal check in. Other places had a lei greeting or welcome drink. That isn't necessary but would be a great plus!
We splurged for an overwater motu bungalow and while not cheap, it was an incredible room. The view of the lagoon and Moorea was second to none, the bathroom was huge, the bed was incredibly comfortable. The included breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever seen! The concierge was so helpful with luggage. The pool area is incredible.

United StatesMy primary issues relate to the concierge service and some of the wait staff. We requested concierge assistance booking a restaurant that was recommended. The restaurant was booked but the concierge found us another location for that night and said he would book the location we wanted for the next night. When we arrived in the lobby the next evening to depart for the restaurant we were informed at that time he could not get us a reservation and had booked us instead at the hotel restaurant. This was obviously a very self serving option which precluded the opportunity to select from other alternatives. Since it was Saturday night there was no other options available at that point. Another issue was the time and effort it took to get the attention of the wait staff. With the understanding that everyone is there is to relax and presumably in not hurry, it should still not take several attempts to wave down a pausing waiter to request a condiment or the check. This happened on more than one occasion with different staff at different locations. Finally, on the first day of check in we found that the bathroom sick was clogged and reported it. On the day we checked out nothing had been done.
The facility was clean, well maintained and furnishings were up to date. Bed was comfortable and room was decent size...but perhaps smaller that the room rate warranted. Most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating (see below). The property itself is in a beautiful location and is convenient to the airport.

SpainThe corridors should be renewed and the carpet should be removed as its full of stains due to the rain. We stayed for just 5 hours as we were stopping over before our international flight back home but they didnt offer us any day rate and we had to pay for a full night stay. They should review their rates policies as their proximity to the airport is an opportunity to offer day use rates for those travellers with long waits between flights.
The rooms are renewed and comfortable and they have free wifi all around the property. We didnt have any views to the pool or sea as we were on the ground floor but we had a small terrace with a table and two chairs.

United StatesThe food is a bit pricey for the value. We wished they had a microwave in the room (wasn't one in ours), because we brought back leftovers but did not have anyway to reheat it or finish it.
Love that this hotel was only 5 mins from the airport and about 12 minutes to the downtown area. The staff here are super friendly and helpful. We choose this spot as there is not too much to do downtown, so we could have a place to relax when not adventuring out. The room was a good size which a patio facing the trees (we had the regular King Room accommodation), to the right you could look out and see the water. The pool is also very nice ~ you have an area where you can lounge around in the water and also a fish lagoon where you can snorkel, checking out the little fish they have! They don't provide a shuttle from the airport so we got a taxi which came out to about $17 US one way. The nice thing is they do have a shuttle that goes directly downtown and back, which you can reserve with the concierge for $5 one way, per person. If you want cheaper transportation without renting a car/scooter, download the App "HelloScoot". They have yellow scooters all around the area that you can rent by the minute. It made our trip so much more fun being able to come and go as we please (cost about $7 one way from downtown surrounding areas to the hotel).

United StatesOur room was clean and spacious with a fabulous view of the ocean and the island of Morea. The balcony was large enough for 4-5 people. They have several large pools that accommodate many guests. One of the pools has a sandy bottom and a swim up bar. All of the pools look out at the ocean. The restaurants have wonderful food, but they are very expensive. The resort is 5 minutes from the airport or 10 to downtown Papette by taxi. I would definitely stay there again.
